Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of dishwashers, in particular to a cleaning machine and an exhaust method. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, front-opening dishwashers are widely used in families.

[0003] In order to prevent failure alarms caused by slight water overflow, the bottom cover of the dishwasher is usually provided with a water overflow storage structure (about several hundred milliliters) with a certain capacity. Water droplets formed by opening the door, taking and placing tableware, and steam condensation will slide along the machine body and collect on the bottom cover, and a certain amount of water will be collected in the water storage groove. This part of the stored water will make the internal environment of the base more humid, and the temperature change of the bottom heating plate, motor and other components will also cause water vapor to adhere and condense on various components, causing certain safety hazards (especially electrical components such as wiring harnesses and connectors). The stored water in the bottom cover of the existing product is only discharged by natural evaporation, which is relatively slow.

[0004] In order to prevent odors, the existing built-in dishwasher usually uses a PTC hot air drying system to circulate air into the cavity and exhaust. After cleaning, the circulating hot air every 2-3 hours can effectively remove odors and keep the cavity dry without opening the door. This part of the hot air has low humidity and will be discharged through the original air duct system, which causes a certain waste of energy. SUMMARY

[0005] The first technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a cleaning machine that can directly discharge high-humidity hot air to reduce the water storage capacity of the bottom cover, recycle the heat of low-humidity hot air for drying the bottom cover, thereby eliminating the problem of moisture in the bottom cover area and improving the energy utilization rate.

[0006] The second technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide an exhaust method for the above-mentioned cleaning machine.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve at least one of the above technical problems is:

[0014] Further preferably, the upper surface of the first guide side wall is provided with a first guide rib extending in the direction of fluid flow. The lower surface of the second guide side wall is provided with a second guide rib extending in the direction of fluid flow.

The first section extends obliquely in the longitudinal direction, and the exhaust port is located at the upper end of the first section.

The baffle is rotatably arranged in the shunt area and cooperates with the inner wall of the shunt area to shunt. The above structure facilitates gas shunting.

[0016] Preferably, the baffle comprises a first baffle arm and a second baffle arm.

The tip of the V-shaped structure is rotatably connected between the bottom of the shunt area and the first exhaust port and the second exhaust port.

[0017] In the state that the baffle is rotated to the state that the first baffle arm is below the left side wall of the flow separation area and the second baffle arm is in contact with the left side wall of the flow separation area, the air exhaust channel is in communication with the second air exhaust port and the first air exhaust port is closed by the first baffle arm; in the state that the baffle is rotated to the state that the second baffle arm is below the right side wall of the flow separation area and the first baffle arm is in contact with the right side wall of the flow separation area, the air exhaust channel is in communication with the first air exhaust port and the second air exhaust port is closed by the second baffle arm.

[0018] In order to facilitate operation, the tip of the V-shaped structure is connected to the door body through a rotating shaft, and a motor capable of driving rotation in forward and reverse directions is arranged in the door body.

[0019] Preferably, a first water storage tank is formed in the middle of the base, and a water level monitoring and alarming device is arranged in the first water storage tank; a part of the inner bottom wall of the base forms a flow guide surface gradually downwardly inclined from the edge to the first water storage tank; a second water storage tank in communication with the first water storage tank is arranged on the base; the lower end of the second exhaust tail pipe is arranged corresponding to the first water storage tank; and an air exhaust port corresponding to the second water storage tank is formed in the front side of the side wall of the base. The above structure facilitates drying of the high-temperature and low-humidity air discharged to the base first in the first water storage tank, drying of the accumulated water in the second water storage tank through the first water storage tank, and finally discharge of the air through the air exhaust port, so that the space in the base is kept dry.

[0020] An exhaust method using the cleaning machine, comprising the following steps:

[0021] (1) After the cleaning machine is cleaned, high-humidity air exists in the washing cavity, the baffle is rotated to the state that the second baffle arm is below the right side wall of the flow separation area and the first baffle arm is in contact with the right side wall of the flow separation area, at this time, the air exhaust channel is in communication with the first air exhaust port and the second air exhaust port is closed by the second baffle arm;

[0022] The hot air assembly blows the heated air into the washing cavity, and the fan operates to suck out the high-humidity air in the washing cavity and discharge the air through the first air exhaust port and the first exhaust tail pipe;

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present application are that when the washing is just finished and the washing cavity contains high humidity gas, the baffle opens the first exhaust port and closes the second exhaust port, the high humidity gas is discharged from the first exhaust port without being sent to the bottom disc, which can reduce the water storage capacity of the bottom disc; in the dish storage stage, the humidity of the hot air used for drying the washing cavity is low, the baffle closes the first exhaust port and opens the second exhaust port, and the low humidity hot air is sent to the bottom disc to dry the bottom disc, which not only recovers and utilizes the heat of the low humidity hot air, improves the energy utilization rate, but also eliminates the problem of dampness in the bottom disc area.

The lower end of the first baffle arm 41 is connected to the lower end of the second baffle arm 42, and the upper end of the first baffle arm 41 gradually separates from the upper end of the second baffle arm 42 to form a V-shaped structure. The tip of the V-shaped structure is rotatably connected between the bottom of the flow separation area 315 and the first exhaust port 32 and the second exhaust port 33.

[0043] When the baffle 4 is rotated to the state that the first baffle arm 41 is located below the left side wall of the flow separation area 315 and the second baffle arm 42 is in contact with the left side wall of the flow separation area 315, the air exhaust channel 31 is in communication with the second air exhaust port 33 and the first air exhaust port 32 is closed by the first baffle arm 41.

[0048] The hot air assembly blows the heated air into the washing cavity, the fan 314 operates to suck out the high-humidity air in the washing cavity and discharge the air through the first air exhaust port 32 and the first air exhaust tail pipe 1;

[0049] The condensed water formed during the downward conveying of the high-humidity air through the first exhaust tail pipe 1 is stored in the water storage tank 12, and other steam is discharged through the moisture discharge port 13, and the accumulated water temporarily stored in the water storage tank 12 is continuously evaporated and dried under the high temperature of the steam, so that the water storage tank 12 does not need to discharge accumulated water; since the condensed water is small (usually <5 mL, generally only a few drops) during the drying process, the opening action can automatically gather the condensed water in the water storage tank 12 at the lowest position, and the condensed water will not drip with the opening;

[0050] (2) In the dish storage state, the low-humidity air in the washing cavity, the baffle 4 is rotated to the first blocking arm 41 below the left side wall of the shunt area 315, and the second blocking arm 42 is connected with the left side wall of the shunt area 315, at this time, the exhaust passage 31 is connected with the second exhaust port 33, and the first exhaust port 31 is closed by the first blocking arm 41;

8. The cleaning machine according to claim 7, characterized in that: The tip of the V-shaped structure is connected to the door body (52) via a pivot (43), and the door body (52) is also equipped with a motor that can drive the rotation to rotate forward and backward.

9. The cleaning machine according to any one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that: The chassis (2) has a first water storage tank (21) in the middle, and a water level monitoring and alarm device is installed in the first water storage tank (21). A guide surface (23) that gradually slopes downward from the edge to the first water storage tank (21) is formed on a part of the inner bottom wall of the chassis (2). The chassis (2) is also provided with a second water storage tank (22) that is connected to the first water storage tank (21). The lower end of the second exhaust tailpipe (6) is arranged corresponding to the first water storage tank (21). The front side of the side wall of the chassis (2) has an exhaust port (24) corresponding to the second water storage tank (22).

10. A method for venting exhaust, characterized in that... The cleaning machine according to claim 7 includes the following steps: (1) After the cleaning machine finishes cleaning, there is high humidity air in the washing chamber. Rotate the baffle (4) until the second baffle (42) is below the right side wall of the diversion area (315) and the first baffle (41) is connected to the right side wall of the diversion area (315). At this time, the exhaust channel (31) is connected to the first exhaust port (32) and the second exhaust port (33) is closed by the second baffle (42). The hot air assembly blows heated air into the washing chamber, and the fan (314) runs to draw out the high humidity air in the washing chamber and discharge it through the first exhaust port (32) and the first exhaust tail pipe (1). During the process of high humidity air being transported downward through the first exhaust tailpipe (1), the condensate formed is stored in the water storage tank (12), and other steam is discharged through the exhaust port. The water temporarily stored in the water storage tank (12) is continuously evaporated and dried under the high temperature of the steam, so the water storage tank (12) does not need to be drained. (2) When the tableware is stored, the washing chamber contains low humidity air. Rotate the baffle (4) until the first baffle (41) is below the left side wall of the diversion area (315) and the second baffle (42) is connected to the left side wall of the diversion area (315). At this time, the exhaust channel (31) is connected to the second exhaust port (33) and the first exhaust port (32) is closed by the first baffle (41). The hot air assembly intermittently blows heated air into the washing chamber. The fan (314) runs, sucking out the low-humidity, high-temperature air in the washing chamber and discharging it through the second exhaust port (33) and the second exhaust tail pipe (6) to the chassis (2). The low-humidity, high-temperature air dries the water accumulated in the chassis (2) and keeps the chassis (2) and the installation space (20) dry.
