The consumable feeding module 20 is adapted to install or place consumables and is configured to feed the consumables into the inner container 10 to assist in the cleaning of tableware and the like.

[0043] Specifically, the waterway assembly 40 has an integrated waterway component 402 and a resin cavity 401. The integrated waterway component 402 is provided with a water inlet channel 41, a dosing channel 43, and an inner tank interface 42. The water inlet channel 41 is used for water inlet. Resin and other materials can be filled in the resin cavity 401 to soften the water quality. The dosing channel 43 is used to connect the consumable dosing module 20. The inner tank interface 42 is used to dose media into the inner tank 10. Among them, media such as water and consumables for washing can be dosed into the inner tank 10 through the inner tank interface 42. Among them, the dosing channel 43 is respectively connected to the resin cavity 401 and the inner tank interface 42. The dosing channel 43 can guide the fluid to pass through the resin cavity 401 and the dosing channel 43 after passing through the water inlet channel 41 and then into the consumable dosing module 20 to wash or dissolve the consumables in the consumable dosing module 20. The dosing channel 43 can also guide the fluid from the consumable dosing module 20 through the dosing channel 43 to the inner tank interface 42, and finally be dosed into the inner tank 10 through the inner tank interface 42 to complete the dosing of the consumables.

[0044] For the waterway assembly 40 of the dishwasher 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the waterway assembly 40 is used to connect the consumable dosing module 20 and the inner tank 10, guide the water flow to wash the consumables in the consumable dosing module 20, and dose them into the inner tank 10 to achieve the effective dosing of the consumables.

[0045] The present invention provides a waterway assembly 40, and water can be supplied to the inner tank 10 and the consumable dosing module 20 through the waterway assembly 40, so that the waterways for supplying water to the inner tank 10 and the waterway for supplying water to the consumable dosing module 20 are integrated together, realizing the modular design of the dishwasher 100, and effectively improving the assembly efficiency of the dishwasher 100. In addition, integrating the waterways into the waterway assembly 40 can reduce the waterway joints in the dishwasher 100 and reduce the possibility of joint leakage, thereby optimizing the stability of the dishwasher 100. At the same time, through the modular design, faults can be detected and repaired in time, so the maintenance of the dishwasher 100 is convenient.

[0046] The dosing channel 43 in the present invention can be a single channel, that is, after water is introduced into the consumable dosing module 20 through this channel, the water carrying the consumables then flows back through this channel to complete the dosing. It can also be two or more channels. The present invention mainly takes the dosing channel 43 including a first channel 431 and a second channel 432 as an example for illustration, which is not a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.

[0047] Such as Figure 1, in some embodiments, the dispensing channel 43 includes a first channel 431. One end of the first channel 431 communicates with the resin cavity 401, and the other end communicates with the consumable dispensing module. The dispensing channel 43 further includes a second channel 432. One end of the second channel 432 communicates with the consumable dispensing module, and the other end communicates with the inner tank interface 42. Among them, the first channel 431 can be arranged to extend in the vertical direction in the integrated waterway assembly. In addition, the second channel 432 can also be arranged to extend in the vertical direction in the integrated waterway assembly. Thus, it is convenient for fluid to flow through.

[0048] Among them, the upper end of the integrated waterway assembly 402 is provided with a first interface and a second interface. The first channel 431 communicates with the consumable dispensing module through the first interface 433; the second channel 432 communicates with the consumable dispensing module 20 through the second interface 434. The lower end of the first channel is connected to the resin cavity 401, and the lower end of the second channel is connected to the inner tank interface.

[0049] Specifically, the water inlet channel 41 can have a water inlet 413. Water flow can enter the water inlet channel 41 from the water inlet 413, and after passing through the water inlet channel 41, it can flow into the first channel 431 through the resin cavity 401. Subsequently, it flows into the consumable dispensing module 20 from the first interface 433 through the first channel 431 to flush the medium dispensed in the consumable dispensing module 20. After flushing, the water flow will carry the medium and be dispensed from the second interface 434 through the second channel 432 from the inner tank interface 42. By setting the first channel 431 and the second channel 432, rapid dispensing of consumables can be achieved, the dispensing efficiency of consumables can be improved, and it is convenient to improve the operating efficiency of the dishwasher 100.

[0050] The water cup interface 44 in the present utility model can be an interface on the waterway assembly 40 for connecting a water cup; the inner tank interface 42 can be an interface on the waterway assembly 40 for connecting the inner tank 10.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the inner tank interface 42 is used to connect the inner tank 10, and consumables can be introduced into the inner tank 10, which is convenient for the second channel 432 to introduce consumables into the inner tank 10 nearby, shortening the pipeline and improving the operating stability of the dishwasher 100.

[0052] The first channel 431 in the present utility model can be arranged to extend in the vertical direction, and the lower end of the first channel 431 is connected to the resin cavity 401; the second channel 432 can be arranged to extend in the vertical direction, and the lower end of the second channel 432 is connected to the inner tank interface 42. In addition, the first interface 433 and the second interface 434 are arranged at the upper end of the waterway assembly 40, and the first interface 433 and the second interface 434 can be arranged side by side to facilitate pipeline connection and maintenance.

[0053] The waterway assembly 40 has a resin cavity 401. The water inlet channel 41 is connected to the resin cavity 401, and the dosing channel 43 is connected to the resin cavity 401. After the water flows into the resin cavity 401, it will be softened by the water softening medium (such as resin) in the resin cavity 401 to remove the hard water minerals in the water flow, and then sent out through the dosing channel 43, so as to optimize the water quality and facilitate the cleaning of tableware and the like.

[0054] The waterway assembly of the present utility model further has a water cup interface for connecting a water cup. The waterway assembly 40 in the present utility model has multiple waterway modes.

[0055] In the first waterway mode, the water inlet channel 41, the resin cavity 401, the dosing channel 43 and the inner tank interface 42 are connected in sequence. The water flows from the water inlet channel 41 into the resin cavity 401, then into the dosing channel 43, and carries the consumables in the consumable dosing module 20 to the inner tank interface 42 to complete the dosing of the consumables. Thus, the softening of the water flow and the dosing of the consumables can be realized, which is convenient for the operation of the dishwasher 100.

[0056] In the second waterway mode, the water inlet channel 41 is connected to the water cup interface 44. Among them, the water cup interface 44 is used for water to enter the water cup. Specifically, the water inlet channel 41 is switchably connected to the resin cavity 401 or the water cup interface 44. In other words, the waterway assembly 40 has a first waterway mode and a second waterway mode. In the first waterway mode, the water inlet channel 41 is connected to the resin cavity 401, and the water flow circulates in the aforementioned manner; in the second waterway mode, the water inlet channel 41 is connected to the water cup interface 44, and the water flow entering from the water inlet channel 41 flows to the water cup interface 44 and enters the inner tank 10, and the water flow introduced from the water inlet 413 can be sent to the inner tank 10. Thus, in different operation cycles of the dishwasher 100, different water passing methods can be adopted to meet the flushing requirements of the consumables under different washing waterway modes.

[0057] In addition, the integrated waterway component 402 further has a salt cavity channel 45 for connecting the salt cavity module 30. The integrated waterway component 402 further has a regeneration water inlet waterway mode and a regeneration water return waterway mode. In the regeneration water inlet waterway mode, the water inlet channel, the resin cavity 401 and the salt cavity module are connected in sequence. In the regeneration water return waterway mode, the brine in the salt cavity module flows back to the resin cavity 401 through the salt cavity channel. Specifically, the resin cavity 401 is switchably connected to the dosing channel 43 or the salt cavity channel 45. The integrated waterway component 402 has a first waterway mode, a regeneration water inlet waterway mode and a regeneration water return waterway mode.

[0058] For example, the waterway assembly 40 may further include: a first switching member 481, which is respectively connected to the water inlet passage 41, the resin cavity 401 and the water cup interface 44, and is configured to switchably connect the water inlet passage 41 to the resin cavity 401 or the water cup interface 44. The flow path of the water flow can be adjusted through the first switching member 481. In the first waterway mode, the water inlet passage is connected to the resin cavity 401, and in the second waterway mode, the water inlet passage is connected to the water cup interface.

[0059] In addition, the waterway assembly 40 may further include: a second switching member 482, which is respectively connected to the resin cavity 401 and the salt cavity passage 45, and is configured to switchably connect the resin cavity 401 to the dosing passage 43 or the salt cavity passage 45. In the regeneration water inlet waterway mode and the regeneration return waterway mode, the second switching member is switched to connect the resin cavity 401 and the salt cavity passage. Through the second switching member 482, the connected passage of the resin cavity 401 can be switched. Among them, the second switching member 482 may be a solenoid valve, and the first switching member 481 may be a solenoid valve.

[0060] Optionally, the water inlet passage is provided on one side of the integrated waterway component 402, the dosing passage 43 is provided on the opposite side of the integrated waterway component 402, and the salt cavity passage is provided between the water inlet passage and the dosing passage 43.

[0061] Optionally, the upper end of the salt cavity passage is provided at the upper end of the integrated waterway component 402, and the lower end is provided at the lower end of the integrated waterway component 402. Among them, the lower end of the salt cavity passage can be set to be located above the resin cavity 401. In addition, the salt cavity passage is arranged to extend in the up and down direction in the integrated waterway component to facilitate fluid flow.

[0062] In addition, the water inlet passage may include a first branch and a second branch arranged side by side. The lower end of the first branch is provided below the resin cavity 401, and the upper end is provided at the upper part of the integrated waterway component 402. The upper end of the second branch is connected to the upper end of the first branch, and the lower end is provided at the lower end of the integrated waterway component 402 and is located above the resin cavity 401.

[0063] Combined with the foregoing, in some embodiments of the present invention, the water inlet passage 41 is switchably connected to the resin cavity 401 or the water cup interface 44 (refer to the appendix Figure 1 , switched by the first switching member 481), and the resin cavity 401 is switchably connected to the dosing passage 43 or the salt cavity passage 45 (refer to the appendix Figure 1 , switched by the second switching member 482);

[0064] The waterway assembly 40 includes the following working modes:

[0065] Such as Figure 2, pre-washing water inlet stage: The first reversing member 481 switches to connect the water inlet passage 41 to the water cup interface 44, and the water flow direction is towards the water cup interface 44;

[0066] Such as Figure 3 , main washing and rinsing water inlet stage: The first reversing member 481 switches to connect the water inlet passage 41 to the resin chamber 401, and the second reversing member 482 switches to connect the resin chamber 401 to the dosing passage 43. The water flow direction is towards the resin chamber 401, and after passing through the resin chamber 401, it flows towards the consumable dosing module 20, and after passing through the consumable dosing module 20, it flows towards the dosing passage 43, and then flows into the inner tank interface 42;

[0067] Such as Figure 4 , regeneration water inlet stage: The first reversing member 481 switches to connect the water inlet passage 41 to the resin chamber 401, and the second reversing member 482 switches to connect the resin chamber 401 to the salt chamber passage 45. The water flow direction is towards the resin chamber 401, and after passing through the resin chamber 401, it flows towards the salt chamber passage 45, and after passing through the salt chamber passage 45, it flows towards the salt chamber module 30;

[0068] Such as Figure 5 , regeneration water return stage; The first reversing member 481 switches to connect the resin chamber 401 to the water cup interface 44, and the second reversing member 482 switches to connect the resin chamber 401 to the salt chamber passage 45. The fluid in the salt chamber module 30 returns to the salt chamber passage 45, and after passing through the salt chamber passage 45, it flows towards the resin chamber 401, and after passing through the resin chamber 401, it flows towards the water cup interface 44;

[0069] Such as Figure 6 , overflow and return: At this time, the water circuit assembly 40 can be in a fault state. There may or may not be water flow through the first reversing member 481 and the second reversing member 482. The fluid in the salt chamber module 30 returns to the overflow passage 46, and after passing through the overflow passage 46, it flows towards the inner tank interface 42.

[0070] As described above, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the dishwasher further includes a salt chamber module 30 for realizing the dosing of regenerant salt, so as to facilitate resin regeneration. In addition, when water flows to the salt chamber module 30 to dissolve salt, the water flow passing through may be too large due to a fault. At this time, the water in the salt chamber module 30 needs to be drained. For this reason, the waterway assembly 40 in the present utility model further has an overflow channel 46, and the overflow channel 46 is used to connect the salt chamber module. Among them, the waterway assembly 40 further has an overflow interface. One end of the overflow channel 46 can communicate with the salt chamber module 30 through the overflow interface 461, and the other end communicates with the inner tank interface. Excessive water in the salt chamber module 30 will flow into the overflow channel 46 through the overflow interface 461 and then flow into the inner tank interface 42 through the overflow channel 46, so as to introduce the excessive water into the inner tank 10 and can be discharged through the drainage structure of the inner tank 10, thereby maintaining the stability of the waterway assembly 40 and the dishwasher 100. Thus, problems such as the fluid level and flow rate in the salt chamber module 30 being too large, resulting in unstable operation of the dishwasher 100 or fluid overflow in the dishwasher 100 are avoided.

[0071] In other embodiments of the present utility model, the overflow channel 46 communicates with the inner tank interface 42. The inner tank interface 42 is used to connect to the inner tank 10 of the inner tank 10, and the overflow channel 46 communicates with the inner tank interface 42. The fluid overflowing from the salt chamber module 30 can be introduced into the inner tank 10, which can facilitate the overflow channel 46 to introduce the fluid overflowing from the salt chamber module 30 into the inner tank 10 nearby, shorten the pipeline, and improve the operating stability of the dishwasher 100.

[0072] During the operation of the dishwasher 100 and the like, problems of inconsistent internal and external pressure differences are likely to occur. For example, the air pressure in the waterway assembly 40 is inconsistent with the external air pressure; or the air pressure in the inner tank 10 is inconsistent with the external air pressure, etc. For this reason, an inlet air chamber 471 is provided in the present utility model to communicate with the outside of the dishwasher 100 to balance the air pressure. It can prevent the pressure in the washing chamber 101 from being too large during the washing process, and can also prevent siphon phenomena from occurring in the drainage pipe and the water inlet pipe.

[0073] The anti-siphon structure in the present utility model includes but is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0074] Embodiment 1. The waterway assembly 40 further has an inlet air chamber 471. The inlet air chamber 471 communicates with the outside of the dishwasher and communicates with the water inlet passage 41 and / or the dosing passage 43. That is to say, the inlet air chamber 471 can be arranged to communicate with the water inlet passage 41, or can be arranged to communicate with the dosing passage 43; it can also be arranged to communicate with both the water inlet passage 41 and the dosing passage 43. By communicating the water inlet passage 41 and the dosing passage 43 with the outside of the dishwasher 100, the air pressure inside and outside the dishwasher 100 can be balanced. During the fluid flow process, the problem of increased flow resistance caused by inconsistent internal and external air pressures can be avoided, and the stable operation of the waterway assembly 40 can be maintained.

[0075] In some examples, the inlet air chamber 471 communicates with the water inlet passage 41, which can balance the air pressure in the water inlet passage 41 and achieve anti-siphon in the water inlet passage 41. For example, the water inlet passage 41 includes a first branch 411 and a second branch 412. When a negative pressure is generated in the first branch 411 relative to the second branch 412, it is connected to the outside atmosphere through the intake air chamber, so that the air pressure in the first water inlet branch 411 is balanced, and the siphon phenomenon of water flowing back from the first branch through the second branch is avoided, ensuring the stability of the water inflow.

[0076] In some examples, the inlet air chamber 471 communicates with the dosing passage 43, which can balance the air pressure in the dosing passage 43 and achieve anti-siphon in the dosing passage 43. Combining the foregoing embodiments, the waterway assembly 40 has an inlet air chamber 471 inside, and the internal and external air pressures can be balanced through the inlet air chamber 471. Specifically, the inlet air chamber 471 communicates with the outside of the dishwasher 100 and communicates with the first passage 431 and / or the second passage 432. For example, the inlet air chamber 471 can communicate with the first passage 431; the inlet air chamber 471 can communicate with the second passage 432; the inlet air chamber 471 can also communicate with both the first passage 431 and the second passage 432. Thus, the air pressure inside and outside the waterway assembly 40 can be balanced through the inlet air chamber 471, facilitating the fluid flow between the consumable dosing module 20 and the waterway assembly 40, reducing the fluid resistance, and saving energy and protecting the environment.

[0077] In some examples, the outer wall of the waterway assembly 40 is provided with a vent hole 474 for the inlet air chamber 471 to communicate with the external space of the waterway assembly 40.

[0078] Embodiment 2. The integrated waterway component 402 further has an inlet air chamber 471. The inlet air chamber 471 communicates with the outside of the waterway assembly 40 and communicates with the water inlet passage 41. The integrated waterway component 402 further includes a first one-way valve 476, and the first one-way valve 476 is configured to intake air unidirectionally from the inlet air chamber 471 to the water inlet passage 41. Anti-siphon of water inlet can be achieved.

[0079] The water inlet air cavity 471 is provided with a rib 478, which blocks the first one-way valve 476 and leaves a gap with the wall of the water inlet channel 41, so that the airflow in the external space bypasses the rib 478 and flows to the first one-way valve 476. This can prevent the water in the water inlet channel 41 from flowing out. Optionally, the rib 478 is provided between the first one-way valve 476 and the vent hole 474.

[0080] In the third embodiment, the water circuit assembly 40 further comprises a water inlet air cavity 471, which is connected to the outside of the water circuit assembly 40, and a reflux cavity 472, which is connected to the water inlet air cavity 471 and the inner liner interface 42. The reflux cavity 472 is used to achieve air pressure balance in the inner liner interface 42 and the delivery channel 43. In addition, in combination with the above, an overflow channel 46 is further provided, which is connected to the inner liner interface 42, and air pressure balance of the salt chamber module 30 can also be achieved.

[0081] In addition, the integrated water channel assembly 402 also has a salt chamber channel 45 for connecting the salt chamber module 30, the reflux chamber 472 and the water inlet air chamber 471 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the salt chamber channel 45, a communication channel is arranged between the reflux chamber 472 and the water inlet air chamber 471, and the communication channel and the salt chamber channel 45 are staggered along the thickness direction of the water channel assembly 40. Optionally, the reflux chamber 472 is arranged between the delivery channel 43 and the salt chamber channel 45; optionally, the water inlet air chamber 471 is arranged between the water inlet channel 41 and the salt chamber channel 45.

[0082] In the fourth embodiment, the integrated water circuit assembly 402 further comprises a water inlet air cavity 471, which is connected to the outside of the water circuit assembly 40. The integrated water circuit assembly 402 further comprises a drainage channel 49 for drainage and a drainage air cavity 473 connected to the drainage channel 49. A second one-way valve 477 is provided between the drainage air cavity 473 and the water inlet air cavity 471, and is configured to be one-way conductive from the water inlet air cavity 471 to the drainage air cavity 473.

[0083] When negative pressure is generated between the upstream and downstream sections of the drainage channel 49, the second one-way valve 477 opens under the action of the negative pressure suction. The drainage channel 49 is connected to the outside atmosphere, so that the air pressure of the drainage channel 49 is balanced, and the water flow is prevented from flowing back from the downstream section to the upstream section. Or, in the absence of a drainage pump, the water in the dishwasher 100 is non-actively discharged from the drainage pipe to the external drainage pipe, avoiding abnormal water shortage inside the dishwasher 100. When the air pressure in the upstream section of the drainage is higher than that in the downstream section of the drainage, or when the water flows into the exhaust air chamber during drainage, the second one-way valve 477 can be used to limit the water flow in the drainage channel 49 from flowing into the water inlet air chamber 471.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the outlet of the feeding channel 43 (or the outlet of the second channel 432) can communicate with the outlet of the overflow channel 46 and be connected to the inner tank interface 42.

[0085] Combined with the foregoing, in some embodiments, the water circuit assembly 40 further has a salt chamber channel 45 and a resin chamber 401.

By arranging the first interface 433 and the second interface 434 on the same section of the water circuit integration component 402 and extending the first channel 431 and the second channel 432 to the resin chamber 401, the structure of the water circuit assembly 40 can be further simplified, and it is convenient for the water circuit assembly 40 to connect to the consumable feeding module 20, simplify the structure of the dishwasher 100, reduce the occupied space of the water circuit assembly 40, and improve the space utilization rate.

[0088] Combined Figure 1 and Figure 7, in some embodiments, the waterway assembly 40 further has a salt chamber passage 45 for connecting the salt chamber module 30. One end of the salt chamber passage 45 extends to the resin chamber 401, and the other end extends to the second end of the waterway integrated component 402 and has a salt chamber interface 451. This can facilitate the connection of the salt chamber module 30, and is convenient for guiding the water flow from the resin chamber 401 into the salt chamber module 30, and for reversing the water flow from the salt chamber module 30 back into the resin chamber 401, thereby facilitating the regeneration of the resin and improving the stability of the waterway assembly 40.

[0089] In addition, in combination with the foregoing, the waterway assembly 40 further has an overflow passage 46 for connecting the salt chamber module 30. One end of the overflow passage 46 extends to the second end of the waterway integrated component 402 and has an overflow interface 461, and the other end is connected to the inner tank interface 42. Through the overflow passage 46, the overflow of the salt chamber module 30 can be facilitated, preventing water from overflowing from the dishwasher 100 and maintaining the stability of the waterway assembly 40 and the dishwasher 100.

[0090] Combined Figure 1 and Figure 7 , in some embodiments of the present utility model, the water inlet passage 41 includes a first branch 411 and a second branch 412. An inlet 413 is provided on the resin chamber 401.

One end of the second branch 412 extends to the resin chamber 401, and the other end extends to near the second end of the waterway integrated component 402 and communicates with the first branch 411.

[0091] In combination with the foregoing, the inner tank interface 42 in the present utility model can be used for the dispensing of consumables, so as to facilitate the dispensing of consumables into the inner tank 10 to complete the cleaning of tableware. In addition, the inner tank interface 42 can also be used for the overflow of excessive water volume in the salt chamber module 30. In addition, in combination with the foregoing embodiments, the water inlet air chamber 471 can also be connected to the inner tank interface 42. Among them, the water inlet air chamber 471 can be connected to the inner tank interface 42 to facilitate the balancing of the air pressure in the inner tank 10, and can also facilitate the water flow, preventing the water flow from overflowing from the waterway assembly 40 or the dishwasher 100, etc.

[0092] Next, refer to the attached Figures 1 to 7 Schematic diagram of the waterway assembly 40 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0093] As Figures 1 to 7As shown, the waterway assembly 40 includes an inlet channel 41, a dosing channel 43, a salt chamber channel 45, an overflow channel 46, a drainage channel 49, an inlet air chamber 471 and a resin chamber 401, and includes an inlet 413, an inner tank interface 42, a first interface 433, a second interface 434, a salt chamber interface 451 and an overflow interface 461. The resin chamber 401 is provided at the lower part of the waterway assembly 40, and the inlet 413 is provided at the bottom of the resin chamber 401. The inlet channel 41 includes a first branch and a second branch. The lower end of the first branch is connected to the inlet 413, the upper end of the second branch is connected to the upper end of the first branch, and the lower end is not higher than the resin chamber 401 and is connected to a first reversing member 481. The water cup interface 44 is not higher than the resin chamber 401 and is connected to the first reversing member 481. The resin chamber 401 is connected to the first reversing member 481 and a second reversing member 482. The dosing channel 43 is connected to the second reversing member 482 and the first interface 433. The salt chamber channel 45 is connected to the salt chamber interface 451 and the second reversing member 482. The dosing channel 43 is connected to the second interface 434 and the inner tank interface 42. The overflow channel 46 is connected to the overflow interface 461 and the inner tank interface 42. The inlet air chamber 471 communicates with the drainage channel 49 and / or the inner tank interface 42. A flow meter is connected to the waterway assembly 40, and the flow meter is used to detect the flow rate of the first branch.

[0094] As Figure 9 , the present utility model further provides a dishwasher 100. According to the dishwasher 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model, it has a washing chamber 101. Tableware and the like can be placed in the washing chamber 101, and functions such as washing, drying and / or storing of the tableware and the like can be realized.

[0095] It further includes a consumable dosing module 20. The consumable dosing module 20 is connected to the inner tank 10. The consumable dosing module 20 is used for dosing consumables. Consumables are suitable for being installed or placed in the consumable dosing module 20, and are configured to dose the consumables into the inner tank 10 to assist in the cleaning of tableware and the like.

[0096] In addition, the dishwasher 100 further includes the waterway assembly 40 as described above. The waterway assembly 40 is provided on the inner tank 10. The first interface 433 and the second interface 434 are connected to the consumable dosing module 20, and the inner tank interface 42 communicates with the internal space of the washing chamber 101. The dishwasher 100 of the present utility model uses the waterway assembly 40 to connect the consumable dosing module 20 and the inner tank 10, so that the consumables are dissolved in water in the consumable dosing module 20 and dosed into the inner tank 10, which can facilitate the complete dosing of the consumables to be dosed in the consumable dosing module 20, avoid the condensation of the consumables on the inner wall of the washing chamber 101 of the dishwasher 100, resulting in the actual dosing amount of the consumables not matching the expected dosing amount, and facilitate the cleaning of the dishwasher 100.

[0097] The waterway assembly 40 is provided on the inner tank 10 and is respectively communicated with the inner tank 10, the consumable feeding module 20, and the salt chamber module 30. Through the waterway assembly 40, water can be supplied into the inner tank 10, or water can be used to assist the consumable feeding module 20 in feeding consumables, or water can be used to assist the salt chamber module 30 in feeding the regeneration medium, etc. Through the integration of the waterway, the integration of each module of the dishwasher 100 can be facilitated.

[0098] In some embodiments, the water cup is connected to the bottom of the inner tank 10, and the inner tank interface 42 serves as a feeding port to communicate with the inner tank 10. Thus, fluid can be fed into the inner tank 10 through the inner tank interface 42. Among them, connecting the inner tank interface 42 to the inner tank 10 can facilitate the feeding of fluid, shorten the feeding path of the fluid, avoid energy loss during the flow of the fluid in the channel, and save energy and protect the environment. It can facilitate the waterway assembly 40 to feed fluid into the inner tank 10 nearby, shorten the pipeline, and improve the operating stability of the dishwasher 100.

[0099] In the present utility model, the consumable feeding module 20 and the salt chamber module 30 can be arranged at different positions within the dishwasher 100. For example, one of the consumable feeding module 20 and the salt chamber module 30 can be arranged at different positions such as the top, bottom, side, back, or door body 50 of the dishwasher 100, and the positions of the consumable feeding module 20 and the salt chamber module 30 can be adjusted according to actual needs. In addition, the present utility model provides some specific placement positions of the consumable feeding module 20 and the salt chamber module 30. Of course, this is not a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the consumable feeding module 20 is arranged outside the washing chamber 101 and at least partially above the washing chamber 101. Consumables or containers for storing consumables (hereinafter referred to as consumable boxes) can be placed in the consumable feeding module 20, and when the dishwasher 100 is working, the consumable feeding module 20 can feed consumables into the washing chamber 101, and the consumables are used for dishwashing work within the dishwasher 100. In order to facilitate the addition of consumables or consumable boxes to the consumable feeding module 20 and improve the durability of consumable storage, the consumable feeding module 20 can be arranged outside the washing chamber 101 and at least a part of the consumable feeding module 20 is located above the washing chamber 101. Among them, a part of the consumable feeding module 20 can be arranged above the washing chamber 101; or the whole of the consumable feeding module 20 can be arranged above the washing chamber 101. In addition, at least a part of the consumable feeding module 20 being located above the washing chamber 101 can include that any part of the consumable feeding module 20 is higher than the washing chamber 101; or it can include that the part of the consumable feeding module 20 that is vertically opposite to the consumable feeding module 20 in the washing chamber 101 is higher.

[0101] In addition, the upper end of the integrated waterway assembly is provided with a plurality of interfaces, and the dishwasher further includes a plurality of water guide pipes respectively corresponding to the plurality of interfaces. The water guide pipes extend in the up and down direction, and the lower ends are connected to the corresponding interfaces.

[0102] Among them, the upper ends of a part of the plurality of water guide pipes are connected to the consumable material feeding module; and / or, the dishwasher further includes a salt chamber module, and the upper ends of another part of the plurality of water guide pipes are connected to the salt chamber module.

[0103] Specifically, in addition, in combination with the foregoing, the upper end of the integrated waterway assembly in the present utility model is provided with a salt chamber interface 451, an overflow interface 461, a first interface 433 and a second interface 434. The salt chamber interface 451, the overflow interface 461, the first interface 433 and the second interface 434 can be arranged at the upper end of the integrated waterway assembly. Above the inner tank 10, there are a consumable material feeding module and a salt chamber module. Among them, a first water guide pipe extending in the up and down direction is provided between the first interface 433 and the consumable material feeding module, and a second water guide pipe extending in the up and down direction is provided between the second interface 434 and the consumable material feeding module; a third water guide pipe extending in the up and down direction is provided between the overflow interface 461 and the salt chamber module; a fourth water guide pipe extending in the up and down direction is provided between the salt chamber interface 451 and the salt chamber module. The first water guide pipe, the second water guide pipe, the third water guide pipe and the fourth water guide pipe can be arranged side by side.

[0104] The waterway assembly 40 is provided with a feeding interface, and the feeding interface is connected to the consumable material feeding module 20. Arranging the consumable material feeding module 20 outside the washing cavity 101 can avoid the influence of water, steam, high temperature, etc. in the washing cavity 101 on the consumables stored in the consumable material feeding module 20, which is convenient for the stable storage of the consumables in the consumable material feeding module 20. And arranging the consumable material feeding module 20 above the washing cavity 101 can facilitate the user to add consumables to the consumable material feeding module 20. Specifically, the consumable material feeding module 20 is arranged at the upper part of the dishwasher 100. The position of the consumable material feeding module 20 is relatively high, and the user can add consumables to the consumable material feeding module 20 without bending down. At the same time, compared with arranging the consumable material feeding module 20 in front of or on the side of the dishwasher 100, it will be more convenient to add consumables to the consumable material feeding module 20.

[0105] Among them, the consumable material feeding module 20 may include an automatic feeding module. For example, by setting a pumping component and a consumable material box, the consumable materials in the consumable material box are pumped out through the pumping component, so that the automatic feeding of the consumable materials can be realized. The automatic feeding of the consumable materials can control the feeding amount through the pumping component, so that the one-time addition and multiple feedings of the consumable materials can be realized. The consumable material feeding module 20 may include a manual feeding module. For example, a manual feeding cavity is provided to facilitate the user to manually add consumable materials into the feeding cavity, and the manually added consumable materials are dissolved and fed into the dishwasher 100 through the flow of water through the manual feeding cavity. In addition, the consumable material feeding module 20 in the present utility model can store a certain amount of consumable materials and feed them in multiple times; it can also be set to be used once by the user for one-time feeding. In addition, the consumable materials in the present utility model can be liquid consumable materials, solid consumable materials, granular consumable materials, etc., and the consumable material box is a container provided with consumable materials.

[0106] Such as Figure 9 , the consumable material feeding module 20 is set as a push-pull drawer structure. Specifically, the inner container 10 may include a housing, and there is a storage space inside the housing. The consumable material feeding module 20 can be placed in the storage space. The storage space extends in the front-rear direction, and a drawer opening is provided at the front end of the storage space. The consumable material feeding module 20 is inserted into the storage space and can be pushed and pulled in the front-rear direction. The consumable material feeding module 20 has a storage space, and the consumable material feeding module 20 can be partially pulled out of the drawer opening. Setting the consumable material feeding module 20 inside the housing can provide protection for the consumable material feeding module 20 through the housing. At the same time, it can facilitate the connection between the consumable material feeding module 20 and the water circuit, so that the consumable materials in the consumable material feeding module 20 can be fed into the dishwasher 100 for cleaning tableware and the like. The consumable material feeding module 20 is push-pullably inserted into the storage space, and the top of the consumable material feeding module 20 is open. That is to say, the consumable material feeding module 20 is set as a drawer-type structure, so that when the consumable material feeding module 20 is pulled out, the opening can be exposed, and thus consumable materials or a consumable material box (a container containing consumable materials) can be added to the consumable material feeding module 20 through the opening, which is convenient for the user to use. The consumable material feeding module 20 adopts a drawer-type structure. By pulling out the consumable material feeding module 20, consumable materials can be added into the consumable material feeding module 20, and the consumable material feeding module 20 can be pushed into the housing to facilitate the feeding of the consumable materials by the consumable material feeding module 20. The operation is convenient and fast, and the quick installation or replacement of the consumable materials can be realized. Moreover, during the operation of the dishwasher 100, the consumable material feeding module 20 is pushed into the housing, which can reduce the space occupancy rate of the dishwasher 100 and optimize the space utilization rate.

[0107] Among them, the consumable material feeding module 20 has an inlet and an outlet. The first interface 433 is connected to the inlet, and the second interface 434 is connected to the outlet. Water flow can enter the consumable material feeding module 20 through the first interface 433 and the inlet. After dissolving the consumable materials in the consumable material feeding module 20, it flows back to the water circuit assembly 40 through the outlet and the second interface 434, and enters the inner tank 10 through the water circuit assembly 40 to participate in the process of the dishwasher 100 washing tableware. Similarly, the consumable material feeding module 20 can also be set to have an inlet and an outlet, that is, the inflow and outflow of fluid are realized through one port.

[0108] For example Figure 9 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the dishwasher 100 further includes a salt chamber module 30. The salt chamber module 30 is provided on the inner tank 10. The salt chamber module 30 is provided outside the washing chamber 101 and at least partially above the washing chamber 101. In addition, salt can be placed in the salt chamber module 30. After the resin is used for a period of time, brine needs to be introduced for regeneration. Brine can be introduced into the resin chamber 401 through the salt chamber module 30. In order to facilitate the addition of regeneration media such as salt to the salt chamber module 30, the salt chamber module 30 can be provided outside the washing chamber 101, and at least a part of the salt chamber module 30 is located above the washing chamber 101. Among them, a part of the salt chamber module 30 can be provided above the washing chamber 101; or the whole of the salt chamber module 30 can be provided above the washing chamber 101. In addition, at least a part of the salt chamber module 30 being located above the washing chamber 101 can include that the salt chamber module 30 is higher than any part of the washing chamber 101; or it can include that the salt chamber module 30 is higher than the part of the washing chamber 101 that is vertically opposite to the salt chamber module 30.

[0109] The salt chamber interface 451 is connected to the salt chamber module 30. Providing the salt chamber module 30 outside the washing chamber 101 can avoid the influence of water, steam, high temperature, etc. in the washing chamber 101 on the regeneration media stored in the salt chamber module 30, and facilitate the stable storage of the regeneration media in the salt chamber module 30. And providing the salt chamber module 30 above the washing chamber 101 can facilitate the user to add media such as salt to the salt chamber module 30. Specifically, the salt chamber module 30 is provided at the upper part of the dishwasher 100. The position of the salt chamber module 30 is relatively high, and the user does not need to bend down to add regeneration media to the salt chamber module 30. At the same time, compared with providing the salt chamber module 30 in front of or on the side of the dishwasher 100, it will be more convenient to add regeneration media to the salt chamber module 30.

[0110] For example Figure 9, the salt chamber module 30 is arranged as a push-pull drawer structure. Specifically, the inner container 10 may include a housing with a storage space inside. The salt chamber module 30 can be placed in this storage space. The storage space extends in the front-rear direction, and a drawer opening is provided at the front end of the storage space. The salt chamber module 30 is inserted into the storage space and can be pushed and pulled in the front-rear direction. The salt chamber module 30 has a storage space and can be partially pulled out of the drawer opening. Setting the salt chamber module 30 inside the housing can provide protection for the salt chamber module 30 through the housing. At the same time, it can facilitate the connection between the salt chamber module 30 and the water circuit, so that the consumables in the salt chamber module 30 can be put into the dishwasher 100 for cleaning tableware and the like. The salt chamber module 30 is push-pull insertable into the storage space, and the top of the salt chamber module 30 is open. That is to say, the salt chamber module 30 is set as a drawer-type structure, so that when the salt chamber module 30 is pulled out, the opening can be exposed, and thus the regeneration medium can be added to the salt chamber module 30 through this opening, which is convenient for users. The salt chamber module 30 adopts a drawer-type structure. By pulling out the salt chamber module 30, the regeneration medium can be added to the salt chamber module 30, and the salt chamber module 30 can be pushed into the housing to facilitate the delivery of the regeneration medium by the salt chamber module 30. The operation is convenient and fast, and the quick installation or replacement of the consumables can be realized. During the operation of the dishwasher 100, the salt chamber module 30 is pushed into the housing, which can reduce the space occupancy of the dishwasher 100 and optimize the space utilization rate. In addition, the housing for accommodating the salt chamber module 30 and the housing for accommodating the consumable delivery module 20 can be the same housing or different housings.

[0111] Combined with the foregoing, similar to the consumable delivery module 20, the salt chamber module 30 can also have an inlet and an outlet. The salt chamber interface 451 can include two interfaces respectively connected to the inlet and the outlet of the salt chamber module 30. In addition, the salt chamber module 30 has an inlet and an outlet, and the salt chamber interface 451 is connected to the inlet and the outlet. That is to say, the water flow enters the salt chamber module 30 through the inlet and outlet of the salt chamber module 30, dissolves the salt to form brine, and then flows back to the water circuit assembly 40 and the resin chamber 401 to realize the regeneration of the resin.

[0112] To facilitate the delivery of the regeneration medium by the salt chamber module 30, the salt chamber module 30 also has an overflow port. When the fluid introduced into the salt chamber module 30 is excessive, the fluid can be sent out through the overflow port. The overflow interface 461 is connected to the overflow port. Combined with the foregoing, especially when the salt chamber module 30 only realizes the inflow and outflow of the fluid through the inlet and outlet, setting the overflow port can prevent the flow rate into the salt chamber module 30 from being too large, affecting the regeneration effect of the resin chamber 401, etc.

[0113] Among them, the consumable material dispensing module 20 and the salt chamber module 30 can be arranged side by side on the upper side of the washing chamber 101, left and right. Thus, the salt chamber module 30 and the consumable material dispensing module 20 can be arranged together, which is convenient for the production and maintenance of the dishwasher 100. At the same time, the space utilization rate of the dishwasher 100 is further improved. In addition, other discharge methods can also be adopted for the salt chamber module 30 and the consumable material dispensing module 20.

[0114] Among them, at least a part of the water circuit assembly 40 is arranged outside the side wall of the washing chamber 101. The dispensing interface and the salt chamber interface 451 are arranged on the upper part of the water circuit assembly 40, and the axis extends along the up and down direction. The space utilization rate of the dishwasher 100 can be improved. The integrated water circuit can be set in a form that covers a large area and has a relatively thin thickness. In addition, the integrated water circuit can be hidden inside the dishwasher 100, which will not have too much impact on the overall structure, operation and maintenance of the dishwasher 100, but has a greater impact on the space utilization rate of the dishwasher 100, so as to optimize the structure and performance of the dishwasher 100.

[0115] In some embodiments, the integrated water circuit assembly is plate-shaped and arranged on the side wall of the inner liner 10.

[0116] Optionally, the first interface 433, the second inlet interface, the salt chamber interface 451 and the overflow interface 461 are arranged side by side.
