[0025] In an optional embodiment, the method further comprises the step of:

[0026] communicating the blocking member between the residue collecting cavity and the slag breaking cavity, and enabling the washing water to enter the residue collecting cavity and the slag breaking cavity in sequence.

[0027] The residue treatment filter provided by the present application comprises a filter container, a blocking member and a slag breaking assembly. The internal space of the filter container comprises a residue collecting cavity and a slag breaking cavity. The blocking member is installed between the residue collecting cavity and the slag breaking cavity to communicate or isolate the residue collecting cavity and the slag breaking cavity. An inlet and an outlet are formed on the filter container. The inlet communicates with the residue collecting cavity, and the outlet communicates with the slag breaking cavity. The slag breaking assembly is rotatably installed in the slag breaking cavity. The residue treatment filter provided by the present application can be applied to a washing device such as a dishwasher. The filter container in the residue treatment filter is installed in a water cup on the inner container base of the dishwasher. The inlet of the filter container, which communicates with the residue collecting cavity, faces upward and communicates with the inner container of the dishwasher. The outlet of the filter container, which communicates with the slag breaking cavity, can communicate with the drainage system of the dishwasher. The initial position state of the blocking member can be in the state of isolating the residue collecting cavity and the slag breaking cavity. As the washing process proceeds, the residue on the tableware in the inner container of the dishwasher is discharged into the residue collecting cavity of the filter container along with the washing water and gradually accumulates in the residue collecting cavity. When the dishwasher completes the first drainage program in the washing process, a large amount of residue will accumulate in the residue collecting cavity.

During the crushing process, the residue in the slag breaking cavity is isolated from the residue collecting cavity by the blocking member, so that the fine residue generated during the crushing process will not splash into the residue collecting cavity and will not return to the inner container to contaminate the tableware. The fine residue generated after crushing can be discharged into the drainage system of the dishwasher through the outlet communicating with the slag breaking cavity. In addition, after the residue is crushed, the blocking member can be moved again to communicate the residue collecting cavity and the slag breaking cavity. At this time, the washing water in the inner container of the dishwasher can continue to enter the residue collecting cavity and the slag breaking cavity, and flush the fine residue in the slag breaking cavity, so that the fine residue in the slag breaking cavity is more easily discharged through the outlet.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the residue treatment filter provided by the application can isolate the residue collection cavity and the residue crushing cavity after the residue in the residue collection cavity enters the residue crushing cavity through the blocking piece, so that the fine residue generated by the residue crushing assembly in the residue crushing cavity when working cannot splash out of the residue crushing cavity to contaminate tableware, and the residue crushing assembly can be shielded to reduce safety hazards. The residue treatment filter provided by the application can realize residue collection and crushing while avoiding the fine residue in the crushing process from splashing and contaminating tableware, and can clean the crushed residue by using washing water, without consuming extra water. The residue treatment filter does not need to be manually cleaned by the user, and does not cause secondary contamination of tableware, greatly improving the user experience.

[0029] The application provides a dishwasher comprising the above-mentioned residue treatment filter, so that the dishwasher provided by the application can achieve the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned residue treatment filter.

[0030] The application provides a residue treatment method applied to the above-mentioned dishwasher, which comprises the following steps: after the first drainage program of the dishwasher ends, the blocking piece is connected to the residue collection cavity and the residue crushing cavity, and the residue in the residue collection cavity enters the residue crushing cavity; the blocking piece is isolated from the residue collection cavity and the residue crushing cavity; and the residue crushing assembly is driven to rotate to crush the residue in the residue crushing cavity. The residue treatment method provided by the application applied to the above-mentioned dishwasher can also isolate the residue collection cavity and the residue crushing cavity after the residue in the residue collection cavity enters the residue crushing cavity through the blocking piece, so that the fine residue generated by the residue crushing assembly in the residue crushing cavity when working cannot splash out of the residue crushing cavity to contaminate tableware, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0041] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0042] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0043] Embodiment:

[0044] As Figures 1-4As shown, the residue treatment filter provided by the embodiment includes a filter container 1, a blocking piece 2 and a residue crushing assembly 3; the inner space of the filter container 1 includes a residue collecting cavity 10 and a residue crushing cavity 11, the blocking piece 2 is installed between the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11 to connect or isolate the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11; the filter container 1 is provided with an inlet 12 and an outlet 13, the inlet 12 is communicated with the residue collecting cavity 10, the outlet 13 is communicated with the residue crushing cavity 11, and the residue crushing assembly 3 is rotatably installed in the residue crushing cavity 11.

[0045] The residue treatment filter provided by the embodiment can be applied to a washing device such as a dishwasher, and the like. Figure 1 As shown, the filter container 1 in the residue treatment filter is installed in a water cup 4 on the inner container base of the dishwasher, the inlet 12 of the filter container 1 which is communicated with the residue collecting cavity 10 faces upward and is communicated with the inner container of the dishwasher, and the outlet 13 of the filter container 1 which is communicated with the residue crushing cavity 11 can be communicated with the drainage system of the dishwasher.

[0046] When the dishwasher completes the washing program in the washing process, the food residue will gradually fall off from the tableware and gradually gather at the bottom of the inner container of the dishwasher along with the flow of the washing water, and then the dishwasher will perform the first drainage program in the washing process, when the washing water is drained, the food residue will gather in the residue collecting cavity 10 of the filter container 1 along with the water flow. The initial position state of the blocking piece 2 can be in the state of isolating the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11, at this time, the blocking piece 2 can prevent the residue from flowing into the residue crushing cavity 11 from the connecting part between the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11.

[0047] In actual application, the blocking piece 2 can be inserted or rotatably installed between the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11, by applying external force to the blocking piece 2, the blocking piece 2 can be moved or reversely moved, so that the blocking piece 2 can realize the connection or isolation between the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11.

[0048] When the dishwasher completes the first drainage program in the washing process, a large amount of residue will accumulate in the residue collecting cavity 10, at this time, the blocking piece 2 can be moved to connect the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11, after the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11, the residue in the residue collecting cavity 10 will enter the residue crushing cavity 11 under the action of gravity. After the residue in the residue collecting cavity 10 enters the residue crushing cavity 11, the blocking piece 2 is moved again to return to the initial state to isolate the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11. Then the residue crushing assembly 3 can be driven to rotate, and the residue crushing assembly 3 is used to crush the residue in the residue crushing cavity 11, because the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11 are isolated by the blocking piece 2, the fine residue generated in the crushing process will not splash into the residue collecting cavity 10, and will not return to the inner container through the residue collecting cavity 10 to pollute the tableware. The fine residue generated after crushing can be discharged to the drainage system of the dishwasher through the outlet 13 which is communicated with the residue crushing cavity 11.

[0049] In addition, after the residue is completely crushed, the blocking member 2 can be continuously moved so that the blocking member 2 re-connects the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11, at this time, the dishwasher enters a rinsing program after the first draining program, in the rinsing program, the inner container of the dishwasher will again enter washing water, and the washing water can enter the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11, and flush the fine residue attached to the inside of the residue crushing cavity 11 and the residue crushing assembly 3, so that the fine residue in the residue crushing cavity 11 is discharged through the outlet 13 with the water flow, and the cleaning of the filter container 1 and the residue crushing assembly 3 is completed.

[0050] After the washing water in the rinsing program is discharged, the blocking member 2 can be moved so that the driving member returns to the initial state to prepare for the next residue processing.

[0051] Compared with the prior art, the residue processing filter provided by the embodiment can isolate the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11 after the residue in the residue collecting cavity 10 enters the residue crushing cavity 11, so that the fine residue generated when the residue crushing assembly 3 in the residue crushing cavity 11 works will not splash out of the residue crushing cavity 11 to pollute the tableware, and the residue crushing assembly 3 can be shielded to reduce safety hazards.

[0052] As can be seen, the residue processing filter provided by the embodiment can realize residue collection and crushing while avoiding the fine residue in the crushing process from splashing and polluting the tableware, and can use washing water to clean the crushed residue without consuming extra water. The residue processing filter does not require the user to manually clean the residue in the filter container 1, and does not cause secondary pollution of the tableware, greatly improving the user experience.

[0053] As shown in Figures 1-4 The residue processing filter provided by the embodiment can further include a poking member 5 rotatably installed in the residue collecting cavity 10, for rotating to push the residue in the residue collecting cavity 10 to the communication between the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11 under the driving of an external force.

[0054] The poking member 5 is used to improve the residue processing effect and efficiency. Specifically, when the residue accumulated in the residue collecting cavity 10 needs to enter the residue crushing cavity 11, the poking member 5 can be driven to rotate in the residue collecting cavity 10, so that the residue in the residue collecting cavity 10 is continuously pushed to the communication between the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11 by the poking member 5, so that the residue in the residue collecting cavity 10 can continuously enter the residue crushing cavity 11 through the above communication, preventing the residue from remaining in the residue collecting cavity 10.

[0055] In order to further prevent the stirring piece 5 from hindering the residues from entering the residue collecting cavity 10, the stirring piece 5 is arranged between the central axis of the residue collecting cavity 10 and the inner wall of the residue collecting cavity 10, at this time, the stirring piece 5 occupies a smaller space in the residue collecting cavity 10, which is beneficial to the residues entering the residue collecting cavity 10, and after the stirring piece 5 rotates, the stirring piece 5 can comprehensively push the residues in the residue collecting cavity 10.

[0056] When the filter container 1 is cylindrical, the edge length of the stirring piece 5 in the radial direction of the filter container 1 can be equal to the radius of the filter container 1, at this time, one side of the stirring piece 5 is located at the central axis of the filter container 1 and the side is the rotation axis of the stirring piece 5, and the side of the stirring piece 5 opposite to the side at the rotation axis can abut against one side of the inner wall of the filter container 1.

[0057] Preferably, the blocking piece 2 is rotatably arranged between the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11 in the embodiment.

[0058] Further, the filter container 1 can be selected as a cylindrical hollow structure, and the blocking piece 2 can include a baffle, the baffle being hingedly connected to the inner wall of the filter container 1 by a pin shaft, at this time, the position of the baffle is the communication position of the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11, and the communication position of the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11 can be closed or opened by rotating the baffle.

[0059] Specifically, when the blocking piece 2 rotates to isolate the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11, the baffle surface is perpendicular to the central axis of the filter container 1, and the circumferential side of the baffle abuts against the inner wall of the filter container 1, at this time, the baffle can isolate the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11. When the baffle rotates to communicate the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11, the baffle rotates around the above-mentioned pin shaft as the rotation center to abut against one side of the inner wall of the filter container 1, at this time, the baffle opens the communication position of the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11.

[0060] Further, the baffle included in the blocking piece 2 can be two, and the two baffles are respectively hingedly connected to the inner walls of the opposite sides of the filter container 1 by pin shafts, at this time, the structure of the baffle is similar to the existing door body of the double-leaf door, and the process of closing or opening the communication position of the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11 can also be realized.

[0061] In order to simplify the structure of the blocking piece 2 and facilitate the rotation of the blocking piece 2 in the filter container 1, the blocking piece 2 is rotatably arranged between the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11 by a rotation shaft perpendicular to the partition plate 6 in the embodiment. Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the intersection of the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11 in the filter container 1 is fixed with a partition plate 6, and the partition plate 6 is provided with a through port 60 for communicating the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11; as shown in Figure 6As shown, the blocking piece 2 is located at one side of the partition plate 6. When the partition plate 6 is fixed at the joint of the slag collecting cavity 10 and the slag crushing cavity 11, the opening and closing of the joint of the slag collecting cavity 10 and the slag crushing cavity 11 is realized by the cooperation of the partition plate 6 and the blocking piece 2. Specifically, when the blocking piece 2 rotates away from the through hole 60 on the partition plate 6, the slag collecting cavity 10 and the slag crushing cavity 11 are connected through the through hole 60; when the blocking piece 2 rotates to the side of the through hole 60 on the partition plate 6, the slag collecting cavity 10 and the slag crushing cavity 11 are blocked by the blocking piece 2 and the partition plate 6.

[0062] In the embodiment, the filter container 1 can be cylindrical, and correspondingly, the partition plate 6 is circular, and the diameter of the partition plate 6 is equal to the diameter of the filter container 1, and the through hole 60 is arranged between the center and the outer edge of the partition plate 6. The rotation axis perpendicular to the partition plate 6 can be arranged at the center of the partition plate 6, and at this time, the blocking piece 2 rotates around the central axis of the partition plate 6.

[0063] In the embodiment, the filter container 1 can be cylindrical, and correspondingly, the partition plate 6 is circular, and the diameter of the partition plate 6 is equal to the diameter of the filter container 1, and the through hole 60 is arranged between the center and the outer edge of the partition plate 6. The rotation axis perpendicular to the partition plate 6 can be arranged at the center of the partition plate 6, and at this time, the blocking piece 2 rotates around the central axis of the partition plate 6.

[0064] As shown in the drawings, Figure 6 The blocking piece 2 can be two, and the two blocking pieces 2 are respectively connected with the rotation axis at the center of the partition plate 6, and the two blocking pieces 2 are distributed at 180 degrees and are both connected with the rotation axis. Correspondingly, as shown in the drawings, Figure 5 The through hole 60 is also two, since the two through holes 60 need to be arranged one by one with the two blocking pieces 2, and the through hole 60 needs to be arranged between the center and the outer edge of the partition plate 6, so as shown in the drawings, Figure 5 At this time, the two through holes 60 are diagonally arranged on the partition plate 6. When the two blocking pieces 2 rotate around the rotation axis at the center of the partition plate 6 at the same time, the two blocking pieces 2 can simultaneously open or block the two through holes 60.

[0065] The area of the blocking piece 2 can be equal to or slightly larger than the area of the through hole 60. When the blocking piece 2 rotates to the position coinciding with the through hole 60, the blocking piece 2 blocks the through hole 60, which can effectively prevent the residual slag from passing through the through hole 60; when the blocking piece 2 rotates to the position not coinciding with the through hole 60, the through hole 60 is opened and connects the slag collecting cavity 10 and the slag crushing cavity 11.

[0066] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The filter container 1 includes a slag collecting cylinder 100 and a slag crushing cylinder 110 which are connected with each other, the internal space of the slag collecting cylinder 100 is the slag collecting cavity 10, and the internal space of the slag crushing cylinder 110 is the slag crushing cavity 11; the cylinder wall of the slag collecting cylinder 100 is provided with a plurality of filter holes to form a filter screen.

[0067] When the dishwasher completes the initial washing work and food residues are collected in the residue collection cavity 10 by the action of the washing water flow, the washing water can be discharged to the outside of the residue collection cylinder 100 through the filter holes of the cylinder wall of the residue collection cylinder 100, and then can flow into the water cup 4 of the dishwasher outside the filter container 1, and then be discharged to the outside through the drainage system connected below the water cup 4. However, in the process of discharging the washing water to the outside of the residue collection cylinder 100, the residues will be intercepted by the filter mesh cylinder wall of the residue collection cylinder 100 and remain in the residue collection cavity 10, so that the residue collection cylinder 100 with the filter mesh cylinder wall can preliminarily separate the washing water and the residues, thereby realizing the collection of the residues.

[0068] Since the residue crushing process is carried out in the residue crushing cavity 11 by the residue crushing assembly 3, in order to prevent the fine residues in the crushing process from splashing to the outside of the residue crushing cylinder 110, the cylinder wall of the residue crushing cylinder 110 is preferably not provided with any perforation at this time, and the residue crushing cylinder 110 can prevent the residue-water mixture in the residue crushing cavity 11 from splashing out to contaminate the tableware.

[0069] When the residue crushing cylinder 110 adopts a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends, the opening at one end of the residue crushing cylinder 110 can be closed by the cooperation of the partition plate 6 and the blocking piece 2, and the opening at the other end of the residue crushing cylinder 110 needs to be provided with a cover 7 for closing, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 .

[0070] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the residue treatment filter provided in the embodiment further comprises a first driving assembly 8, the blocking piece 2 is connected with the first driving assembly 8, and the first driving assembly 8 is used to drive the blocking piece 2 to rotate in the filter container 1.

[0071] The first driving assembly 8 can adopt a rotary driver such as a wire motor or a motor, the first driving assembly 8 is used to drive the blocking piece 2 to rotate, so that the blocking piece 2 can communicate or isolate the residue collection cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11, and the first driving assembly 8 can improve the working efficiency of the residue treatment filter.

[0072] When the residue treatment filter provided in the embodiment further comprises the first driving assembly 8, the first driving assembly 8 can also be connected with a controller equipped in the dishwasher, the controller is used to control the start-stop time, rotation direction and rotation time of the first driving assembly 8, so as to control the rotation start-stop time, rotation direction and rotation angle of the blocking piece 2, realize the automatic rotation process of the blocking piece 2, and make the blocking piece 2 be able to rotate in order at appropriate time.

[0073] In this embodiment, the actuating member 5 can also be connected to the first driving component 8. In this case, the first driving component 8 is used to drive the actuating member 5 to rotate when the driving blocking member 2 rotates and connects the slag collection chamber 10 and the crushing chamber 11, so that the actuating member 5 and the blocking member 2 rotate at the same time. This allows the blocking member 2 to open the opening 60 on the partition plate 6, while the actuating member 5 pushes the residue in the slag collection chamber 10 to the opening 60, which is conducive to the complete entry of the residue in the slag collection chamber 10 into the crushing chamber 11 and prevents the residue from being left in the slag collection chamber 10.

[0074] In order to prevent the actuating element 5 from obstructing the process of the residue entering the slag collection chamber 10, the actuating element 5 is preferably in the form of a sheet in this embodiment.

[0075] Furthermore, the actuating member 5 can be arranged parallel to the depth direction of the slag collection chamber 10. In order to improve the pushing effect of the actuating member 5 on the residue and make it easier for the residue to reach the opening 60 on the partition plate 6, in this embodiment, the actuating member 5 is preferably arranged at an angle relative to the depth direction of the slag collection chamber 10, and from the side of the actuating member 5 close to the partition plate 6 to the side away from the partition plate 6, the actuating member 5 is inclined toward the direction of rotation.

[0076] It should be noted that when both the actuating element 5 and the blocking element 2 are connected to the first driving assembly 8, to prevent the actuating element 5 from simultaneously passing through the opening 60 during the rotation of the blocking element 2 and thus failing to push the residue through the opening 60, the projections of the actuating element 5 and the blocking element 2 on the partition plate 6 must be staggered along the rotation direction of the blocking element 2. Specifically, with the center of the partition plate 6 as the vertex of the angle, the angle between the projections of the actuating element 5 and the blocking element 2 on the partition plate 6 must not be less than the angle between the two furthest points of the opening 60 in the rotation direction of the blocking element 2.

[0077] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the residue treatment filter provided in this embodiment also includes an inner drive shaft 80; the first drive assembly 8 is disposed outside the filter container 1, and the output end of the first drive assembly 8 is connected to the blocking member 2 through the inner drive shaft 80.

[0078] One end of the inner rotating shaft needs to extend into the filter container 1 so that the inner drive shaft 80 can be connected to the blocking member 2, and the other end of the inner rotating shaft needs to extend out of the filter container 1 so that the output end of the first drive assembly 8 can be connected to the inner drive shaft 80.

[0079] Since the first drive component 8 would occupy the internal space of the filter container 1 if it is directly connected to the blocking component 2, this embodiment preferably connects the first drive component 8 and the blocking component 2 through an internal drive shaft 80. In this case, the first drive component 8 can be located outside the filter container 1, which not only does not occupy the internal space of the filter container 1, but also protects the first drive component 8.

[0080] When the knob 5 is also connected with the first driving assembly 8, the knob 5 can also be connected with the first driving assembly 8 through the inner transmission shaft 80. Specifically, the end of the inner transmission shaft 80 located in the filter container 1 penetrates into the residue collection cavity 10 through the residue crushing cavity 11 and the partition plate 6, and is connected with the knob 5 in the residue collection cavity 10. At this time, the blocking piece 2 is connected with the shaft body of the inner transmission shaft 80 located in the residue crushing cavity 11.

[0081] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the residue treatment filter provided by the embodiment further comprises a second driving assembly 9, the second driving assembly 9 is connected with the residue crushing assembly 3, and the second driving assembly 9 is used to drive the residue crushing assembly 3 to rotate in the residue crushing cavity 11 to crush the residue in the residue crushing cavity 11.

[0082] The second driving assembly 9 can also adopt a rotary driver such as a wire motor or a motor. The second driving assembly 9 is used to drive the residue crushing assembly 3 to rotate, so that the residue crushing assembly 3 can crush the residue in the residue crushing cavity 11. The second driving assembly 9 can also improve the working efficiency of the residue treatment filter.

[0083] When the residue treatment filter provided by the embodiment further comprises the second driving assembly 9, the second driving assembly 9 can also be connected with a controller provided by the dish washing machine. The controller is used to control the start-stop time and rotation time of the second driving assembly 9, so as to control the start-stop time and working time of the residue crushing assembly 3, realize the automatic rotation process of the residue crushing assembly 3, and make the residue crushing assembly 3 work in order at appropriate time.

[0084] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the residue treatment filter provided by the embodiment further comprises an outer transmission shaft 90; the second driving assembly 9 is arranged outside the filter container 1, and the second driving assembly 9 is connected with one end of the outer transmission shaft 90. The other end of the outer transmission shaft 90 penetrates into the residue crushing cavity 11 and is connected with the residue crushing assembly 3.

[0085] Since the second driving assembly 9 is directly connected with the residue crushing assembly 3, the second driving assembly 9 will occupy the internal space of the filter container 1. Therefore, the second driving assembly 9 is preferably connected with the residue crushing assembly 3 through the outer transmission shaft 90 in the embodiment. At this time, the second driving assembly 9 can be arranged outside the filter container 1, which not only does not occupy the internal space of the filter container 1, but also protects the second driving assembly 9.

[0086] In order to further reduce the occupation of the internal space of the filter container 1, the outer transmission shaft 90 is preferably tubular, and the outer transmission shaft 90 is sleeved outside the inner transmission shaft 80.

[0087] AsFigure 4 As shown, the end of the inner transmission shaft 80 connected with the first driving assembly 8 extends out of the outer transmission shaft 90, and the end of the inner transmission shaft 80 is directly connected with the output end of the first driving assembly 8. At this time, in order to realize the transmission process between the outer transmission shaft 90 and the second driving assembly 9, a gear structure 91 can be arranged between the output end of the second driving assembly 9 and the outer transmission shaft 90. Figure 4 As shown, the end of the inner transmission shaft 80 connected with the first driving assembly 8 extends out of the outer transmission shaft 90, and the end of the inner transmission shaft 80 is directly connected with the output end of the first driving assembly 8. At this time, in order to realize the transmission process between the outer transmission shaft 90 and the second driving assembly 9, a gear structure 91 can be arranged between the output end of the second driving assembly 9 and the outer transmission shaft 90.

[0088] Specifically, the gear structure 91 includes a driving wheel 910 and a driven wheel 911. The driven wheel 911 is sleeved and fixed on the outer transmission shaft 90, and the driving wheel 910 is fixed on the output end of the second driving assembly 9 and is in meshing relationship with the driven wheel 911.

[0089] As shown, the end of the inner transmission shaft 80 connected with the first driving assembly 8 extends out of the outer transmission shaft 90, and the end of the inner transmission shaft 80 is directly connected with the output end of the first driving assembly 8. At this time, in order to realize the transmission process between the outer transmission shaft 90 and the second driving assembly 9, a gear structure 91 can be arranged between the output end of the second driving assembly 9 and the outer transmission shaft 90. Figure 4 As shown, the residue crushing assembly 3 includes a cutting knife 30. The cutting knife 30 includes a plurality of blades, and the plurality of blades are distributed in a radial manner.

[0090] The radial center of the plurality of blades distributed in a radial manner is located on the shaft body of the outer transmission shaft 90 located in the residue crushing cavity 11. When the outer transmission shaft 90 is driven to rotate by the second driving assembly 9, the plurality of blades can rotate with the rotation of the outer transmission shaft 90, so as to crush the residues in the residue crushing cavity 11.

[0091] In order to improve the crushing efficiency of the residue crushing assembly 3, the cutting knife 30 can be a plurality of cutting knives 30, and the plurality of cutting knives 30 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the outer transmission shaft 90.

[0092] Further, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the residue crushing assembly 3 further includes a spiral residue discharging knife 31. The residue discharging knife 31 is arranged on the side of the cutting knife 30 away from the blocking piece 2, and the residue discharging knife 31 spirally extends along the depth direction of the filter container 1.

[0093] The middle part of the spiral residue discharging knife 31 is fixed on the shaft body of the outer transmission shaft 90 located in the residue crushing cavity 11. When the outer transmission shaft 90 is driven to rotate by the second driving assembly 9, the residue discharging knife 31 can also rotate with the rotation of the outer transmission shaft 90, so as to crush the residues in the residue crushing cavity 11.

[0094] It should be noted that the spiral residue discharging knife 31 not only can be used to assist the cutting knife 30 to crush the residues, but also can use its own spiral structure to push the crushed residues to the outlet 13 of the filter container 1, so that the crushed residues can be orderly discharged.

[0095] As shown, the residue crushing assembly 3 includes a cutting knife 30. The cutting knife 30 includes a plurality of blades, and the plurality of blades are distributed in a radial manner. Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the filter container 1 is in a cylindrical shape, and the filter container 1 has an inlet 12 at the opening of the cylinder. An annular filter cover 14 is arranged at the opening of the cylinder of the filter container 1 and extends along the circumference of the filter cover 14. The filter cover 14 is perpendicular to the central axis of the filter container 1 and is located outside the opening of the filter container 1.

[0096] As shown, the filter cover 14 is provided with a plurality of perforations so that the filter cover 14 is in a filtering state. When the filter container 1 is installed in the water cup 4 on the inner tank base of the dishwasher, the filter cover 14 at the opening of the filter container 1 abuts against the opening of the water cup 4, so that food residues in the inner tank of the dishwasher cannot enter the gap between the filter container 1 and the water cup 4.

[0097] The embodiment also provides a dishwasher comprising the residue treatment filter, and the dishwasher and the residue treatment filter can solve the same technical problems and achieve the same technical effects, which will not be described here.

[0098] As shown, Figure 7 The embodiment also provides a residue treatment method applied to the dishwasher, and the residue treatment method comprises the following steps.

[0099] Step S1: After the first drainage program of the dishwasher ends, the blocking piece 2 is connected to the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11, and the residues in the residue collecting cavity 10 enter the residue crushing cavity 11.

[0100] Step S2: The blocking piece 2 is isolated from the residue collecting cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11.

[0101] Step S3: The residue crushing assembly 3 is driven to rotate to crush the residues in the residue crushing cavity 11.

[0102] After the first drainage program of the dishwasher ends, a large amount of residues will accumulate in the residue collecting cavity 10, and at this time, step S1 can be performed. In step S1, the residues in the residue collecting cavity 10 can enter the residue crushing cavity 11 under the action of gravity or external force.

[0103] After step S1 ends, step S2 is performed, and the purpose of step S2 is to prevent the fine residues splashed in step S3 from returning to the inner tank of the dishwasher and contaminating the tableware.

[0104] After step S2 is completed, step S3 is performed. It should be noted that the crushed residues in step S3 can be discharged to the drainage system of the dishwasher through the outlet 13 of the filter container 1 connected to the residue crushing cavity 11, and the user does not need to manually clean the residues, which can effectively improve the user experience.

[0105] The residue treatment method provided by the embodiment can further comprise step S0 performed before step S1.

[0106] Step S0: Isolate the residue collection cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11 by the blocking piece 2 before the residue enters the residue collection cavity 10 through the inlet 12 of the residue treatment filter.

[0107] The first drainage program of the dishwasher is performed after the washing program in the washing process of the dishwasher, and after the dishwasher completes the washing program, food residues will gradually fall off the tableware and gather at the bottom of the dishwasher with the flow of washing water. When the washing water is drained, that is, when the dishwasher performs the first drainage program, the food residues will gather in the residue collection cavity 10 of the filter container 1 with the action of the water flow.

[0108] Step S0 in the residue treatment method provided by the embodiment needs to be performed in the washing program in the washing process of the dishwasher, so as to prevent the residues from flowing into the residue crushing cavity 11 from the communication between the residue collection cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11.

[0109] As shown in Figure 7 The residue treatment method provided by the embodiment can also include a step after the step S3, that is, a step S4 after driving the residue crushing assembly 3 to rotate to crush the residues in the residue crushing cavity 11:

[0110] Step S4: Make the blocking piece 2 communicate the residue collection cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11, and make the washing water enter the residue collection cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11 in turn.

[0111] After the first drainage program of the dishwasher ends, the rinsing program will be entered, and in the rinsing program, washing water will enter the inner tank of the dishwasher again. At this time, step S4 can be performed to make the washing water enter the residue collection cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11, so as to flush the fine residues attached to the inside of the residue crushing cavity 11 and the residue crushing assembly 3, and make the fine residues in the residue crushing cavity 11 flow out through the outlet 13 with the water flow, completing the cleaning of the filter container 1 and the residue crushing assembly 3.

[0112] As can be seen, the residue treatment method provided by the embodiment can also isolate the residue collection cavity 10 and the residue crushing cavity 11 after the residues in the residue collection cavity 10 enter the residue crushing cavity 11 through the blocking piece 2, so that the fine residues generated by the residue crushing assembly 3 in the residue crushing cavity 11 when working will not splash out of the residue crushing cavity 11 to pollute the tableware. The residue treatment method can also achieve residue collection and crushing while avoiding the fine residues in the crushing process from splashing and polluting the tableware, and can use washing water to clean the crushed residues, without consuming extra water, without the need for the user to manually clean the residues in the filter container 1, and without the problem of secondary pollution of the tableware, greatly improving the user experience.
