[0038] The present invention provides a dishwasher 1000, which can facilitate users to add regeneration salt and improve the user experience.
[0039] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to the dishwasher 1000 in the embodiment of the present invention, the dishwasher 1000 may include a body 200 and a salt chamber assembly 100 .
[0041] Specifically, the body 200 may have a washing chamber 210, and dishes may be placed in the washing chamber 210 for washing; the salt chamber assembly 100 is mainly used for the delivery of salt water, for example, by adding regeneration salt in the salt chamber assembly 100 and dissolving it in water to form salt water, the salt water can be used to regenerate the resin in the resin chamber 500.
[0042] In general, the washing chamber 210 of the dishwasher 1000 is made of metal, and the salt chamber assembly 100 can be set on the body 200. At this time, the salt water generated by the salt chamber assembly 100 is corrosive to the metal. Therefore, the salt chamber assembly 100 can be located outside the washing chamber 210 to reduce the corrosion of the washing chamber 210 by the salt water in the salt chamber assembly 100; and at least a part of the salt chamber assembly 100 can be located above the washing chamber 210. This arrangement can facilitate users to add regeneration salt and improve users' experience. In other words, when adding regeneration salt, users do not need to bend over, or reduce the bending angle, which is convenient for users to add regeneration salt.
[0043] Therefore, according to the dishwasher 1000 in the embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the salt chamber assembly 100 can be disposed above the washing chamber 210 to facilitate the user to add regeneration salt, thereby improving the user's usage experience.
[0044] In addition, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the dishwasher 1000 may further include a resin chamber 500, which may be connected to the internal space of the salt chamber assembly 100 and the body 200 respectively. The salt chamber assembly 100 may regenerate the resin in the resin chamber 500 by adding salt water, thereby reducing the cost of replacing the resin.
[0045] Among them, the internal space of the body 200 may have an inner tank and a water cup. The inner tank has the aforementioned washing chamber 210. The water cup is arranged below the inner tank and is connected to the washing chamber 210. The water cup can be used to quantitatively store liquid for washing tableware in the washing chamber 210; it can also be used to receive sewage to discharge the sewage to the outside of the dishwasher 1000.
[0046] When using the dishwasher 1000, water needs to be introduced into the dishwasher 1000. The water inside the dishwasher 1000 needs to pass through the resin chamber 500. The resin chamber 500 can soften the water, which can facilitate the dissolution of the detergent in the dishwasher 1000 in the water to achieve a better washing effect and reduce the generation of scale inside the dishwasher 1000. However, with the long-term use of the resin chamber 500, more hard ions are attached to the resin in the resin chamber 500, which affects the softening effect of the resin chamber 500. Therefore, the salt chamber assembly 100 can be connected to the resin chamber 500. The user can add regeneration salt to the salt chamber assembly 100 to dissolve the regeneration salt in water to form brine. The brine can be discharged from the salt chamber assembly 100 to the resin chamber 500 to regenerate the resin, thereby reducing the replacement cost of the resin.
[0047] In addition, the resin chamber 500 can be connected to a water cup; after the brine in the resin chamber 500 regenerates the resin, it can be discharged to the water cup, and the brine can be discharged to the outside of the dishwasher 1000 through the water cup; or, the resin chamber 500 can be connected to the inner tank to discharge the softened water to the washing chamber 210, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the dishes in the washing chamber 210; but this should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the dishwasher 1000 further includes a water channel 300, which may be disposed on the machine body 200 and respectively connected to the salt chamber assembly 100 and the resin chamber 500. Through the water channel 300, the fluid may be guided to the salt chamber assembly 100, so that water or the like may enter the salt chamber assembly 100 to dissolve the regeneration salt in the salt chamber assembly 100, and the salt water flowing through the salt chamber assembly 100 may be introduced into the resin chamber 500 through the water channel 300, thereby realizing the regeneration of the resin in the resin chamber 500. In other words, by means of dissolution and flushing of the fluid, the dissolution efficiency of the regeneration salt in the salt chamber assembly 100 may be improved, thereby improving the regeneration efficiency of the resin chamber 500 and facilitating the operation of the dishwasher 100.
[0049] Further, the water channel 300 can be arranged on the side wall of the body 200, and the top of the water channel 300 is connected to the salt chamber assembly 100, that is, the top of the water channel 300 is provided with a salt chamber assembly interface of the salt chamber assembly 100, and the water channel 300 can be connected to the salt chamber assembly 100 through the interface, wherein the interface and the salt chamber assembly 100 can be connected by a hose. In addition, the water channel 300 can be integrated into a plate-like shape stacked on the side wall of the body 200 to improve the internal space utilization of the dishwasher 1000.
[0050] Reference Figure 1 and 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the water channel 300 can be integrated with the resin chamber 500 to improve the integration of the dishwasher 1000, wherein the upper end of the water channel 300 is provided with a salt chamber assembly interface, and the lower end is connected to the resin chamber 500. This arrangement can facilitate the water channel 300 to guide the salt water in the salt chamber assembly 100 to flow to the resin chamber 500. In detail, the upper end of the water channel 300 is connected to the salt chamber assembly 100 through the salt chamber assembly interface, and the lower end is connected to the resin chamber 500. When guiding the salt water from the salt chamber assembly 100 to the resin chamber 500, the salt water can be affected by gravity and spontaneously flow to the resin chamber 500 located at the lower end of the water channel 300 to improve the flow efficiency of the salt water; and the resin chamber 500 located at the lower end of the water channel 300 can be more easily filled with salt water, which can improve the regeneration effect of the resin in the resin chamber 500.
[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of the present invention, the resin chamber 500 may be disposed on the side or bottom of the dishwasher 1000 and connected to the salt chamber assembly 100 through a pipeline to improve the space utilization of the dishwasher 1000; it can be understood that the salt chamber assembly 100 is disposed above the body 200, and the resin chamber 500 may be disposed on the side or bottom of the dishwasher 1000, that is, the salt chamber assembly 100 and the resin chamber 500 may be evenly disposed on different parts of the body 200, thereby improving the space utilization of the dishwasher 1000 and reducing the volume of the dishwasher 1000.
[0052] In addition, in actual application, in order to prevent water leakage from affecting the operation of the dishwasher 1000, an external water pipe is generally connected to the side or bottom of the dishwasher 1000. In the past, water flowed into the dishwasher 1000. At this time, the resin cavity 500 can be set at the side or bottom of the dishwasher 1000 to be close to the water inlet of the dishwasher 1000, so as to soften the water entering the dishwasher 1000 and facilitate subsequent washing work.
[0053] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the salt chamber assembly 100 may include a shell and a salt chamber module. The front end of the shell may be provided with a first opening 220, and the salt chamber module may be inserted into the first opening 220 in a push-pull manner along the front-to-back direction. That is, the salt chamber module may be inserted into the shell from the first opening 220 and may be pulled out along the front-to-back direction. The top of the salt chamber module may have a salt adding port 123, and the salt chamber module may be pulled out from the first opening 220 to add salt through the salt adding port 123. This arrangement makes it convenient for users to add regeneration salt to the salt chamber assembly 100.
[0054] During operation, the user can drive the salt chamber module to move in the front-to-back direction, pull out the salt chamber module from the first opening 220 at the front end of the shell, and then add regeneration salt to the salt chamber module through the salt adding port 123 at the top of the salt chamber module. The salt chamber module can then be inserted into the shell from the first opening 220 to complete the addition of regeneration salt. In short, the salt chamber module can be a drawer-type structure, which can be pulled out and inserted into the shell in the front-to-back direction through the first opening 220, making it convenient for users to add regeneration salt.
[0055] Among them, the salt adding port 123 is set at the top of the salt chamber module. In other words, when adding regeneration salt, the user does not need to bend over or reduce the degree of bending over for the user, which is convenient for the user to add regeneration salt and improves the user's experience.
[0056] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the salt chamber assembly 100 may have a connection port 112, and the connection port 112 is configured to supply water to the salt chamber assembly 100 and discharge the salt water in the salt chamber assembly 100, so as to achieve resin regeneration.
[0057] In detail, the connection port 112 of the salt chamber assembly 100 can be connected to the resin chamber 500 through a pipeline, wherein when water is introduced into the dishwasher 1000, the water flow can first pass through the resin chamber 500, and after being softened by the resin chamber 500, it can enter the salt chamber assembly 100 through the connection port 112; in the salt chamber assembly 100, the regeneration salt in the salt chamber assembly 100 can be dissolved in water to form salt water, and then can flow back to the resin chamber 500 through the connection port 112 again to regenerate the resin in the resin chamber 500. Moreover, the salt chamber assembly 100 can realize water supply and drainage of the salt chamber assembly 100 through a single connection port 112, which simplifies the structure of the salt chamber assembly 100 and reduces the manufacturing cost of the salt chamber assembly 100.
[0058] In some specific examples, a valve may be provided at the connection port 112. When the salt chamber assembly 100 is installed on the body 200, the valve of the connection port 112 may be abutted against the structure of the body 200 to open the valve, thereby allowing the salt chamber assembly 100 to communicate with the resin chamber 500. When the salt chamber assembly 100 is removed from the body 200, the valve of the connection port 112 may close the salt chamber assembly 100 to prevent external contaminants from entering the interior of the salt chamber assembly 100.
[0059] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the salt chamber assembly 100 may further include an overflow port 113. The overflow port 113 may be connected to the internal space of the salt chamber assembly 100 and connected to the washing chamber 210. In this way, the damage of the salt chamber assembly 100 may be prevented through the overflow port 113, thereby improving the safety of the dishwasher 1000.
[0060] In combination with the above-mentioned embodiment, the internal space of the body 200 may have an inner container and a water cup.
[0061] When the dishwasher 1000 is working, water can be supplied to the internal space of the salt chamber assembly 100 through the connection port 112, so that the regenerated salt in the salt chamber assembly 100 is dissolved in the water, and when the amount of water in the salt chamber assembly 100 exceeds a predetermined value, the water exceeding the predetermined portion can flow out through the overflow port 113 and flow into the washing chamber 210 of the inner tank, and under the action of gravity, flow to the water cup in the washing chamber 210 to avoid damage to the salt chamber assembly 100; or, in combination with the aforementioned embodiment, it can also flow directly to the water cup to avoid corrosion of the metal inner tank by salt water.
[0062] Reference Figures 3 to 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the salt chamber assembly 100 further includes a residual amount detection component, which is configured to detect the residual amount of salt in the salt chamber assembly 100 to facilitate the user to add regenerated salt into the salt chamber assembly 100 .
[0063] The remaining amount detection component can detect the remaining amount of salt in the salt chamber assembly 100 in a variety of ways, for example, the remaining amount of salt in the salt chamber assembly 100 can be detected by detecting density; or by detecting weight. The salt chamber assembly 100 can also include a water level detection component, which can be configured to detect the water level in the salt chamber assembly 100, which can be described in conjunction with the following embodiments.
[0064] Example 1
[0065] The remaining amount detection component may include a density detection structure, which may cooperate with the salt storage chamber 121 to detect the fluid density in the salt dissolving chamber 111, thereby detecting the salt remaining amount in the salt storage chamber 121, making it convenient for users to add regenerated salt according to needs, thereby improving user convenience.
[0066] In detail, according to the regeneration demand of the resin in the resin chamber 500, a salt residue within a predetermined range can be set in the salt storage chamber 121; when the resin in the dishwasher 1000 is regenerated, the regeneration salt in the salt storage chamber 121 can be dissolved in water, and pass through the salt dissolving chamber 111 and flow to the resin chamber 500. At this time, the density detection structure can detect the fluid density in the salt dissolving chamber 111 to obtain the salt residue in the salt storage chamber 121. That is to say, when the fluid density in the salt dissolving chamber 111 is lower than the predetermined value, the salt residue in the salt storage chamber 121 is also lower than the predetermined amount, that is, the user needs to add regeneration salt again; when the fluid density in the salt dissolving chamber 111 is not lower than the predetermined value, the salt residue in the salt storage chamber 121 is also not lower than the predetermined amount, that is, there is no need to add regeneration salt, which can improve the convenience of using the dishwasher 1000 for users.
[0067] Example 2
[0068] The aforementioned salt chamber assembly 100 may include a main body 10 and a residual detection component.
[0069] Among them, the main body 10 may have a salt storage chamber 121, and the user can add regeneration salt (regeneration salt refers to industrial salt used for resin regeneration, etc.) into the salt storage chamber 121. The remaining detection component can be configured to detect the weight of the stored salt in the salt storage chamber 121 to obtain the remaining salt amount in the salt storage chamber 121, so that the user can add salt conveniently and improve the user's convenience.
[0070] In detail, the main body 10 may include a seat body 11 and a floating member, and the seat body 11 cooperates with the floating member to realize the detection of the remaining salt amount in the salt storage chamber 121; wherein the floating member can be floated on the seat body 11, and the salt storage chamber 121 is located on the upper side of the floating member, wherein the residual detection component is respectively connected to the seat body 11 and the floating member to detect the weight of the stored salt in the salt storage chamber 121, thereby obtaining the remaining salt amount in the salt storage chamber 121.
[0071] In other embodiments of the present invention, the residual detection component may also include a water level detection member, which may be configured to detect the liquid level in the salt dissolving chamber 111, and may ensure that a predetermined volume of water is introduced into the salt chamber assembly 100. In combination with the aforementioned embodiment 1, when the detection is performed in cooperation with the float 20, since fluids of different densities have different buoyancy, the float 20 may be driven to float to different positions, and fluids of different volumes may be displaced, so that the liquid levels of fluids of different densities are different, thereby detecting the fluid density in the salt dissolving chamber 111. For example, the salt residual in the salt storage chamber 121 is lower than a predetermined value, so that the fluid density in the salt dissolving chamber 111 is lower than a predetermined value, so that the float 20 is driven to float to a lower position, and more fluid cannot be displaced, so that the fluid level is higher than the predetermined value; that is, the water level detection member may cooperate with the position detection member to obtain the fluid density in the salt dissolving chamber 111, thereby detecting the salt residual in the salt storage chamber 121, and facilitating the user to add regeneration salt.
[0072] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the dishwasher 1000 may further include a delivery assembly 400.
