[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] This embodiment discloses a steam elimination device at a dishwasher outlet, referring to Figure 1 As shown, it includes an inner tank 1, an air outlet pipe 3, a fan 4 and a connecting pipe 5, wherein the inner tank 1 is the main body of the dishwasher, a dishwashing cavity is formed inside, and an opening is formed on one side of the inner tank 1. The inner tank 1 has an open side, which is the front side of the dishwasher.

[0026] The air outlet pipe 3 is installed at the upper edge of the opening. The air outlet pipe 3 is in a long strip structure and is arranged along the upper edge 2 of the opening. The air outlet pipe 3 is provided with a plurality of air outlet holes 31, and each of the air outlet holes 31 is distributed along the length direction so that air can be sprayed out from the upper edge of the air outlet pipe 3. The air outlet holes 31 are in the same direction as the opening, and are all facing the front side of the dishwasher.

[0027] The fan 4 and the connecting pipe 5 are both installed on the upper side of the inner liner 1. The fan 4 includes an air outlet 41, the air outlet 41 is connected to the connecting pipe 5, and the connecting pipe 5 is connected to the air outlet pipe 3, so as to realize the connection between the fan 4 and the air outlet pipe 3. When the fan 4 is working, the air outlet 41 of the fan 4 can blow air outward, and the airflow enters the air outlet pipe 3 along the connecting pipe 5, and the air in the air outlet pipe 3 can be ejected outward from the air outlet hole 31 of the air outlet pipe 3, forming an airflow toward the front side.

[0028] During operation of the dishwasher, the inner tank 1 is in a high temperature state. After washing and drying, the inner cavity of the dishwasher still has a high temperature and a certain humidity. When the dishwasher door is opened, humid air will escape from the dishwasher and radiate upward. Through the operation of the fan 4, air can be supplied to the connecting pipe 5 and the air outlet pipe 3, and then the air flow is ejected from the air outlet hole 31 of the air outlet pipe 3, forming an air curtain at the upper edge 2 of the opening of the inner tank 1, blowing the steam emitted from the inner tank 1 to the front of the dishwasher, forcing the steam to stay away from the work surface and cabinets.

[0029] The fan 4 is installed on the upper side of the inner tank 1 of the dishwasher. The fan 4 can be a centrifugal fan 4 with a small thickness, which can meet the space requirements on the upper side of the dishwasher. The fan 4 can be installed and fixed by two screws or pins, and the air outlet pipe 3 can also be installed and fixed by a plurality of screws or pins, so that the fan 4 and the air outlet pipe 3 can be installed and fixed.

[0030] Reference Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet pipe 3 may adopt a segmented structure, for example, the air outlet pipe 3 may be divided into two segments, and the two segments of the air outlet pipe 3 are respectively installed on both sides of the upper edge 2 of the opening.

[0031] The connecting pipe 5 includes two branch pipe parts 51, and the two branch pipe parts 51 are respectively connected to two sections of the outlet pipe 3. The branch pipe part 51 is connected to the outlet pipe 3 to form an integrated structure, and a substantially L-shaped structure is formed between the branch pipe part 51 and the outlet pipe 3.

[0032] In addition, the connecting pipe 5 also includes a connecting portion 52, and the two branch pipe portions 51 are connected to the connecting portion 52 to form an integrated structure. The connecting portion 52 has three interfaces, namely, interface 1 521, interface 2 522 and interface 3 523, wherein interface 1 521 is connected to the air outlet 41, interface 2 522 and interface 3 523 are respectively connected to the two connecting portions 52, and the two connecting portions 52 can be connected to the air outlet 41 of the fan 4 through the connecting portion 52. In addition, the interface 1 521 forms a flared structure, which gradually expands in the direction away from the air outlet 41. The flared interface 1 521 can guide the air outlet 41, so that the wind output by the fan 4 can be evenly delivered to the two sections of the air outlet pipe 3, and the air can be evenly discharged at the two ends of the air outlet pipe 3.

[0033] Reference Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the air outlet pipe 3 may also adopt a whole section structure, and the total length of the air outlet pipe 3 is roughly close to the upper edge 2 of the opening, so that the air outlet range of the air outlet pipe 3 at the upper edge 2 of the opening can basically cover the upper edge 2 of the opening. The connecting pipe 5 can be connected to the middle position of the air outlet pipe 3, and the connecting pipe 5 can also be connected to the end position of the air outlet pipe 3, so as to connect the fan 4 with the air outlet pipe 3.

[0034] This embodiment also discloses a dishwasher, comprising the dishwasher outlet steam elimination device in the above embodiment, through which the high-temperature and high-humidity gas escaping from the opening of the dishwasher can be blown forward, forcing the steam to stay away from the work surface and cabinets, thereby eliminating the adverse effects of the steam on the work surface and cabinets as much as possible.

[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
