[0039] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0040] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. appear, the orientation or position relationship indicated by these terms is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0041] In addition, if the term "and / or" appears, "and / or" is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship. If the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, if the term "multiple" appears, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0042] In this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connected," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, these terms may refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components, unless otherwise specified. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, if a first feature is described as being "above" or "below" a second feature, or similar descriptions, this may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, when a first feature is described as being "above," "above," or "above" a second feature, it may mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature. When a first feature is described as being "below," "below," or "below" a second feature, it may mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a lower level than the second feature.

[0044] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. If any, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only embodiment.

[0045] In related technologies, dishwashers often use a spray-type cleaning method. The washing effect is affected by the pressure, temperature, and spray angle of the water flow. Residual oil and dirt on dishes are difficult to remove with the wash water, resulting in a decrease in washing efficiency. Furthermore, since the wash water is recycled, residual bacteria and oil can easily cause secondary contamination. Furthermore, during the drying process, hot water spray is required to heat the dishes to a certain temperature, using the residual heat to evaporate the surface moisture. This process sometimes requires an auxiliary hot air system to maintain the surface temperature of the dishes to ensure the drying effect, which increases water and electricity consumption.

[0046] See Figure 1 As shown, for this purpose, an embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning device 100 that can be used for steam cleaning the surfaces of various devices, improving the cleaning effect of the devices and reducing usage costs. It should be noted that for ease of understanding, the device to be cleaned 200 in this application can be illustrated using tableware, specifically dishes, but the cleaning device 100 provided in this application is not limited to cleaning tableware.

[0047] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the cleaning device 100 includes a body 110, a steam generating assembly 120, and a spray assembly 130. The body 110 is used to place the tableware to be cleaned. The steam generating assembly 120 and the spray assembly 130 are both connected to the internal cavity of the body 110, so that the steam generated by the steam generating assembly 120 is sprayed onto the surface of the tableware through the spray assembly 130, causing the stains to dissolve and slide off under the action of the high-temperature and high-pressure steam.

[0048] Furthermore, the body 110 includes a cleaning liner 111, which is used to accommodate the device 200 to be cleaned to provide a place for washing dishes. It can be understood that the body 110 includes a base at the bottom, and the cleaning liner 111 is arranged above the base for easy use by the user. The cleaning liner 111 is provided with an openable door structure to expose the internal cavity of the cleaning liner 111 and place the dishes in the cleaning liner 111. Then, the cleaning liner 111 is sealed and closed by the door structure, so that the dishes are cleaned in a sealed environment and steam is prevented from leaking from the door structure side of the cleaning liner 111.

[0049] Furthermore, a dirt collecting tank 112 is provided on the bottom side of the cleaning liner 111, so that the stains generated during the cleaning process flow to the dirt collecting tank 112 under the action of gravity, thereby realizing centralized treatment and discharge of the stains.

[0050] Furthermore, at least one collecting port 1111 is provided on the peripheral side of the cleaning liner 111, so that the unliquefied steam after cleaning is discharged from the collecting port 1111, thereby achieving effective steam treatment and preventing steam from spreading indoors when the door structure is opened.

[0051] In some embodiments, the steam generating assembly 120 is provided with a water inlet 121 and an air outlet 122 to discharge steam from the air outlet 122 to the device to be cleaned 200 , thereby cleaning stains on the surface of the tableware by steam.

[0052] Specifically, the steam generating assembly 120 may include a steam generator, and the steam generator's water inlet 121 is connected to a water source to heat clean water flowing into the water inlet 121 to generate steam, which is ultimately discharged through the steam outlet 122. The water inlet 121 may be provided with a control valve to adjust the water flow rate of the steam generator. In this embodiment, the steam generator is installed in the machine base, forming an integrated structure with the other components of the cleaning device 100.

[0053] Of course, in other embodiments, the steam generator may also be disposed outside the machine body 110 and connected to the cleaning container through a pipeline to realize the supply of steam.

[0054] Furthermore, the steam generator includes a water tank 123 and a heater 124, and the water inlet 121 and the air outlet 122 are respectively provided at both ends of the water tank 123. The heater 124 is installed in the water tank 123 to evaporate the clean water in the water tank 123 to form steam by heating.

[0055] Exemplarily, the steam generator may be an electrically heated steam generator. When powered on, the heater 124 can heat and evaporate the clean water in the water tank 123 to form water vapor, and the steam is discharged into the cleaning inner tank through the air outlet 122 of the water tank 123.

[0056] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the steam generator may also be a fuel steam generator or a biomass steam generator, which is not specifically limited herein. Of course, when the steam generator is a fuel steam generator or a biomass steam generator, the steam generator is mostly arranged outside the body 110.

[0057] Furthermore, the steam generator is also equipped with an overheat protection device, such as a temperature sensor. By setting the evaporation temperature of the steam, after the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the heater 124, when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature in the water tank 123 is higher than the set temperature, the heater 124 stops operating or reduces its operating power, thereby ensuring a stable temperature in the water tank 123 and preventing damage to the electronic components of the cleaning device 100 due to overheating.

[0058] In some embodiments, the spray assembly 130 includes a plurality of spray heads 131 , each of which is connected to the gas outlet 122 of the steam generating assembly 120 . Each of the spray heads 131 is directed toward a corresponding device 200 to be cleaned, so as to spray steam onto the surface of the device 200 to be cleaned.

[0059] For example, during the cleaning process, the side of the dishes containing objects is placed toward the nozzle 131, so that the steam sprayed by the nozzle 131 adheres to the inner side of the dishes, thereby dissolving the stains inside the dishes, thereby achieving efficient cleaning of the device 200 to be cleaned.

[0060] Furthermore, the dishes and the nozzles 131 are placed in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the steam can fully clean the dishes and improve the cleaning effect.

[0061] Continue reading Figure 4 As shown, further, each nozzle 131 has a plurality of spray holes 1311 so as to atomize and spray the steam through each spray hole 1311 .

[0062] Specifically, multiple spray holes 1311 are equidistantly distributed on the same side of the nozzle 131, so that during the spraying process of the nozzle 131, the steam is sprayed out in an atomized manner, which increases the spray radius of the nozzle 131, increases the diffusion area of ​​the steam, increases the contact area between the dishes and the steam, ensures sufficient contact between the steam and the dishes, and further improves the cleaning effect.

[0063] Furthermore, the spray assembly 130 also includes an air pump 132 and a cleaning basket 133. The cleaning basket 133 is used to place the device 200 to be cleaned. A hollow pipe 134 is provided inside the cleaning basket 133. The air pump 132 is connected to the steam generating assembly 120 and the hollow pipe 134, respectively, to deliver steam to the hollow pipe 134. Each nozzle 131 is connected to the hollow pipe 134, thereby spraying the steam in the hollow pipe 134.

[0064] Specifically, the washing basket 133 restricts the placement of dishware, securing it within the basket and enabling stable steam cleaning. Residual dirt from cleaning flows out of the hollowed-out portion of the washing basket 133 under gravity and ultimately collects in the sump 112. The air pump 132 pressurizes the steam from the steam generating assembly 120 to form high-pressure, high-temperature steam, which is ultimately discharged into the hollow conduit 134, accelerating the dissolution rate of dirt and steam.

[0065] Furthermore, the cleaning basket 133 is further provided with a plurality of spray pipes 135 , each spray pipe 135 is arranged parallel to the direction of gravity, and both ends of each spray pipe 135 are connected to the nozzle 131 and the hollow pipe 134 respectively.

[0066] Specifically, the spray tubes 135 and the spray heads 131 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, so that when the dishes are placed, the food side of each dish is covered on the spray tube 135, which facilitates the placement and cleaning of the dishes.

[0067] Exemplarily, the number of spray pipes 135 and nozzles 131 can be two, three, four, five, six, etc., and can be reasonably selected according to the size of the cleaning basket 133 and the operating power of the cleaning device 100 to meet the corresponding cleaning requirements. No specific limitation is made here.

[0068] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a sewage discharge assembly 140, which includes a sewage pump 141 and a sewage pipe 142. The output end of the sewage pump 141 is connected to the sewage pipe 142. The sewage collection tank 112 is disposed on a side of the cleaning tank 111 near the sewage pump 141 and is connected to the input end of the sewage pump 141.

[0069] Specifically, the sewage pump 141 can be installed in the machine base, so that the cleaning device 100 is an all-in-one machine. During the cleaning process, the dirt and the water droplets generated by the cooling of the steam converge and flow into the sewage collection tank 112. The dirt in the sewage collection tank 112 is extracted by the sewage pump 141 and finally discharged through the sewage pipe 142, preventing the dirt from clogging the sewage collection tank 112.

[0070] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a steam collection assembly 150, which includes a collection tube 151, an exhaust fan 152, and a condenser 153. The cleaning liner 111 is provided with at least one collection port 1111, each of which is connected to the collection tube 151. The input end of the exhaust fan 152 is connected to the end of the collection tube 151 away from the collection port 1111, and the output end of the exhaust fan 152 is connected to the condenser 153. The end of the condenser 153 away from the exhaust fan 152 is connected to the sump 112.

[0071] Specifically, after cleaning is complete, some steam still remains in the cleaning liner 111. Driven by the exhaust fan 152, the remaining steam enters the collection pipe 151 through the collection port 1111 and is then discharged to the condenser 153. In the condenser 153, the steam is cooled and liquefied to form water droplets, which eventually flow into the sump 112 and are discharged through the sewage pump 141.

[0072] The number of the collecting ports 1111 can be one, two, three, four, etc., and can be set according to actual needs. The collecting ports 1111 are evenly distributed around the cleaning liner 111 to improve the steam collection efficiency.

[0073] Furthermore, exhaust fan 152 can be waterproof. Moisture-sensitive components like the motor and circuit boards are coated with a waterproof coating, such as conformal paint or epoxy resin, to enhance their moisture and water resistance. This effectively blocks moisture intrusion and improves the corrosion and weather resistance of the components, extending the lifespan of exhaust fan 152 and making it suitable for use in humid environments.

[0074] Furthermore, the exhaust fan 152 can be a centrifugal fan, which has the advantages of high efficiency, wide pressure adaptability, stable operation, convenient installation and maintenance, wide adaptability, long life, high-efficiency operation and good ventilation effect, thereby improving the exhaust rate of steam.

[0075] Continue reading Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a water softening component 160 , which is connected to a water source and a water inlet 121 of the steam generating component 120 , respectively, to remove minerals from the clean water.

[0076] Specifically, the water softener 160 is connected to a water source via piping, which in practical applications can be tap water. It delivers softened water to the water storage tank 123 of the steam generator 120 for subsequent steam cleaning operations. The water softener 160 includes a multi-stage filter that uses ion exchange technology to soften the water by exchanging hardness ions in the water with sodium ions on the resin. This effectively reduces scale buildup and extends the service life of pipes, faucets, and other equipment.

[0077] The present application also provides a dishwasher comprising the cleaning device 100 of any of the aforementioned embodiments. During the cleaning process, stains on the dishes dissolve and slide off under the action of high-temperature, high-pressure steam, or form droplets that float on the cleaning liner 111, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the dishes. Furthermore, the surface of the dishes remains relatively stable after washing, and any small amount of droplets remaining on the surface of the dishes can also be quickly evaporated and discharged through the exhaust fan 152, thereby drying the dishes without the need for a separate drying device and reducing energy consumption.

[0078] This embodiment has the cleaning device 100 of any of the above embodiments, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the cleaning device 100 of any of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0079] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments 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.

[0080] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
