Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dishwasher-related equipment, in particular to a rapid cooling device and a dishwasher. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, people's quality of life is constantly improving with the changes of the times. Nowadays, dishwashers are beginning to enter thousands of households.

[0003] During the use of dishwashers, existing dishwashers also have certain usage problems:

[0004] Firstly, since the rinsing water temperature and drying water temperature of the dishwasher are very high, after the dishwasher finishes working, the temperature inside the cavity is too high and the temperature of the plates is not suitable. At the same time, after rinsing, the current dishwashers still use hot air drying to dry the dishes. Since the temperature of the dishes in the cavity is too high after drying, the dishwasher cavity needs to be cooled for half an hour before the dishes can be taken out. They cannot be washed and used immediately, which affects the user experience. Similarly, different people have different temperature tolerance levels, which can easily cause users to misjudge and cause an uncomfortable user experience.

[0005] Secondly, many users like to use the dishwasher's bowl storage basket to store bowls and chopsticks. However, after being washed in the dishwasher many times, wooden chopsticks and plastic insulation box lids will deform and have odors due to long-term high-temperature washing and storage.

[0046] In the embodiment of the utility model, the heat dissipation mechanism is connected to the cleaning chamber 4 of the dishwasher to dry and cool the cleaning chamber 4 of the dishwasher after operation. The main method is to cool the cleaning chamber 4 by heat exchange contact between the heat exchange component 1 and the cleaning chamber; and for the hot steam that causes the temperature in the cleaning chamber 4 to be too high, the hot steam is discharged from the cleaning chamber 4 through the exhaust component, thereby effectively achieving the drying and cooling of the cleaning chamber 4 through the exhaust component and the heat exchange component 1.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the utility model provides a device for quickly cooling a dishwasher, which discharges the hot steam in the cleaning chamber 4 by adopting a heat exchange component 1 and a steam exhaust component, and cools the chamber wall of the cleaning chamber 4 by heat exchange, thereby effectively achieving the technical effect of quickly cooling the cleaning chamber 4.

[0048] In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 The heat exchange component 1 includes a dishwasher water inlet pipe; the dishwasher water inlet pipe is provided with a coil portion, and the coil portion is connected to the outer wall of at least one side of the cleaning bin 4.

[0049] Specifically: the water inlet pipe of the dishwasher is provided with a coil part, and the tube of the coil part is formed into a circular or rectangular shape that fits the outer wall of the cleaning chamber 4; when in use, a cold medium such as cold water or cold air is passed through the tube wall of the coil part to exchange heat with the wall of the cleaning chamber 4, so as to achieve cooling treatment of the cleaning chamber 4.

[0058] Further, refer to Figure 1 The heat exchange component 1 is also provided with an exhaust valve 13, which is arranged at the top of the dishwasher water inlet pipe at the opposite end of the water inlet 11.

[0059] Specifically, the exhaust valve 13 is arranged at the top of the dishwasher water inlet pipe at the opposite end of the water inlet 11, so as to discharge the gas in the pipeline through the exhaust valve 13, thereby avoiding the problem of poor water flow caused by the presence of gas in the pipeline.

[0060] It should be noted that the heat exchange component 1 is further provided with a plug 14 , which is arranged at the bottom of an end opposite to the water outlet 12 .

[0061] In an optional implementation of this embodiment, the heat exchange component 1 also includes a water tank, which is connected to the water inlet pipe of the dishwasher, and the water tank is used to fit with the cleaning bin 4 for heat exchange with the cleaning bin 4.

[0062] Specifically: the water tank is connected to the water inlet pipe of the dishwasher, and the water tank is used to fit with the cleaning bin 4 for heat exchange with the cleaning bin 4; preferably, the water tank can fit with the cleaning bin 4 to achieve cooling of the cleaning bin 4 by water-cooled heat exchange.

[0063] In an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 or Figure 3 The exhaust assembly includes an air-cooled bin 2, the top of which is connected to an external refrigeration device via an air inlet 21, and an air outlet 22 is provided at the bottom of the air-cooled bin 2; the air-cooled bin 2 is connected to the cleaning bin 4, and the heat exchange assembly 1 is arranged in the air-cooled bin 2.

[0064] Specifically: the air-cooled chamber 2 is connected to the cleaning chamber 4, and the air-cooled chamber 2 is connected to an external refrigeration device through the air inlet 21, that is, the refrigeration device inputs cold air into the air-cooled chamber 2 through the air inlet 21, and then injects the cold air into the cleaning chamber 4 through the air-cooled chamber 2, and the hot steam inside the cleaning chamber 4 is mixed with the injected cold air and discharged from the air outlet 22.

[0065] Furthermore, the rapid cooling device also includes an air pump 3, which is arranged in the air cooling bin 2 and connected to the cleaning bin 4. The air pump 3 is used to draw cold air from the top of the cleaning bin 4 so that the hot steam in the cleaning bin 4 enters the air cooling bin 2 from the bottom.

[0066] Specifically: the air pump 3 draws cold air in from the top of the cleaning chamber 4. Since the weight of the cold air is greater than that of the hot air, the cold air cools the cleaning chamber 4 as it sinks. At the same time, the air in the cleaning chamber 4 enters the air cooling chamber 2 from the bottom to accelerate the cooling speed.
