Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of kitchenware, and in particular to a respirator for kitchenware and a dishwasher. Background Art

[0002] The dishwasher uses high-temperature water to wash dishes, and a large amount of wet hot water vapor will be generated during the cleaning process. The respirator is used to discharge the water vapor generated in the inner tank when the dishwasher is working.

[0003] There are two common types of respirators on the market. One type of respirator sets multiple ribs around the exhaust port. The high-temperature water vapor condenses into water droplets when it encounters the ribs, then drips to the exhaust port under the action of gravity and finally falls into the inner tank. However, some water vapor will bypass the ribs and overflow through the small holes on the top of the respirator. The other type of respirator sets an air duct inside to guide the water vapor to flow along the air duct without overflowing. However, this type of respirator also requires an additional exhaust pipe connected to the air duct to exhaust the water vapor out of the respirator. This will increase costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a dishwasher breather and a dishwasher that can prevent water vapor from overflowing and have low production cost.

[0005] A dishwasher breather is provided with a steam exhaust port, which is used to connect to the inner tank of the dishwasher. The dishwasher breather has a drainage channel and a steam exhaust channel inside, the drainage channel is used to allow waste water generated by the dishwasher to flow, one end of the steam exhaust channel is connected to the steam exhaust port, and the other end is connected to the drainage channel. The water vapor in the inner tank of the dishwasher can enter the steam exhaust channel through the steam exhaust port, then flow into the drainage channel, and finally be discharged from the dishwasher breather through the drainage channel.

[0006] In one embodiment, the exhaust channel is located above the drainage channel along the gravity direction. It is understandable that such a configuration facilitates the water vapor in the exhaust channel to enter the drainage channel from top to bottom under the action of gravity, and under the action of gravity, the waste water in the drainage channel will not flow back upward into the exhaust channel.

[0007] In one embodiment, the connection position between the drainage channel and the exhaust channel is located at the top of the drainage channel along the gravity direction. It can be understood that such a configuration can further prevent the waste water in the drainage channel from flowing back upward into the exhaust channel.

[0008] In one embodiment, a drain port is provided at the bottom of the drain channel along the gravity direction, and the drain port is used to connect to an external drain pipe. It is understandable that, in this arrangement, water vapor can gather at the bottom of the drain channel and then be discharged from the dishwasher breather through the external drain pipe.

[0009] In one embodiment, the dishwasher breather further comprises an exhaust fan, which is installed in the exhaust passage to discharge the water vapor at the exhaust port into the drainage passage. It is understandable that, in this arrangement, the exhaust fan can speed up the circulation of water vapor in the exhaust passage, thereby facilitating the timely suction of water vapor in the dishwasher inner tank into the drainage passage, and then discharged from the dishwasher breather.

[0010] In one embodiment, the exhaust passage includes a first exhaust section, a sinking trough section, and a second exhaust section, the first exhaust section is connected to the exhaust port, the exhaust fan is installed in the second exhaust section, one end of the sinking trough section is connected to the first exhaust section, and the other end is connected to the air inlet of the exhaust fan, and the depth of the sinking trough section is greater than the depth of the first exhaust section. It can be understood that, in such a configuration, when the width of the sinking trough section and the first exhaust section is the same, the sinking trough section has a deeper depth and can collect more water vapor, so that the exhaust fan can inhale more water vapor.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first exhaust section and the second exhaust section are arranged at an angle and are respectively arranged close to the edge of the dishwasher breather. It can be understood that such an arrangement can increase the extension length of the exhaust channel while reserving space in the middle of the dishwasher breather to open the exhaust port, thereby making full use of the internal space of the dishwasher breather.

[0012] In one embodiment, the dishwasher respirator further includes a temperature and humidity sensor, which is used to detect the temperature and humidity inside the dishwasher respirator. It is understandable that, with such a configuration, the values ​​measured by the temperature and humidity sensor can provide feedback on the temperature and humidity of the water vapor in the inner tank of the dishwasher.

[0013] In one embodiment, the breather for a dishwasher includes a first plate and a second plate, the first plate and the second plate are interlocked, and a plurality of convex strips are arranged on the first plate and / or the second plate, and two adjacent convex strips are arranged to form a drainage channel or a steam exhaust channel.

[0014] The present application also provides a dishwasher, which includes the dishwasher breather described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the dishwasher breather and dishwasher provided by the present application are provided with an exhaust passage, and the exhaust port is connected to the drainage passage through the exhaust passage, so that the exhaust passage can guide the water vapor, so as to guide the water vapor generated in the inner tank of the dishwasher from the exhaust port into the drainage passage, thereby preventing the water vapor from overflowing. In addition, the water vapor entering the drainage passage shares a drainage pipeline with the wastewater in the drainage passage, and can be discharged from the breather through the original drainage pipeline on the dishwasher breather, without the need to add an additional exhaust pipe, which is conducive to reducing the cost of the dishwasher breather.

[0026] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 The present application provides a dishwasher respirator, which is provided with a steam exhaust port 10, which is used to connect to the inner tank of the dishwasher. The dishwasher respirator has a drainage channel 20 and a steam exhaust channel 30 inside, and the drainage channel 20 is used to allow waste water generated by the dishwasher to flow. One end of the steam exhaust channel 30 is connected to the steam exhaust port 10, and the other end is connected to the drainage channel 20. Among them, the water vapor in the inner tank of the dishwasher can enter the steam exhaust channel 30 through the steam exhaust port 10, then flow into the drainage channel 20, and finally discharge from the dishwasher respirator through the drainage channel 20. In this way, by providing the steam exhaust channel 30, and the steam exhaust port 10 is connected to the drainage channel 20 through the steam exhaust channel 30, the steam exhaust channel 30 can guide the water vapor, so as to guide the water vapor generated in the inner tank of the dishwasher from the steam exhaust port 10 into the drainage channel 20, thereby preventing the water vapor from overflowing. In addition, the water vapor entering the drainage channel 20 and the waste water in the drainage channel 20 share a drainage pipeline and can be discharged from the breather through the original drainage pipeline on the dishwasher breather without adding an additional exhaust pipe, which is helpful to reduce the cost of the dishwasher breather.

[0027] Specifically, the breather for the dishwasher includes a first plate 60 and a second plate 70, which are buckled with each other, and a plurality of convex strips 61 are provided on the first plate 60 and / or the second plate 70, and two adjacent convex strips 61 are arranged to form a drainage channel 20 or a steam exhaust channel 30. The steam exhaust port 10 is provided on the first plate 60 or the second plate 70. Specifically, the first plate 60 and the second plate 70 can be buckled with each other by means of a snap connection, a screw connection, or the like.

[0028] In the direction of gravity, the exhaust channel 30 is located above the drainage channel 20. In this way, the water vapor in the exhaust channel 30 can enter the drainage channel 20 from top to bottom under the action of gravity, and the waste water in the drainage channel 20 will not flow back to the exhaust channel 30 under the action of gravity.

[0029] Furthermore, the connection position between the drain channel 20 and the exhaust channel 30 is located at the top of the drain channel 20 along the gravity direction. In this way, the wastewater located at the connection position between the drain channel 20 and the exhaust channel 30 will only flow downward under the action of gravity and flow into other positions in the drain channel 20, thereby further preventing the wastewater in the drain channel 20 from flowing back upward into the exhaust channel 30.

[0030] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the drainage channel 20 includes a first channel 22 and a second channel 23, which are arranged side by side and extend along the gravity direction respectively, and the first channel 22 and the second channel 23 are connected at the top to form a "U"-shaped drainage channel 20. Among them, the first channel 22 is arranged close to the exhaust channel 30.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a drain port 21 is provided at the bottom of the drain channel 20 along the gravity direction, and the drain port 21 is used to connect to an external drain pipe. Specifically, the drain port 21 is provided at the bottom of the first channel 22 along the gravity direction. A water inlet 24 is provided at the bottom of the second channel 23, and the water inlet 24 is used to allow waste water in the inner tank of the dishwasher to enter the second channel 23. In this way, water vapor can gather at the bottom of the drain channel 20 and then be discharged from the dishwasher through the external drain pipe.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the dishwasher breather also includes an exhaust fan 40, which is installed in the exhaust passage 30 to discharge the water vapor at the exhaust port 10 into the drain passage 20. The exhaust fan 40 can speed up the circulation of water vapor in the exhaust passage 30, so as to timely absorb the water vapor in the dishwasher tank into the drain passage 20, and then discharge the dishwasher breather.

[0033] Specifically, the exhaust passage 30 includes a first exhaust section 31, a sinking trough section 33 and a second exhaust section 32. The first exhaust section 31 is connected to the exhaust port 10, and the exhaust fan 40 is installed in the second exhaust section 32. One end of the sinking trough section 33 is connected to the first exhaust section 31, and the other end is connected to the air inlet of the exhaust fan 40, and the depth of the sinking trough section 33 is greater than the depth of the first exhaust section 31. In this way, when the width of the sinking trough section 33 and the first exhaust section 31 is the same, the sinking trough section 33 has a deeper depth and can collect more water vapor, so that the exhaust fan 40 can inhale more water vapor.

[0034] In one embodiment, the first exhaust section 31 and the second exhaust section 32 are arranged at an angle and are respectively arranged close to the edge of the dishwasher breather. In this way, while increasing the extension length of the exhaust passage 30, space can be reserved in the middle of the dishwasher breather to open the exhaust port 10, which is conducive to fully utilizing the internal space of the dishwasher breather.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the dishwasher respirator also includes a temperature and humidity sensor 50, which is used to detect the temperature and humidity inside the dishwasher respirator. In this way, the values ​​measured by the temperature and humidity sensor 50 can feedback the temperature and humidity of the water vapor in the inner tank of the dishwasher, and then adjust the power of the hot air component according to the values ​​measured by the temperature and humidity sensor 50, so that the temperature and humidity of the water vapor in the inner tank of the dishwasher are maintained within a preset range. Among them, the hot air component is a commonly used component of the dishwasher, which is used to extract air from the external environment, then heat the air, and then send it into the inner tank. Therefore, the hot air component will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Furthermore, the temperature and humidity sensor 50 may be installed in the exhaust passage 30 near the exhaust port 10 to more accurately detect the temperature and humidity of the water vapor flowing out of the inner tank.

[0037] The present application also provides a dishwasher, which includes the dishwasher breather described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0038] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0039] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
