Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dishwashers, and more particularly to a dishwasher capable of dual-path water inlet. Background Art

[0002] Current dishwashers use external tap water for water supply. Before kitchen decoration, the dishwasher's water inlet pipes need to be pre-installed. If the pipes are not pre-installed in advance, the dishwasher cannot be installed, which limits the use scenarios of the dishwasher and is not conducive to the promotion of dishwashers.

[0003] Since tap water itself has water pressure, the dishwasher can use the water pressure of tap water as the driving force when filling the dishwasher. If you simply use an external water tank as the water source, the water in the water tank cannot be transported to the dishwasher, and the dishwasher cannot be properly supplied with water.

[0004] Therefore, a new solution needs to be proposed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a dishwasher capable of dual water inlet, which can be fed with tap water or a water tank.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A dishwasher capable of dual-path water inlet includes a breather, a water inlet valve, a self-priming pump, and a flow meter. The water inlet valve includes a first end and a second end, and the first end of the water inlet valve is used to connect to a water source. The self-priming pump includes a first end and a second end, and is used to pump from the first end to the second end. The first end of the self-priming pump is connected to the second end of the water inlet valve, and the second end of the self-priming pump is connected to the breather. The flow meter is installed on the breather and is used to detect the water inlet flow of the breather.

[0008] The utility model is further configured such that the respirator is provided with a water inlet channel, and has a first end of the water inlet channel and a second end of the water inlet channel connected to the water inlet channel, and the first end of the water inlet channel is connected to the second end of the self-priming pump.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] This embodiment discloses a dishwasher capable of dual water inlet. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, it includes a respirator 10, a water inlet valve 20, a self-priming pump 30, a flow meter 13, a water cup 50 of a dishwasher, and several pipelines.

[0023] The water inlet valve 20 is used to connect the dishwasher to an external water source and includes a first end 21 and a second end 22. The first end 21 is generally connected to a water inlet pipe 80, which is connected to a tap water source or a water storage container 90.

[0024] The self-priming pump 30 includes a first end 31 and a second end 32. During operation, it pumps water from the first end 31 to the second end 32. The first end 31 is connected to the second end 22 of the water inlet valve, and the second end 32 is connected to the breather 10, thereby supplying water to the breather 10 and thus providing water to the dishwasher. Typically, the self-priming pump operates with the water storage container 90 as the water source, providing power for the dishwasher's water intake.

[0025] The respirator 10 has a water inlet channel inside, which is used to supply fresh water to the dishwasher. A first end 11 and a second end 12 are provided outside the respirator 10, communicating with the water inlet channel. The first end 11 is connected to the second end 32 of the self-priming pump, allowing water output from the second end 32 to enter the water inlet channel of the respirator 10.

[0026] In this embodiment, the flow meter 13 is installed on the respirator 10 and is integrated with the respirator 10. The flow meter 13 is located at the first end 11 of the water inlet channel and is connected to the water inlet channel of the respirator 10, thereby being able to detect the flow rate entering the respirator 10.

[0027] The flow meter 13 can detect the water flow of the respirator 10. On the one hand, the water flow of the respirator 10 can be obtained to determine the amount of water input to the dishwasher. On the other hand, it can also be determined whether the dishwasher is normally fed with water based on the flow parameters of the flow meter 13.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the dishwasher is working, two water sources can be selected. First, the water inlet pipe 80 can be directly connected to the first end 21 of the water inlet valve and the tap water source, using tap water as the water source; second, the water inlet pipe 80 can be connected to the first end 21 of the water inlet valve and the water storage container 90, using the water storage container 90 as the water source, which can be used in scenarios where it is inconvenient to connect to tap water.

[0029] When the dishwasher starts to take in water, the water inlet valve 20 opens. If the water inlet valve 20 is connected to a tap water source, the tap water source itself has water pressure and will automatically flow into the dishwasher. At the same time, the flow meter 13 can detect the water inflow, and the dishwasher takes in water normally.

[0030] When the dishwasher starts to take in water, the water inlet valve 20 opens. If the water storage container 90 is connected as a water source, the water storage container 90 itself has no water pressure and cannot actively take in water. At this time, the flow meter 13 cannot detect the flow count, and then the dishwasher will automatically turn on the self-priming pump 30, using the self-priming pump 30 to increase the pressure to suck the water in the water storage container 90 into the dishwasher, and the dishwasher will take in water normally. If the flow meter 13 still cannot detect the flow count after the self-priming pump 30 is pressurized, an alarm will be issued, which is generally due to a lack of water in the water storage container 90 or a fault in the water inlet pipe of the dishwasher.

[0031] Furthermore, to reduce water hardness, the dishwasher also includes a water softener. This softener softens incoming water, reducing water hardness and minimizing scale buildup. The softener 40 includes a first end 41 and a second end 42. Fresh water is fed into the softener through the first end 41, flows through the softener 40, and is softened through the second end 42.

[0032] The first end 41 of the water softener is connected to the second end 12 of the water inlet channel of the breather 10, and the second end 42 of the water softener is connected to the water cup 50, so as to supply water to the inner tank of the dishwasher.

[0033] In this embodiment, a water cup 50 is integrally formed with the inner tank base 70 of the dishwasher, collecting water from the inner tank. Water output from the second end 12 of the water inlet channel of the breather 10 enters the water cup 50, supplying washing water to the inner tank. Components of the dishwasher, such as the water inlet valve 20, self-priming pump 30, and water softener 40, are all mounted on the lower portion of the inner tank base 7.

[0034] In this embodiment, a first water pipe 61, a second water pipe 62, and a third water pipe 63 are used to connect the water inlet valve 20, the self-priming pump 30, the water softener 40, and the inner tank water cup 50. Specifically, the first water pipe 61 has two ends connected to the second end 22 of the water inlet valve and the first end 31 of the self-priming pump; the second water pipe 62 has two ends connected to the second end 32 of the self-priming pump and the first end 11 of the water inlet channel of the respirator 10; the second end 12 of the water inlet channel of the respirator 10 is relatively close to the first end 41 of the water softener and can be directly connected; the third water pipe 63 has two ends connected to the second end 42 of the water softener and the inner tank water cup 50.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, certain improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
