[0005] The present invention provides a cleaning device with a disinfection function, comprising: a shell; a condenser, arranged in the shell, the condenser comprising: an inner shell, including an air outlet and an air inlet, the air inlet being suitable for connecting to a disinfectant water generating device; a condensation chamber, arranged in the inner shell, connected to the air inlet and the air outlet respectively, and having a condensation element built therein, the condensation element being suitable for condensing water vapor in the gas flowing through the condensation chamber; a water collecting chamber, arranged in communication with the condensation chamber, and suitable for collecting accumulated water in the condensation chamber.

[0006] The condensation part includes a plurality of condensation plates, which are protruded along the inner side walls relatively arranged along the condensation chamber and are staggeredly distributed to form a condensation channel with repeated bending arrangements. The two ends of the condensation channel are respectively connected to the air inlet and the air outlet.

[0007] The condensation plate and at least the inner wall of the condensation chamber are made of metal.

[0008] The condensation plates are arranged parallel to each other, and / or the bending positions of the condensation channels are arranged in the form of arcs.

[0009] A partition is provided between the water collecting chamber and the condensing chamber, and a plurality of flow holes communicating with the water collecting chamber and the condensing chamber are provided on the partition.

[0010] The flow holes are arranged along the bending positions on the same side of the condensation channel.

[0011] The inner shell also includes a drain pipe, which is communicated with the water collecting chamber and is suitable for draining the accumulated water in the water collecting chamber.

[0012] The inner shell includes: an upper cover, at least part of the condensation chamber, and a first connecting member is arranged along the outer wall of the upper cover; a lower cover, which is arranged on the lower side of the upper cover and includes a water collection chamber, and a second connecting member is arranged on the outer wall of the lower cover, and the second connecting member is detachably sealed and connected to the first connecting member.

[0013] The condensing chamber includes a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber, and the condensing plate includes a first sub-plate and a second sub-plate. The first sub-plate and the second sub-plate are arranged in abutment with each other in a direction perpendicular to the partition, and are correspondingly arranged in the first sub-chamber and the second sub-chamber. The first sub-chamber is correspondingly arranged in the upper cover, and the second sub-chamber is correspondingly arranged in the lower cover.

[0014] The lower cover includes an enclosure and a bottom plate. The enclosure is connected to the upper cover, and the bottom plate is arranged on a side away from the upper cover and is sealed with the enclosure.

[0015] The inner shell is provided with an inner arc for giving way along the side direction.

[0016] The cleaning equipment is a dishwasher.

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] The cleaning equipment with a disinfection function provided by the present invention includes: a shell; a condenser, which is arranged in the shell, and the condenser includes: an inner shell, including an air outlet and an air inlet, and the air inlet is suitable for connecting to a disinfectant water generating device; a condensation chamber, which is arranged in the inner shell and is respectively connected to the air inlet and the air outlet, and has a condensation element built in, and the condensation element is suitable for condensing water vapor in the gas flowing through the condensation chamber; a water collecting chamber, which is connected to the condensation chamber and is suitable for collecting accumulated water in the condensation chamber.

[0019] Since the gas emitted from the disinfectant water generator has a high water content, it is easy to condense into water in the air path and air pump behind the outlet. Over time, the amount of condensed water is large, which is harmful to the air pump. In particular, the condensed water contains ozone components produced by the disinfectant water generator. The air pump is easily oxidized when immersed in condensed water for a long time. The air path is mainly a circulating air path. The condensed water can easily enter the discharge electrode glass tube in the disinfectant water generator, affecting the electrolysis of the disinfectant water, and even causing the discharge electrode to discharge, break down and burn the sealing ring and the glass tube. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the condensed water in the air path and reduce the humidity in the gas.

[0020] By setting up a condenser connected to the disinfectant water generating device, a condensation element is set in the condensation chamber thereof, and the water vapor in the gas flowing through the condensation chamber is condensed to reduce the water content in the gas.

This setting can effectively remove the water vapor in the gas discharged from the disinfectant water generating device, and at the same time remove the ozone in the water vapor, thereby increasing the service life of structures such as the air pump on the rear side of the gas path, and preventing the condensed water from returning to the disinfectant water generating device.

For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0034] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 This embodiment provides a cleaning device with a disinfection function, including: a housing and a condenser. Specifically, the cleaning device is a dishwasher, and can also be a clothing washing and disinfecting machine or other equipment.

[0035] The shell is the outer shell of the dishwasher and has a built-in condenser. In this embodiment, the condenser is connected to the gas outlet of the disinfectant water generating device.

[0036] Specifically, the condenser includes: an inner shell 1 , a condensation chamber 2 and a water collecting chamber 3 .

[0037] The inner shell 1 includes an air outlet 12 and an air inlet 11. The air inlet 11 is connected to the disinfection medium generator, while the air outlet 12 is connected to the air pump and other structures in the subsequent air circuit. Specifically, in this embodiment, the inner shell 1 is configured as a square shell, with a recessed inner arc 13 on one side to facilitate clearance with other internal structures of the shell, facilitate installation, and optimize the internal space occupied by the condenser.

[0038] The condensation chamber 2 is arranged in the inner shell 1 and is respectively connected to the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12. In this embodiment, the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 are respectively arranged on two opposite side walls of the condensation chamber 2. The condensation chamber 2 is equipped with a condensation element, which is suitable for condensing water vapor in the gas flowing through the condensation chamber 2.

[0039] The water collecting chamber 3 is connected to the condensing chamber 2 and is suitable for collecting the accumulated water in the condensing chamber 2. In this embodiment, the water collecting chamber 3 is arranged at the lower side of the condensing chamber 2 and is connected through the flow hole 6. As a convertible implementation method, the water collecting chamber 3 and the condensing chamber 2 can be arranged in parallel, or the condensing chamber 2 can be arranged at the lower side of the water collecting chamber 3, and the two chambers are connected by a small pumping device.

[0040] Since the gas emitted from the disinfectant water generating device contains a high water content, it is easy to condense into water in the air path and air pump behind the air outlet 12. Over time, the amount of condensed water is large, which is harmful to the air pump. In particular, the condensed water contains ozone components generated by the disinfectant water generating device. The air pump is easily oxidized when immersed in condensed water for a long time. The air path is mainly a circulating air path. The condensed water can easily enter the discharge electrode glass tube in the disinfectant water generating device, affecting the electrolysis of the disinfectant water, and even causing the discharge electrode to discharge, break down and burn the sealing ring and the glass tube. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the condensed water in the air path to reduce the humidity in the gas.

[0041] By setting up a condenser connected to the disinfectant water generating device, a condensation element is set in its condensation chamber 2 to condense the water vapor in the gas flowing through the condensation chamber 2 to reduce the water content in the gas. At the same time, a water collection chamber 3 is set to collect the accumulated water in the condensation chamber 2 to facilitate timely treatment of the accumulated water. This setting can effectively remove water vapor in the gas discharged from the disinfectant water generating device, and at the same time remove ozone in the water vapor, thereby increasing the service life of structures such as the air pump on the rear side of the air path and preventing condensed water from returning to the disinfectant water generating device.

[0042] Specifically, the condensing element includes several condensing plates 4, which are protruding along two opposing inner walls of the condensing chamber 2. Specifically, the inner wall of the condensing chamber 2 where the condensing plates 4 are located is not the same wall as the inner wall of the condensing chamber 2 where the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 are located, but are located adjacent to each other. Furthermore, the condensing plates 4 are connected to both the top and bottom plates 83 of the condensing chamber 2. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 83 of the condensing chamber 2 serves as the partition 5 connecting the condensing chamber 2 and the water collection chamber 3.

[0043] Preferably, the condensation plates 4 are staggered along the two opposing inner sidewalls of the condensation chamber 2, and together form a repeatedly curved condensation channel, with the ends of the condensation channel connected to the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12, respectively. Furthermore, the condensation channel fills the entire condensation chamber 2. As an alternative embodiment, the two types of condensation plates 4 disposed along the two opposing inner sidewalls of the condensation chamber 2 can be spaced apart along their extension direction. As another alternative embodiment, the two types of condensation plates 4 can be staggered in pairs or in a staggered arrangement of multiple plates.

[0044] By providing the condensation channel, the flow path of the gas in the condensation chamber 2 is effectively improved, so that the gas can pass through the condensation plate 4 as much as possible, thereby effectively improving the gas condensation efficiency.

[0045] In this embodiment, the condensation plate 4 and the inner shell 1 are both made of metal, specifically steel, copper or aluminum alloy, etc. As a convertible implementation method, only the condensation plate 4 and the inner wall of the condensation chamber 2 can be made of metal.

[0046] In this embodiment, the condensing plates 4 are arranged parallel to each other, and the condensing channels are arranged at arc-shaped bends. This arrangement reduces the manufacturing cost of the condensing plates 4, reduces the difficulty of forming the condensing chamber 2, and facilitates manufacturing. Furthermore, the arc-shaped bends of the condensing channels effectively reduce gas flow resistance. As an alternative embodiment, the condensing plates 4 may be arranged parallel to each other, or the condensing channels may be arranged at arc-shaped bends.

[0047] In this embodiment, a partition 5 is disposed between the water collection chamber 3 and the condensing chamber 2. The partition 5 is provided with a plurality of flow holes 6 that connect the water collection chamber 3 and the condensing chamber 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the flow holes 6 are disposed along the bend on the same side of the condensing channel. In this embodiment, the partition 5 is disposed horizontally or tilted toward the flow holes 6.

[0048] This arrangement connects the water collecting chamber 3 and the condensing chamber 2 to achieve drainage. When the inner shell 1 is not placed horizontally but arranged vertically, drainage can still be achieved through the flow hole 6, thereby improving the versatility of the condenser.

[0049] In addition, the inner shell 1 also includes a drain pipe 31, which is connected to the water collecting chamber 3 and is suitable for draining the accumulated water in the water collecting chamber 3. As a convertible embodiment, the drain pipe 31 may also be omitted, and drainage can be achieved by regularly disassembling and assembling the water collecting chamber 3.

[0050] In this embodiment, the condensation chamber 2 vertically includes a first sub-chamber 21 and a second sub-chamber 22. Each condensation panel 4 is divided into a first sub-chamber 41 and a second sub-chamber 42 along a vertical direction perpendicular to the partition 5. The first sub-chamber 41 is disposed within the first sub-chamber 21, and the second sub-chamber 42 is disposed within the second sub-chamber 22. The first sub-chamber 41 is connected to the inner top wall and inner side walls of the first sub-chamber 21, while the second sub-chamber 42 is connected to the inner side walls of the second sub-chamber 22 and the partition 5. The bottom edge of the first sub-chamber 41 and the top edge of the second sub-chamber 42 are arranged opposite and abutting each other, with their edges flush. As an alternative embodiment, the two sub-chambers can be staggered. This arrangement facilitates inspection and cleaning of the internal structure of the condensation chamber 2.

[0051] The first sub-cavity 21 is correspondingly arranged in the upper cover 7 , and the second sub-cavity 22 is correspondingly arranged in the lower cover 8 .

[0052] The inner shell 1 includes: an upper cover 7 and a lower cover 8, and the lower cover 8 is arranged on the lower side of the upper cover 7. In this embodiment, the upper cover 7 has a built-in first sub-chamber 21, and the lower cover 8 has a built-in water collection chamber 3 and a second sub-chamber 22. At the same time, a first connecting member 71 is provided on the outer wall of the upper cover 7, and a second connecting member 81 is provided on the outer wall of the lower cover 8. The second connecting member 81 is detachably sealed and connected to the first connecting member 71, and the connecting edge of the upper cover 7 and the lower cover 8 is provided with a step, so that the upper cover 7 and the lower cover 8 are detachably sealed and connected to each other.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second connecting member 81 and the first connecting member 71 are specifically fixed ears with holes, which are connected by screws and bolts. As a convertible embodiment, the second connecting member 81 and the first connecting member 71 can also be a buckle slot structure.

[0054] As another alternative embodiment, the upper cover 7 may house the entire condensation chamber 2 , and the lower cover 8 may house only the water collecting chamber 3 .

[0055] In this embodiment, the lower cover 8 includes a surrounding plate 82 and a bottom plate 83. The surrounding plate 82 is connected to the upper cover 7, and the bottom plate 83 is arranged on the side away from the upper cover 7 and is sealed with the surrounding plate 82. Specifically, it is fixed by bonding, and can also be fixed by sealing engagement. This arrangement facilitates maintenance and cleaning.

[0056] 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 appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
