The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed description will be omitted.

[0039] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” and “the” are used to indicate the existence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended meaning of inclusion and that other elements / components / etc. may exist in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a dishwasher, including a dishwasher body 1, a detergent dispenser 2, and a water purifier 3. The dishwasher body 1 has a dishwasher cavity 11; the detergent dispenser 2 is disposed outside the dishwasher body 1 and communicates with the dishwasher cavity 11; the water purifier 3 is disposed outside the dishwasher body 1, and the water purifier 3 has a water purifier inlet 31 and a water purifier outlet 32. The water purifier inlet 31 is configured to communicate with a tap water pipe, and the water purifier outlet 32 ​​communicates with the dishwasher cavity 11.

[0041] The dishwasher of the present application, the detergent distributor 2 and the water purifier 3 can be arranged outside the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher, that is, the detergent distributor 2 and the water purifier 3 are both external and not arranged in the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher, thereby not occupying the space of the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher, increasing the washing capacity of the dishwasher and improving the user experience of the dishwasher. In addition, compared with the prior art, there is no need to arrange a water softener, which can reduce the overall cost of the dishwasher, and the water in the tap pipeline can enter the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher after being purified by the water purifier 3, so that the washing water entering the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher can not contain calcium ions and magnesium ions, so that scale will not be generated during the washing process without arranging a water softener in the dishwasher.

[0042] Specifically, the water purifier outlet 32 can communicate with the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher through the detergent distributor 2, that is, the water purified by the water purifier 3 will enter the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher through the detergent distributor 2 in turn. Through the above structure, not only the pipeline can be simplified and the water inlet path of the dishwasher can be optimized, but also the opening on the cavity wall of the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher can be reduced and the production and processing efficiency can be improved.

[0043] Further, the dishwasher can further include a rinse agent distributor 4 arranged outside the dishwasher body 1 and communicating with the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher, that is, the rinse agent distributor 4 is the same as the detergent distributor 2 and the water purifier 3, that is, both are external and not arranged in the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher, thereby not occupying the space of the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher, which can further increase the washing capacity of the dishwasher and improve the user experience of the dishwasher.

[0044] It can be understood that the rinse agent distributor 4 can be filled with a rinse agent, and the main function of the rinse agent is to accelerate the drying of tableware, which is added to the machine during the rinsing stage, so as to change the surface tension of the tableware, so that water is difficult to adhere to the tableware, and the evaporation of water during the drying process can be accelerated, thereby accelerating the drying effect.

[0045] In the present embodiment, the rinse agent distributor 4, the detergent distributor 2 and the water purifier 3 can be arranged adjacent to each other from top to bottom on the circumference of the front side of the dishwasher body.

[0046] In some embodiments, the rinse agent distributor 4 and the detergent distributor 2 can be arranged in a pull-out structure opening forward, so as to facilitate the addition of the rinse agent and the detergent.

[0047] Further, the rinse agent distributor 4 can be arranged between the downstream of the water purifier 3 and the upstream of the dishwasher body 1, so that the rinse agent in the rinse agent distributor 4 is discharged and the water flowing out of the water purifier outlet 32 is flushed into the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher.

[0048] In one feasible embodiment, the water purifier outlet 32 ​​can be connected to the dishwasher cavity 11 via the detergent dispenser 2. The rinse aid dispenser 4 is positioned above and connected to the detergent dispenser 2, so that the rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser 4 is discharged and falls into the detergent dispenser 2. Water flowing out of the water purifier outlet 32 ​​is flushed into the dishwasher cavity 11 through the detergent dispenser 2. That is, the detergent dispenser 2 is equivalent to a T-shaped pipe fitting, which has three open ends, specifically a first open end, a second open end, and a third open end. The dishwasher cavity 11 has a connection port on its inner wall. The first opening end can be connected to this connection port, the second opening end can be connected to the detergent dispenser 2, and the third opening end can be connected to the water purifier outlet 32. Thus, the dishwasher cavity 11 only needs to have one connection port for connecting the first opening end on its inner wall. Therefore, with the above structural arrangement, the pipeline can be simplified by utilizing the height difference and relying on gravity, and the number of openings on the inner wall of the dishwasher cavity 11 can be reduced, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0049] In another feasible implementation, the water purifier outlet 32 ​​can be connected to the detergent dispenser 2 through the first pipeline, and the rinse aid dispenser 4 is disposed on the first pipeline.

[0050] In another feasible embodiment, the detergent dispenser 2 can be connected to the dishwasher cavity 11 via a second pipe, and the rinse aid dispenser 4 is disposed on the second pipe.

[0051] In this invention, a rinsing agent control valve 5 may also be included, which is disposed between the rinsing agent dispenser 4 and the detergent dispenser 2. With the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the dispensing of rinsing agent can be conveniently controlled.

[0052] Furthermore, the rinse aid dispenser 4 can be positioned above the detergent dispenser 2, allowing the rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser 4 to fall into the detergent dispenser 2 when the rinse aid control valve 5 is open. That is, by utilizing the height difference, the rinse aid can fall into the detergent dispenser 2 under the action of gravity when the rinse aid control valve 5 is open, so as to facilitate subsequent rinsing. With the above structural arrangement, the piping can be further simplified, and the number of openings on the cavity wall of the dishwasher cavity 11 can be reduced, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rinsing agent dispenser 4 and the detergent dispenser 2 are connected by a vertically extending connecting pipe 9 (or dispensing channel). A solenoid valve can be installed on the connecting pipe 9 to open or close the connecting pipe 9.

[0054] In some embodiments, the rinse aid control valve 5 may be a solenoid valve, and the dishwasher may also include a controller electrically connected to the solenoid valve for easy control.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present application, the water purifier 3 can comprise a first filtering unit 33 and a second filtering unit 34 connected in series, the first filtering unit 33 having a composite filter element (or can be referred to as a multi-in-one filter element), which can comprise a filter membrane layer, an activated carbon layer and a filling layer (or can be referred to as a PP layer) arranged from outside to inside for sequentially filtering the water to be filtered through the filter membrane layer, the activated carbon layer and the filling layer.

[0056] Further, the second filtering unit 34 can have a reverse osmosis membrane filter element (or can be referred to as an RO filter element) with a pore size of 0.001 microns, which can be used to remove other small contaminants in the water in addition to pure water, such as bacteria, viruses and residual chlorine, etc.

[0057] Still further, the second filtering unit 34 can be arranged downstream of the first filtering unit 33, and through the above arrangement, the service life of the first filtering unit 33 and the second filtering unit 34 can be prolonged. In specific applications, the filter membrane layer can be used to filter the water to remove relatively coarse particulate impurities, sludge, colloids and suspended substances in the water, the activated carbon layer can be used to adsorb foreign colors, odors, chlorine and other substances harmful to the human body in the water, the filling layer can be used to deeply purify bacteria, chemical pollution and heavy metals and other impurities in the water above 0.1 microns, and the reverse osmosis membrane filter element can be used to remove other small contaminants in the water in addition to pure water, such as bacteria, viruses and residual chlorine, etc. That is, four-stage purified water can be achieved.

[0058] In some embodiments, the upper portion of the dishwasher main body 1 can also be provided with a sink, that is, the specific type of the dishwasher of the present application is not limited, which can be a cabinet dishwasher, a table dishwasher and an integrated dishwasher.

[0059] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The dishwasher can also comprise a purified water faucet 6 and a tap water faucet 7. The purified water faucet 6 and the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher are arranged downstream of the water purifier 3, and the tap water faucet 7 is connected in communication with the tap water pipeline. Specifically, the water purifier outlet 32 is connected in communication with the purified water faucet 6 and the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher, respectively, and the outlets of the purified water faucet 6 and the tap water faucet 7 can be directed towards the sink, which can facilitate the user to take water at the sink for use. Further, the dishwasher can also comprise a water inlet valve (or can be referred to as a water distribution valve) arranged at the detergent dispenser 2. The water purifier outlet 32 can be connected in sequence through the detergent dispenser 2 and the water inlet valve to the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher. When the water inlet valve is opened, the purified water can flush the detergent (such as dishwashing powder) in the detergent dispenser 2 to the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher, which can be used for washing dishes in the dishwasher.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the front side of the dishwasher main body 1 can have a tableware taking and placing opening 12 for taking and placing tableware and communicating with the dishwasher inner cavity 11, and a door body structure 8 which opens downward and forward can be rotatably arranged at the tableware taking and placing opening 12. When the door body structure 8 is in an open position, the rinse agent distributor 4, the detergent distributor 2 and the water purifier 3 are exposed, and the rinse agent distributor 4, the detergent distributor 2 and the water purifier 3 can be conveniently operated (for example, adding rinse agent and replacing the filter element of the water purifier 3). Further, the detergent distributor 2, the rinse agent distributor 4 and the water purifier 3 can all be front-pull type structures (or front-pull type quick-change structures). Specifically, taking the water purifier 3 as an example, the first filter unit 33 and the second filter unit 34 can be arranged to slide in the front-rear direction of the dishwasher main body 1. For example, the periphery of the front side of the dishwasher main body 1 has a panel 13, and the left side of the panel 13 has a first filter unit mounting opening and a second filter unit mounting opening arranged in sequence from bottom to top. The first filter unit 33 and the second filter unit 34 are arranged to correspond to the first filter unit mounting opening and the second filter unit mounting opening. Through the above structure, the rinse agent distributor 4, the detergent distributor 2 and the water purifier 3 can be further conveniently operated (for example, adding rinse agent and replacing the filter element of the water purifier 3).

[0061] In some embodiments, the rinse agent distributor 4, the detergent distributor 2 and the water purifier 3 can also be arranged at the upper part and the side part of the edge of the front side of the dishwasher main body 1, so as to facilitate the user to operate without bending over.

[0062] In some embodiments, the sewage drainage port of the water purifier 3 is provided with a sewer assembly, and the sewage drainage port is communicated with the sewer through the sewer assembly.

[0063] From the above, the present application has at least the following technical effects:

[0064] 1. The external rinse agent distributor 4, the detergent distributor 2 and the water purifier 3 can greatly increase the space of the dishwasher inner cavity 11, reduce the space occupation of the dishwasher inner cavity 11, and improve the capacity of the dishwasher inner cavity 11.

[0065] 2. The washing water of the dishwasher flows to the dishwasher inner cavity 11 after being filtered by the water purifier 3, filters calcium ions and magnesium ions from the incoming water, effectively prevents the generation of scale under the premise that the dishwasher does not have a water softener, reduces the cost of the module (water softening module) of the dishwasher, and improves the cleanliness of the washing water.

[0066] 3. The rinse agent dispenser 4 and the detergent dispenser 2 required by the dishwasher are arranged with a height difference (the height of the rinse agent dispenser 4 is greater than the height of the detergent dispenser 2), so that when the dishwasher is in the rinsing stage, the rinse agent is caused to flow to the detergent dispenser 4 by gravity, and thus, when the dishwasher is in the water filling stage, the water purified by the water purifier 3 can carry the rinse agent in the detergent dispenser 2 into the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher, and thus, a main water inlet line can be used to realize normal dispensing of the detergent / rinse agent, for example, a tap water line can be connected to the inner cavity 11 of the dishwasher through the main water inlet line, and the water purifier 3 and the detergent dispenser 2 can be arranged on the main line in the direction from upstream to downstream.
