[0005] This application provides a dishwasher. By arranging the exhaust device on the door body and setting the air outlet at the lower edge of the door body, while the position is concealed and beautiful, the steam will not condense on the inner wall of the cabinet to cause the cabinet to get damp and moldy. At the same time, the high-temperature water vapor in the washing cavity enters the exhaust device and is converted into condensed water after contacting the low-temperature environment. The exhaust device is provided with a multi-bent condensation air duct, which lengthens the travel of the internal air flow, so that more water vapor condenses inside the air duct. And a water outlet is designed in the condensation air duct, and the condensed water can be collected and discharged through the water outlet, so as to avoid the accumulation of liquid in the air duct leading to the growth of bacteria, or avoid the liquid being discharged through the air outlet, resulting in the dampness of the surrounding environment of the device and affecting the user experience.
[0006] In one embodiment, the condensation air duct is arranged in the height direction. Thus, the condensed water transformed during the discharge process of the high-temperature water vapor can naturally slide down along the inner wall of the condensation air duct under the action of gravity, effectively avoiding the accumulation of condensed water in the air duct and causing bacterial growth.
[0007] In one embodiment, an air-facing surface is formed inside the condensation air duct. The air-facing surface faces the air flow direction and extends along the width direction of the condensation air duct. By providing the air-facing surface, the air-facing surface abuts against the air flow, causing the energy of the air flow to decrease and the flow velocity to decrease after the collision. As a result, the air flow direction is changed, and while the air flow path is extended, the air flow can contact the inner walls on both sides of the condensation air duct more and exchange heat to be transformed into condensed water.
[0008] In one embodiment, the condensation air duct is one or more of an S shape, a V shape, a W shape, and an M shape. By adopting the above structure, a tortuous condensation air duct can be formed, which is beneficial to lengthen the air flow path in the air duct.

The diversion step is used to guide the condensed water to the water outlet. By adopting the above structure, the condensed water will slide down along the inner wall of the condensation air duct to the diversion step under the action of gravity and slide towards the water outlet under the guidance of the inclined diversion step. Thus, the condensed water can be well concentrated and guided for discharge, avoiding the accumulation of part of the liquid in the air duct and causing bacterial growth.
[0010] In one embodiment, the water outlet is located above the air outlet. It can prevent part of the condensed water from being discharged through the air outlet before reaching the water outlet and being discharged, resulting in a humid environment around the device and affecting the user experience.
[0011] In one embodiment, a drain pipe is further included. An outlet part is formed on one side of the air duct housing close to the first opening. The outlet part is provided with the water outlet, and the outlet part is communicated with the drain pipe.

[0013] In one embodiment, the steam inlet portion includes a first cover body and a second cover body. The first cover body is detachably disposed on the second cover body, and the first cover body and the second cover body enclose to form the air inlet duct. By providing the first cover body and the second cover body that are detachably connected, it is convenient for loading and unloading of the components located in the air inlet duct, and at the same time, it is convenient for the installer to regularly clean the inner wall of the air inlet duct to avoid bacteria growth.
[0014] In one embodiment, the second cover body is disposed on the inner side wall of the installation cavity close to the washing chamber. The air inlet is provided on the second cover body, and the air inlet is disposed opposite to the second opening. A connection cover is further included. The connection cover covers the end face of the second opening close to the washing chamber. The connection cover is formed with a connection post. A part of the connection post extends into the air inlet to be fitted and installed with the second cover body. The connection post is provided with an air passage hole that communicates the air inlet duct and the washing chamber.
