Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dishwashers, in particular to a condensing device and a dishwasher. Background Art

[0002] A dishwasher is a household appliance that automatically washes dishes. During operation, high-temperature steam is generated in the inner tank of the dishwasher. The high-temperature steam accumulates in the cleaning chamber of the inner tank, which is not conducive to the rapid drying of the dishes. Therefore, the dishwasher is usually provided with a condensation assembly. The condensation assembly uses a fan to allow the high-temperature steam to enter the condensation assembly through the air inlet, condense and separate to form condensed water, so that the high-temperature steam achieves a drying effect. The formed condensed water flows back into the cleaning chamber through the reflux port and is discharged from the dishwasher together with the cleaning water. However, the above-mentioned condensation assembly requires the use of a fan to form a one-way flow of high-temperature steam, and electric energy is consumed during the condensation process, which is not energy-efficient. Moreover, the condensation assembly is usually connected and communicated with the inner tank by an installation sleeve at the reflux port and the air inlet. The installation sleeve has the same aperture as the reflux port or the air inlet. The installation sleeve extends through the opening on the inner tank into the inner tank and is locked and connected to the inner tank by a nut. However, in order to prevent air from entering the return port, some existing condensing components generally have a smaller aperture of the return port, which is usually smaller than the aperture of the air inlet port. Two types of mounting sleeves and nuts are required, which increases the number of parts and production costs and reduces assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0039] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model first provides a condensing device, which is connected to the inner tank 100. The cavity of the inner tank 100 is filled with hot steam during operation, and the hot steam is a mixture of tiny particle droplets and hot air. The condensing device includes a shell component 1, which has a condensing cavity. The shell component 1 is provided with an air inlet 11 and a return port 12 both connected to the condensing cavity. The air inlet 11 and the return port 12 are both connected to the cavity of the inner tank 100. Along the height direction of the inner tank 100, the air inlet 11 is located above the return port 12, and a condensing channel 10 is formed between the air inlet 11 and the return port 12.

[0041] Among them, the air inlet 11 and the return port 12 have the same aperture, and a first blocking member 13 is provided at the return port 12. The first blocking member 13 can partially block the condensation channel 10, so that the connection area between the return port 12 and the condensation channel 10 can be reduced, forming an obstruction effect; the cavity of the inner tank 100 is connected with the condensation channel 10 through the air inlet 11 and the return port 12 respectively. Due to the obstruction formed by the first blocking member 13 at the return port 12, the gas flow at the air inlet 11 is relatively smooth, while the gas flow at the return port 12 is obstructed, so that there is a pressure difference between the return port 12 and the air inlet 11. At the same time, by utilizing the upward fluidity of hot steam, the hot steam can enter the condensation chamber through the air inlet 11, and the condensation channel 10 flows in one direction. During the flow of hot steam in the condensation channel 10, condensation occurs due to cooling, and small particle droplets form condensed water, which separates the droplets from the hot air, thereby reducing the humidity in the inner tank 100. Furthermore, since the air inlet 11 and the return port 12 have the same aperture, when fasteners are used for installation on the inner liner 100, fasteners of the same type can be used, thereby reducing part models, reducing production costs, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0042] The condensed water formed by condensation flows back into the inner pot 100 through the reflux port 12 and is discharged along with the cleaning water in the inner pot 100. The flow of hot steam and the reflux of condensed water are as follows: Figure 5 Indicated by the arrow.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first blocking member 13 is a retaining ring. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown. The shell assembly 1 includes a first shell 14 and a second shell 15 which are arranged opposite to each other along the thickness direction. The return port 12 is opened in the first shell 14. The retaining ring is arranged on the inner cavity wall of the second shell 15 and extends toward the return port 12. The side wall of the retaining ring partially blocks the condensation channel 10, thereby reducing the connection area between the return port 12 and the condensation channel 10 and forming an obstruction on the condensation channel 10. Along the thickness direction of the shell assembly 1, the projection of the retaining ring on the first shell 14 at least partially overlaps with the return port 12, that is, the projection of the retaining ring on the first shell 14 may partially overlap with the return port 12, or the projection of the retaining ring on the first shell 14 completely overlaps with the return port 12, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 as shown in .

[0044] In one embodiment, the first shell 14 and the second shell 15 are connected to each other to enclose and form a condensation chamber, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the shell assembly 1. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, one of the first shell 14 and the second shell 15 is provided with a positioning pin 151, and the other is provided with a limiting column 141. The limiting column 141 has a concave positioning groove, and the positioning pin 151 is inserted into the positioning groove to ensure the assembly positioning accuracy between the first shell 14 and the second shell 15.

[0045] In order to further improve the blocking effect, the housing assembly 1 further includes a second blocking member 16. The second blocking member 16 is disposed upstream of the first blocking member 13 along the flow direction of the hot steam. The second blocking member 16 partially blocks the condensation channel 10. Figure 6 and Figure 7 For example, in one embodiment, the second blocking member 16 is a plurality of arc-shaped shielding sheets, and the second blocking member 16 is arranged around the retaining ring; the plurality of arc-shaped shielding sheets are arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the retaining ring to increase the gas flow resistance and ensure that the pressure difference between the air inlet 11 and the return port 12 is stable. In order to reduce the difficulty of processing, the plurality of arc-shaped shielding sheets can be respectively arranged on the first shell 14 and the second shell 15.

[0046] In one embodiment, the condensing device further includes a plurality of condensing baffles 2, which are arranged in the condensing chamber. Along the height direction of the shell assembly 1, the plurality of condensing baffles 2 are arranged at intervals and staggered to form a condensing channel 10. Due to the staggered arrangement of the condensing baffles 2, the plurality of condensing baffles 2 and the cavity wall of the condensing chamber are combined to form a serpentine condensing channel 10, which increases the length of the condensing channel 10 and prolongs the flow path length of the hot steam. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown by the middle arrow, the hot steam contacts the condensation partition 2 and the shell assembly 1 during the flow, so that the hot steam can be fully condensed.

[0047] Along the flow direction of the hot steam, the condensation baffle 2 has a first end 21 located upstream and a second end 22 located downstream. The condensation baffle 2 is inclined from the first end 21 to the second end 22 toward the direction close to the return port 12, so that the condensed water can be guided to facilitate the condensed water to gradually flow toward the return port 12.

[0048] The first end 21 of the condensation baffle 2 has an arc, which can reduce energy loss and avoid excessive flow resistance when guiding hot steam.

[0049] In order to further improve the condensation effect, the condensation device further includes a plurality of condensation ribs 3, which are arranged at intervals in the condensation channel 10 along the flow direction of the hot steam; the condensation ribs 3 have resistance to the hot steam, slowing down the flow speed of the hot steam, so that the hot steam flows slowly in the condensation channel 10 and is fully condensed. Moreover, the contact between the condensation ribs 3 and the hot steam also has a condensation heat exchange effect.

[0050] In order to avoid the accumulation of condensed water, the condensing device also includes a guide baffle 4, which is obliquely arranged at the bottom of the condensing chamber. The guide baffle 4 can be V-shaped or unilaterally inclined. The lower part of the guide baffle 4 is flush with the lower end of the return port 12 to guide all the condensed water to flow to the return port 12.

[0051] This embodiment does not limit the overall appearance of the housing assembly 1, which can be designed according to the installation space and is not limited to the drawings of this embodiment.

[0052] The utility model embodiment also provides a dishwasher, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the dishwasher includes the condensing device as described above, and also includes an inner tank 100. The condensing device is detachably connected to the inner tank 100 and is arranged on the outer side of the inner tank 100. Two mounting holes 101 are provided on the inner tank 100. The air inlet 11 and the return port 12 of the condensing device are connected to the two mounting holes 101 respectively.

[0053] The first blocking member 13 is provided at the return port 12 of the condensing device to partially block the condensation channel 10, reduce the connection area between the return port 12 and the condensation channel 10, form a blocking effect, so that there is a pressure difference between the return port 12 and the air inlet 11. At the same time, by utilizing the upward fluidity of hot steam, the hot steam can enter the condensation channel 10 through the air inlet 11 and flow unidirectionally in the condensation channel 10. The hot steam condenses due to the cooling during the flow process, separates the droplets from the hot air, and reduces the humidity in the inner tank 100. Moreover, since the air inlet 11 and the return port 12 have the same aperture, when fasteners are used for installation on the inner tank 100, the same type of fasteners can be used, which reduces the number of parts, reduces the production cost of the dishwasher, and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0054] In order to realize the installation of the condensing device on the inner tank 100, the housing assembly 1 further includes two mounting parts 18, which are respectively arranged at the air inlet 11 and the return port 12. Since the air inlet 11 and the return port 12 have the same aperture, the size and model of the two mounting parts 18 are also the same. The two mounting parts 18 are respectively inserted into the mounting holes 101, and the mounting parts 18 have mounting threads. The fastening nut 5 is threadedly connected to the mounting parts 18 from the inner tank 100, so that the condensing device can be detachably connected to the inner tank 100.

[0055] In order to prevent the cleaning dirt in the inner tank 100 from entering the air inlet 11 and the return port 12, the ends of the fastening nut 5 are provided with hollow cover plates.

[0056] Sealing rings 6 are provided between the air inlet 11 and the mounting hole 101, and between the return port 12 and the mounting hole 101 to improve the sealing performance. Since the air inlet 11 and the return port 12 have the same aperture, sealing rings 6 of the same size and model can be used to reduce the number of parts and reduce processing costs.

[0057] The outer side of the inner tank 100 is provided with a first clamping member, and the shell assembly 1 of the condensing device is provided with a second clamping member. The first clamping member and the second clamping member are clamped and connected to each other so that the air inlet 11 and the return port 12 are respectively arranged concentrically with the corresponding mounting holes 101. When assembling the condensing device, the shell assembly 1 can be pre-positioned by the clamping connection between the first clamping member and the second clamping member to ensure that the air inlet 11 and the return port 12 are respectively arranged concentrically with the corresponding mounting holes 101, and then the sealing ring 6 and the fastening nut 5 are locked and installed. Moreover, after the installation is completed, the clamping structure of the first clamping member and the second clamping member also increases the reliability of the connection between the inner tank 100 and the shell assembly 1, and prevents the shell assembly 1 from loosening and shifting.

[0058] Specifically, the outer wall of the liner 100 is provided with a frame 103 extending outward to form a first clamping member, and a notch is provided on the frame 103 to form a clamping groove 102, which is easy to process. The second clamping member is a stopper 17 protruding from the outer surface of the shell assembly 1 to avoid damaging the integrity of the shell assembly 1. The stopper 17 is clamped in the clamping groove 102 to achieve a clamping connection between the first clamping member and the second clamping member.

[0059] In one embodiment, the first clamping component extends along the height direction of the inner liner 100, and multiple clamping slots 102 are arranged at intervals. The second clamping component is provided with multiple limit blocks 17. The multiple limit blocks 17 and the multiple clamping slots 102 are clamped in a one-to-one correspondence to achieve multiple clamping connections, and the clamping and supporting effects are more reliable.

[0060] When multiple limit blocks 17 are provided, at least one limit block 17 has a first limit portion 171 and a second limit portion 172 that are connected to each other and are set at an angle. The first limit portion 171 is clamped in the clamping slot 102 to abut against and limit the movement of the housing assembly 1 along the first direction, and the second limit portion 172 abuts against a side of the frame 103 away from the housing assembly 1 to abut against and limit the movement of the housing assembly 1 along the second direction. The first direction and the second direction are set at an angle. In one embodiment, the first direction is the height direction of the inner liner 100, and the second direction is the depth direction of the inner liner 100. Figure 8 , the height direction and the depth direction of the inner container 100 are shown, and the first limiting portion 171 and the second limiting portion 172 are vertically connected to each other.

[0061] In the specific contents of the above-mentioned specific implementation methods, the various technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory manner. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the above-mentioned technical features 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.

[0062] The specific contents of the above specific implementations only express several implementations of the utility model, and the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
