Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of commercial dishwasher technology, and in particular to a connecting pipe for a cleaning mechanism and a commercial dishwasher. Background Technology

[0002] Commercial dishwashers can be categorized into four main types based on their structure: cabinet type, hood type, basket conveyor type, and belt conveyor type. They reduce the workload of kitchen staff in restaurants, hotels, and government canteens, improve work efficiency, and enhance hygiene. The workflow of a commercial dishwasher consists of two main stages: a main wash and a rinse. The main wash uses high-pressure circulating water to clean food residue and grease from the dishes, while the rinse uses high-temperature purified water to clean and disinfect the dishes after the main wash.

[0003] Water in the main wash tank is drawn out by a high-flow, high-lift main wash pump and sprayed directly onto the surface of the dishes through the main wash spray arm, rinsing and washing away food residue and grease. The main wash water then flows back into the main wash tank, thus achieving recycling.

[0004] Different types and quantities of tableware require different water pressures for rinsing, and the control of water pressure is closely related to the water flow rate entering the spray arm. Chinese Patent No. 202021754468.7 discloses a spray arm structure including an upper spray arm cover and a lower spray arm cover, with the lower cover fixedly connected to the upper cover. A first guide rib divides the inner cavity of the upper cover into two independent main washing chambers and a spray chamber. Water flows into the main washing chamber through the water inlet chamber in the center of the lower cover, causing water to exit from the washing outlet. Water also flows into the spray chamber through the water inlet pipe in the center of the water inlet chamber, causing water to exit from the washing outlet and nozzle holes, thus simultaneously achieving rinsing and spraying functions. However, this spray arm cannot easily adjust the water flow rate entering the spray chamber, which can easily lead to water waste or incomplete cleaning when washing different types and quantities of tableware. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings or problems existing in the prior art, this disclosure provides a connecting pipe for a cleaning mechanism. The connecting pipe of the cleaning mechanism has a simple structure and can effectively clean different types and quantities of tableware.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this disclosure to solve the above-mentioned technical problem is as follows: a connecting pipe for a cleaning mechanism, including a water inlet pipe, the water inlet pipe being provided with at least one installation port for the cleaning mechanism to be installed, the water inlet pipe being provided with a fulcrum and an adjusting member, one end of the adjusting member being provided on the fulcrum and being able to swing around the fulcrum at different angles, the other end of the adjusting member being provided at the opening of the installation port, the adjusting member being able to change the water flow rate through the installation port when swinging around the fulcrum.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting member is provided with an arc-shaped concave portion, which is located at the opening of the mounting port.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting member is constructed with a first mounting point and a second mounting point. The first mounting point is connected to the fulcrum, and the adjusting member is limited to the water inlet pipe by the second mounting point.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting member is a sheet-like elongated structure, with the first mounting point located near the end of the adjusting member and the second mounting point located near the arc-shaped concave area.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting port is connected to a connector for connecting a cleaning mechanism.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the connector includes a connecting seat and an annular member. The annular member is sleeved on the outside of the connecting seat, the connecting seat is connected to the mounting port, and the annular member is used to connect the cleaning mechanism.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting seat is provided with an annular recess, and a sealing ring is provided on the annular recess.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the annular member is provided with a connecting portion for connecting to the cleaning mechanism.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the water inlet pipe includes a first pipe and a second pipe that are internally interconnected, with one end of the first pipe and one end of the second pipe connected together, and an installation port located on the second pipe.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the first pipe and the second pipe are integrally formed, the second pipe is a square pipe, and the adjusting member is disposed inside the second pipe.

[0016] Compared to existing products, this product features a fulcrum and an adjusting component on the water inlet pipe. One end of the adjusting component is positioned on the fulcrum and can swing around it at different angles. The other end of the adjusting component is positioned at the opening of the installation port. As the adjusting component swings around the fulcrum, it can change the water flow rate through the installation port. When the adjusting component swings to the desired angle, it is limited on the water inlet pipe, keeping it at the required angle. This ensures the desired water flow rate, effectively rinsing the tableware and avoiding water waste.

[0017] Another object of this disclosure is to provide a commercial dishwasher, including an inner tub, wherein the inner tub is provided with connecting pipes for the cleaning mechanism described above. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this disclosure, the following detailed, clear, and complete description of this disclosure is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it.

[0028] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the disclosure of this utility model, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0029] In the actual operation of commercial dishwashers, different water pressures are often required to rinse the dishes depending on the quantity and type of tableware, and water flow is a crucial factor affecting water pressure. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of this disclosure provides a connecting pipe for a cleaning mechanism, including a water inlet pipe with two mounting ports for the cleaning mechanism. The water inlet pipe also has a fulcrum and an adjusting member 4. One end of the adjusting member 4 is positioned on the fulcrum and can swing around the fulcrum at different angles. The other end of the adjusting member 4 is positioned at the opening of the mounting port. When the adjusting member 4 swings around the fulcrum, it can partially block the opening of the mounting port, thereby changing the water flow rate through the mounting port. When the adjusting member 4 swings to the desired angle, it is limited on the water inlet pipe, maintaining the adjusting member 4 at the desired angle. This ensures the required water flow rate for effective rinsing of tableware, avoiding insufficient water pressure leading to inadequate cleaning or excessive water pressure leading to water waste.

[0030] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the adjusting member 4 is a sheet-like elongated structure. The sheet shape is relatively lightweight, and the elongated structure allows the adjusting member 4 to swing around the fulcrum more easily. The adjusting member 4 is provided with an arc-shaped concave 5, which is located at the opening of the mounting port. Changes in the water flow rate at the mounting port are caused by the arc-shaped concave 5 blocking the opening. The arc-shaped concave 5 is designed to prevent significant impact from water pressure on the adjusting member 4 when the mounting port is blocked. This structure greatly mitigates this impact, making the adjusting member 4 work more stably and reliably. For convenient connection to the water inlet pipe, the adjusting member 4 is constructed with a first mounting point 6 and a second mounting point 7. The first mounting point 6 is connected to the fulcrum. When the adjusting member 4 swings to the desired angle, the second mounting point 7 limits the adjusting member 4 to the water inlet pipe. It should be noted that the water pressure and flow rate of the cleaning mechanism are often not constant. When the water pressure or flow rate of the cleaning mechanism needs to be adjusted, simply adjust the swing angle of the adjusting component 4 manually. After adjusting to the required angle, the adjusting component 4 is then fixed on the water inlet pipe by the second mounting point 7. The adjustment is very simple and convenient. Preferably, the first mounting point 6 is located near the end of the adjusting component 4, and the second mounting point 7 is located near the arc-shaped concave 5. This is because the arc-shaped concave 5 experiences the greatest water impact force. The second mounting point 7 is the point for fixing the adjusting component 4 on the water inlet pipe. The location of the second mounting point 7 near the arc-shaped concave 5 allows the adjusting component 4 to withstand greater water pressure impact, thereby making the operation of the adjusting component 4 more stable.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 4-6As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the mounting port is connected to a connector 3, which is used to connect the cleaning mechanism. The connector 3 is located on the outside of the water inlet pipe, and the adjusting member 4 is located inside the water inlet pipe. This does not occupy additional installation space, making the structure of the cleaning mechanism more compact.

[0032] Furthermore, the connector 3 includes a connecting seat 9 and an annular member 8. The annular member 8 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting seat 9, and the connecting seat 9 is connected to the mounting port. The annular member 8 is used to connect the cleaning mechanism. Preferably, the connecting seat 9 is provided with an annular recess 11, and a sealing ring 10 is provided on the annular recess, so that the sealing performance of the entire connector 3 is better after the connecting seat 9 and the annular member 8 are connected. The specific structure of the connector 3 is prior art and will not be described in detail here. The upper end of the annular member 8 is provided with a connecting part, which is used to connect the cleaning mechanism.

[0033] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the water inlet pipe includes a first pipe 1 and a second pipe 2 that are internally interconnected. One end of the first pipe 1 and one end of the second pipe 2 are connected, and an installation port is provided on the second pipe 2. Specifically, the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 are integrally formed. The first pipe 1 is a circular pipe, and the second pipe 2 is a square pipe. An adjusting member 4 is disposed inside the second pipe 2. Making the second pipe 2 a square pipe makes it easier to set the connector 3 and connect the cleaning mechanism. More importantly, the square pipe design facilitates the installation of the adjusting member 4 and the swinging of the adjusting member 4.

[0034] Another embodiment of this disclosure discloses a commercial dishwasher, including an inner tub, in which a connecting pipe for the cleaning mechanism described above is provided, so that the commercial dishwasher can conveniently and effectively clean tableware.

[0035] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the present application and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to the present application without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
