Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to an integrated cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the utilization rate of kitchen space, some integrated cleaning device structures have appeared in household kitchens. For example, the "Integrated Dishwasher" disclosed in the Chinese invention patent with patent application number CN202310352709.7 (publication number CN116369809A) mainly includes a sink, an overflow part and a dishwasher body. The integrated dishwasher also includes an exhaust fan, which is arranged in the exhaust duct; the exhaust duct includes a return water section arranged near the cleaning chamber, and the exhaust fan is arranged on the side of the return water section away from the cleaning chamber, and the return water section is used to guide the formed condensed water to flow back to the cleaning chamber. The exhaust fan can be arranged in the guide section, and the return water section can be arranged downwardly tilted or vertically. The hot and humid gas flows from bottom to top along the return water section, and condensed water is formed during the flow of the hot and humid gas. The condensed water flows downward along the return water section and flows back to the cleaning chamber to avoid leakage of condensed water.

[0003] Condensation water is easily generated when the air flows in the exhaust duct, so the exhaust duct of the patent has a water return section. However, as long as there is condensation water in the water return section of the patent, it will flow back into the dishwasher body, so that the condensation water flows into the dishwasher body intermittently, causing water marks on the side wall of the dishwasher body.

[0004] In addition, from Figure 1 It can be seen that the exhaust hole on the dishwasher body and the overflow hole of the sink in the patent are both located on the right side of the dishwasher body, so that a shorter exhaust duct can achieve the connection between the sink and the dishwasher body, less condensed water is generated, and even if there is condensed water, it is easier to flow back into the dishwasher body. However, for some integrated dishwashers, the exhaust hole on the dishwasher body and the overflow hole of the sink are located on different sides of the dishwasher body in the left-right direction, which requires the exhaust duct to be longer and have a bend to achieve the connection between the dishwasher body and the sink. However, when the exhaust duct is long and has a bend, it is difficult for the condensed water in it to flow back into the dishwasher body along the exhaust duct, which will cause the airflow to impact the condensed water during the flow process, and produce bubbling and abnormal noise in the exhaust duct. Summary of the invention

[0005] The first technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an integrated cleaning device for preventing condensed water from intermittently flowing into a dishwasher and causing water marks on the inner wall of the dishwasher in response to the current status of the prior art.

[0006] The second technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an integrated cleaning device for preventing condensed water from accumulating in the exhaust duct and generating noise in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned first technical problem is: an integrated cleaning device, comprising a water tank, wherein the water tank is provided with an air inlet hole connected to the interior thereof;

[0008] A dishwasher, wherein the dishwasher is provided with an exhaust hole connected to the interior thereof;

[0009] It is characterized by that it also includes

[0010] A condensed water box comprises a box body, the box body is provided with an air inlet, an air outlet and a water outlet hole, the air inlet is connected to the air outlet hole, the air outlet is connected to the air inlet hole, the water outlet hole is used for condensed water to flow out and is connected to the washing chamber of the dishwasher; the box body has a water accumulation area for a certain amount of condensed water to accumulate, and the water outlet hole is located on the flow path of the condensed water flowing out of the water accumulation area;

[0011] The baffle is movably arranged in the box body and is used to open or close the water accumulation area.

[0012] The air outlet and the water outlet are respectively located on both sides of the baffle, and the water accumulation area is located between the air outlet and the baffle. In order to enable the baffle to open and close the water accumulation area, the baffle can be driven to rotate by a driving mechanism such as a motor, but this involves many parts and high costs. Therefore, the upper end of the baffle is rotatably connected to the box body through a rotating shaft, and the lower end of the baffle is a free end. The baffle can be in a first position or a second position. When the baffle is in the first position, there is a gap between the lower end of the baffle and the bottom wall of the box body for condensed water to flow out of the water accumulation area, and the water accumulation area and the water outlet are connected through the gap; when the baffle is in the second position, the lower end of the baffle and the bottom wall of the box body are against each other, so that the water accumulation area and the water outlet are blocked. In this way, the baffle is in the second position under the action of gravity. When the condensed water in the water accumulation area reaches a certain amount, it will push the baffle to rotate so that the baffle is in the first position, that is, the baffle is opened and closed by its own gravity or water flow, and there is no need to set a driving mechanism for driving the baffle.

[0013] The air inlet is located above the air outlet. In order to guide the airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet, a guide rib inclined from top to bottom is provided in the box body, and the lower end of the guide rib faces the air outlet or extends into the air outlet.

[0014] In the above scheme, the air inlet and the water outlet are respectively located above and below the guide rib, the upper end of the baffle is in contact with or adjacent to the middle of the guide rib, and the area surrounded by the baffle and the guide rib facing the air outlet is the water accumulation area. The guide rib not only guides the airflow, but also cooperates with the baffle to separate the airflow, so that after the airflow enters from the air inlet, all or most of it flows to the air outlet, and does not flow directly from the water outlet back to the dishwasher without passing through the air outlet.

[0015] In order to ensure smooth airflow, the plane where the air outlet end face of the air inlet is located is taken as the reference plane, and the straight line intersecting the center line of the air inlet and parallel to the reference plane is taken as the reference line. The intersection point of the reference line and the center line of the air inlet is called the first point, and the point where the center line of the air outlet is located on the air outlet end face of the air outlet is called the second point. The angle between the line connecting the first point and the second point and the reference line is between 45° and 135°.

[0016] In order to make it easier for the condensed water to flow back into the box body, the air outlet is inclined from top to bottom toward the inside of the box body.

[0017] In order to facilitate the condensation of the air flow, at least one air-liquid separator is provided in the box body along the flow path of the air flow from the air inlet toward the air outlet.

[0018] In the above solution, there is one gas-liquid separator, or at least two along the flow path of the airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet.

[0019] The gas-liquid separator can have various structural forms, such as condensation ribs, semiconductors, etc. Preferably, the gas-liquid separator is a rotatable impeller. When the impeller rotates, the condensed water is thrown out to promote gas-liquid separation.

[0020] The impeller can be driven to rotate by a driving mechanism such as a motor, but this involves many parts and is costly, so the impeller includes a mounting shaft rotatably mounted on the box body and a plurality of blades arranged in sequence along the circumference of the mounting shaft. The two opposite walls of each blade are respectively the windward side and the leeward side, and there is always at least one blade whose windward side faces the flow direction of the airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet. In this way, when the airflow flows, it will drive the impeller to rotate.

[0021] In order to guide the airflow entering from the air inlet to the gas-liquid separator for gas-liquid separation, a guide plate is provided in the box body, one end of the guide plate is connected to the air inlet, and the other end is inclined to the guide ribs and forms a narrow opening between the guide ribs for gas to pass through, and the gas-liquid separator is located downstream of the narrow opening.

[0022] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned second technical problem is: the integrated cleaning device also includes an exhaust duct, the air inlet and the exhaust hole are located on different sides of the dishwasher in the left-right direction, the exhaust duct has at least one bending portion for connecting vertically and horizontally, and the box body is arranged at one of the bending portions and adjacent to the side where the air inlet is located.

[0023] In the above scheme, the exhaust pipe includes a first pipe body and a second pipe body, the first pipe body includes a transverse section extending horizontally and a vertical section extending vertically, the lower end of the vertical section is connected to the exhaust hole, the upper end of the vertical section is connected to the transverse section, the transverse section extends left and right and is located between the top wall of the dishwasher and the bottom wall of the sink, the second pipe body extends vertically, the lower end of the second pipe body is connected to the transverse section, the upper end is connected to the air inlet, a bending part is formed between the second pipe body and the transverse section, and the box body is arranged between the second pipe body and the transverse section. This structural form of the first pipe body allows the airflow to flow smoothly, minimizes the bending part of the exhaust pipe, and makes the exhaust pipe as short as possible.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention arranges a box body with a water accumulation area in which condensed water can be collected in the water accumulation area. When the condensed water reaches a certain amount, the baffle is opened to allow the condensed water to flow out from the water outlet. In this way, the condensed water will not flow back into the dishwasher intermittently, causing water marks on the inner wall of the dishwasher.

[0025] 2. Because the air inlet on the sink and the exhaust hole on the dishwasher are located on different sides of the central axis of the dishwasher in the left-right direction, the path of the exhaust duct needs to be longer and have bends to achieve the connection between the air inlet and the exhaust hole. Condensation water is most likely to accumulate at the bends. Therefore, the present application sets a box body at the bend to collect and discharge the condensed water to prevent the condensed water from accumulating in the exhaust duct and generating abnormal noise after being blown by the airflow. In addition, the box body of the present application is set at one of the bends and adjacent to the side where the air inlet is located. At this time, the airflow has been flowing in the exhaust duct for a period of time and is more likely to generate condensation water. Therefore, the box body is set here to easily collect condensation water. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the integrated cleaning device of this preferred embodiment includes a water tank 1, a dishwasher 2, a condensed water box and an exhaust pipe.

[0036] The dishwasher 2 is located directly below the sink 1. Of course, the sink 1 and the dishwasher 2 can also be arranged in other directions. The sink 1 is provided with an air inlet 11 connected to the inside thereof. In this embodiment, the air inlet 11 is arranged on the rear side wall of the sink 1, and the dishwasher 2 is provided with an exhaust hole connected to the inside thereof. The condensed water box includes a box body 3, and the box body 3 is provided with an air inlet 31, an air outlet 32 ​​and a water outlet 33. The air inlet 31 is connected to the exhaust hole, and the air outlet 32 ​​is connected to the air inlet 11. The box body 3 is formed by the cover plate 3a and the base 3b being matched.

[0037] A drying component capable of introducing hot air flow into the interior of the box 2 is provided on the side wall of the box 2. The drying component may adopt existing technology, such as the patent with announcement number CN220778307U of the applicant. During the drying process, the hot air flow in the box 2 needs to be discharged from the exhaust hole to maintain the air pressure balance in the box 2 and improve the drying efficiency. In the process of the hot air flow flowing from the box 2 to the water tank 1, the air flow will condense to form condensed water, so the box 3 is provided with a water outlet 33 for the condensed water to flow out. In addition, the air outlet 32 ​​is inclined from top to bottom toward the interior of the box 3, so that the condensed water formed downstream of the box 3 can flow back into the box 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, the water outlet 33 is connected to the washing chamber of the dishwasher 2. A water inlet hole can be set on the side wall of the dishwasher 2, and the water outlet 33 is directly connected to the corresponding water inlet hole. Alternatively, the water outlet 33 and the water inlet hole can be connected through a water pipe. The first method is selected in this embodiment.

[0039] If there is condensed water in the box body 3, it will flow from the water outlet 33 to the washing chamber of the dishwasher 2, and there will be water marks on the washing chamber. Therefore, the box body 3 has a water accumulation area 30 for a certain amount of condensed water to accumulate. The water outlet 33 is located on the flow path of the condensed water flowing out of the water accumulation area 30. The box body 3 is provided with a baffle 4 that can open or close the water accumulation area 30. When the condensed water reaches a certain amount, the baffle 4 is opened to allow the condensed water to flow out of the water outlet 33, so that the condensed water will not flow back to the dishwasher 2 intermittently, causing water marks on the inner wall surface of the dishwasher 2.

[0040] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the air inlet 31 is located above the air outlet 32, and a guide rib 34 inclined from top to bottom is further provided in the box body 3. The wall of the box body 3 provided with the air outlet 32 ​​is called the first wall, and the wall opposite to the first wall is called the second wall. The water outlet 33 is provided on the second wall, and the upper end of the guide rib 34 is connected to the second wall, and the lower end of the guide rib 34 faces the air outlet 32 ​​or extends into the air outlet 32 ​​to guide the airflow from the air inlet 31 toward the air outlet 32.

[0041] In addition, the air outlet 32 ​​and the water outlet 33 are respectively located on both sides of the baffle 4, the water accumulation area 30 is located between the air outlet 32 ​​and the baffle 4, the air inlet 31 and the water outlet 33 are respectively located above and below the guide rib 34, the upper end of the baffle 4 is in contact with or adjacent to the middle of the guide rib 34, and the area surrounded by the baffle 4 and the guide rib 34 facing the air outlet 32 ​​is the water accumulation area 30. The guide rib 34 not only guides the airflow, but also cooperates with the baffle 4 to separate the airflow, so that after the airflow enters from the air inlet 31, all or most of it flows to the air outlet 32, and does not flow directly from the water outlet 33 back to the dishwasher 2 without passing through the air outlet 32.

[0042] Preferably, if Figure 8 As shown, the plane where the air outlet end face of the air inlet 31 is located is taken as the reference plane, and the straight line intersecting with the center line L1 of the air inlet 31 and parallel to the reference plane is taken as the reference line L2, the intersection point of the reference line L2 and the center line L1 of the air inlet 31 is called the first point, and the point where the center line L3 of the air outlet 32 ​​is located on the air outlet end face of the air outlet 32 ​​is called the second point, and the angle α between the line L4 between the first point and the second point and the reference line L2 is between 45° and 135°, so that the steam flow path is smooth, the moisture backflow through the water outlet 32 ​​is reduced, and it is convenient to form the water accumulation area 30.

[0043] The center line L1 of the air inlet 31 refers to a straight line passing through the center of the air inlet 31 along the air flow direction, and the center line L3 of the air outlet 32 ​​refers to a straight line passing through the center of the air outlet 32 ​​along the air flow direction.

[0044] In this embodiment, the upper end of the baffle 4 is rotatably connected to the box body 3 through the rotating shaft 41, and the lower end of the baffle 4 is a free end. The baffle 4 can be in the first position or the second position. When the baffle 4 is in the first position, there is a gap between the lower end of the baffle 4 and the bottom wall of the box body 3 for condensed water to flow out of the water accumulation area 30. At this time, the water accumulation area 30 and the water outlet 33 are connected through the gap; when the baffle 4 is in the second position, the lower end of the baffle 4 and the bottom wall of the box body 3 are against each other, so that the water accumulation area 30 and the water outlet 33 are blocked. In this way, the baffle 4 is in the second position under the action of gravity. When the condensed water in the water accumulation area 30 reaches a certain amount, it will push the baffle 4 to rotate so that the baffle 4 is in the first position, that is, the baffle 4 is opened and closed by its own gravity or water flow, and there is no need to set a driving mechanism for driving the baffle 4.

[0045] A gas-liquid separator 5 is provided in the box body 3 along the flow path of the airflow from the air inlet 31 toward the air outlet 32. There is one gas-liquid separator 5, or at least two gas-liquid separators 5 along the flow path of the airflow from the air inlet 31 toward the air outlet 32.

[0046] In this embodiment, the gas-liquid separator 5 is a rotatable impeller. When the impeller rotates, the condensed water is thrown out to promote gas-liquid separation. The impeller includes a mounting shaft 51 rotatably mounted on the box body 3 and a plurality of blades 52 arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction of the mounting shaft 51. The two opposite wall surfaces of each blade 52 are respectively the windward surface and the leeward surface. There is always at least one blade 52 whose windward surface faces the flow direction of the airflow from the air inlet 31 to the air outlet 32. When the airflow flows, it will drive the impeller to rotate to separate the gas and liquid.

[0047] In order to guide the airflow entering from the air inlet 31 to the gas-liquid separator 5 for gas-liquid separation, a guide plate 8 is provided in the box body 3. One end of the guide plate 8 is connected to the air inlet 31, and the other end is inclined to the guide rib 34 and forms a narrow opening 81 for gas to pass through between the guide rib 34. The gas-liquid separator 5 is located downstream of the narrow opening 81.

[0048] The working principle of the condensation water box of this embodiment is:

[0049] After the air flow enters from the air inlet 31 of the box body, it flows to the impeller under the action of the guide plate 8 and drives the impeller to rotate. During the rotation process, the impeller can throw out the condensed water after it contacts the hot air flow, so as to separate the water in the hot and humid air. The condensed water enters the air outlet 32 ​​along the guide ribs 34, and flows along the inclined surface of the bottom wall of the air outlet 32 ​​to the water accumulation area 30. When the condensed water reaches a certain amount, it will push the baffle 4 to rotate upward, so that the condensed water in the water accumulation area 30 flows back to the dishwasher 2 from the water outlet hole 33.

[0050] The amount of condensed water formed by the dishwasher 2 after one operation can be tested by adjusting the space of the water accumulation area 30 and the weight of the baffle 4 so that the condensed water can be concentrated in the early stage of the next drying. The weight of the condensed water can open the baffle 4, and the water will flow into the dishwasher 2 at this time. During the drying stage, the drainage pump will be started before the end of the drying due to the program setting, so as to drain the water entering the dishwasher 2. At the same time, after a certain period of thermal convection drying, there will be no water mark problem in the inner tank.

[0051] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the air inlet 11 and the air outlet are located on different sides of the central axis of the dishwasher 2 in the left-right direction (the central axis refers to a straight line vertically passing through the central part of the dishwasher), and the exhaust duct has at least one bending portion for connecting vertically and horizontally, and the box body 3 is arranged at one of the bending portions and adjacent to the side where the air inlet 11 is located.

[0052] Specifically, the exhaust duct includes a first tube body 6 and a second tube body 7. The first tube body 6 includes a transverse section 61 extending laterally and a vertical section 62 extending vertically. The lower end of the vertical section 62 is connected to the exhaust hole, and the upper end of the vertical section 62 is connected to the transverse section 61. The transverse section 61 extends left and right and is located between the top wall of the dishwasher 2 and the bottom wall of the sink 1, and the transverse section 61 is at least partially attached to the top wall of the dishwasher 2, so that the heat of the dishwasher 2 will be transferred to the transverse section 61 to reduce the generation of condensed water.

[0053] The second tube body 7 extends vertically, the lower end of the second tube body 7 is connected to the transverse section 61, the upper end is connected to the air inlet 11, a bending portion is formed between the second tube body 7 and the transverse section 61, and the box body 3 is arranged between the second tube body 7 and the transverse section 61. This structural form of the first tube body 6 allows the airflow to flow smoothly, minimizes the bending portion of the exhaust duct, and makes the exhaust duct as short as possible. Here is an explanation: the "vertical extension" mentioned in this paragraph does not necessarily mean extending in the plumb bob direction, but refers to the extension trend of the component as a whole, with different heights at both ends; the "lateral extension" mentioned in this paragraph does not necessarily mean that the two ends are on the same straight line, but refers to the overall extension of the component basically in the horizontal direction.

[0054] Because the air inlet 11 on the sink 1 and the exhaust hole on the dishwasher 2 are located on different sides of the central axis of the dishwasher 2 in the left-right direction, the path of the exhaust duct needs to be long and have bends to achieve the connection between the air inlet 11 and the exhaust hole, and condensed water is most likely to accumulate at the bends. Therefore, in this embodiment, a box body 3 is set at the bend to collect and discharge the condensed water to prevent the condensed water from accumulating in the exhaust duct and generating abnormal noise after being blown by the airflow. In addition, the box body 3 of the present application is set at one of the bends and adjacent to the side where the air inlet 11 is located. At this time, the airflow has been flowing in the exhaust duct for a period of time and is more likely to generate condensed water. Therefore, the box body 3 is set here to easily collect the condensed water.

[0055] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Since the embodiments disclosed in the present invention can be arranged in different directions, these terms indicating directions are only for illustration and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "up" and "down" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.
