Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dishwashers, and particularly relates to a simple water tank installation structure for a dishwasher. Background Art

[0002] With the performance upgrade of dishwashers, built-in water tanks have been introduced to store water for the use of dishwashers. Since the basic water consumption per single stage of a dishwasher is about 2 - 3, the water storage capacity of the water storage device required by the dishwasher is not too small, thus creating a large-volume water tank. However, due to the limited space in the dishwasher, most dishwasher water tanks are arranged in the gap between the inner liner and the outer shell of the dishwasher, resulting in a relatively thin actual thickness of the water tank but a large area. Further, some functions need to be integrated into the water tank, such as the dishwasher flowmeter function and the inner liner gas exchange function; the flowmeter and the exhaust and intake functions are integrated into the water tank to replace the original breather structure (i.e., both the flowmeter and the exhaust and intake functions are set on the water tank); but the larger the water tank, the more functions it has, and the higher the quality risk. For example, if there is some poor welding inside the water tank leading to water leakage, it will affect the overall performance of the water tank, resulting in the scrapping of the entire water tank, which is very inconvenient for the pre-production and even post-maintenance of the water tank.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a simple water tank installation structure for a dishwasher with simple structure, low quality risk, high production efficiency, low maintenance cost and strong practicability, so as to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art.

The flowmeter and the exhaust window are independently arranged outside the water tank. A water storage area and a gas chamber area are arranged on the water tank. The flowmeter, the water storage area, the water softener and the cavity are connected in sequence, and the cavity, the gas chamber area and the exhaust window are connected in sequence.

[0006] It further includes a water inlet valve. One end of the flowmeter is provided with a first water inlet, and the first water inlet is connected to the water inlet valve through a water inlet pipe.

[0007] A second water inlet is arranged at the lower part of the water storage area. The other end of the flowmeter is provided with a first water outlet, and the first water outlet is connected to the second water inlet through a water outlet pipe.

[0008] A second water outlet and a third water outlet are further arranged at the lower part of the water storage area. The water softener is provided with a resin cavity and a salt cavity. The top of the resin cavity is provided with a resin cavity water inlet, and the top of the salt cavity is provided with a salt cavity water inlet. The second water outlet is connected to the resin cavity water inlet, and the third water outlet is connected to the salt cavity water inlet.

[0009] A control valve is provided on the water softener. The water inlet ends of the control valve are respectively connected to the resin chamber water inlet and the salt chamber water inlet, and the water outlet ends of the control valve are respectively connected to the resin chamber and the salt chamber.

[0010] A resin chamber water outlet is provided on the resin chamber, a salt chamber water outlet is provided on the salt chamber, a third water inlet and a fourth water inlet are provided on the chamber body, the resin chamber water outlet is connected to the third water inlet, and the salt chamber water outlet is connected to the fourth water inlet.

[0011] An air inlet is provided in the air chamber area, an air outlet is provided on the chamber body, and the air inlet is connected to the air outlet.

[0012] An exhaust port is provided in the upper part of the air chamber area. The exhaust port is connected to an exhaust window through an exhaust pipe, and the exhaust window communicates with the outside.

[0013] A number of downwardly inclined condensation ribs are provided in the air chamber area, and the condensation ribs are located above the air inlet and the air outlet.

[0014] Partition ribs are provided in the water tank, and the water storage area and the air chamber area are separated from each other by the partition ribs.

[0015] In the present utility model, by separately arranging the flow meter and the exhaust window outside the water tank, the flow meter, the water storage area, the water softener and the chamber are sequentially connected, and the chamber, the air chamber area and the exhaust window are sequentially connected, which simplifies the structure and function of the water tank. By using the external connection method to separate the original combined functions, during the production process, it is only necessary to determine whether there is water leakage at the outer edge of the water tank, and there is no need to detect whether there is water leakage or inaccurate flow inside the water tank. This greatly reduces the production inspection time of the water tank. At the same time, for later maintenance, it is not necessary to replace the whole machine components, and only the components need to be replaced for a single problem, which is more convenient for maintenance. At the same time, the quality risk of the water tank is reduced, which further facilitates the pre-production and later maintenance of the water tank, thereby indirectly improving the production efficiency of the water tank and reducing the maintenance cost.
