Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of dishwashers, in particular to a dishwasher with a condensing structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a common household appliance, the main function of the dishwasher is to clean and dry tableware. In recent years, dishwashers have developed rapidly. The optimization of the dishwasher at the present stage is often only focused on the cleaning effect, and the optimization of the treatment of steam in the dishwasher is missing. Generally, the dishwasher heats water into steam during the cleaning process to achieve the purpose of cleaning stubborn stains.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In the following, the present application will be further described in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments described below or the technical features thereof can be combined in any manner to form new embodiments without conflict.

[0024] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that for the orientation words, such as the terms "center", "transverse", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc. indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and cannot be understood as limiting the specific protection scope of the present application.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence.

[0026] The terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of the present application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to only those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0027] One aspect of the present application provides a dishwasher with a condensation structure, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , wherein a preferred embodiment includes a condensation module 1, a breather 2 and an inner tank 3; the breather 2 is installed on the inner tank 3, and the breather 2 is provided with a breathing port 21 and a breathing cavity 200, the breathing port 21 is communicated with the inside of the inner tank 3 through the breathing cavity 200, so that the steam in the inner tank 3 passes through the breathing port 21 into the breathing cavity 200. The condensation module 1 is installed above the breather 2, and the condensation module 1 is provided with a condensation channel 100 and a gas outlet connector 13 communicated with the condensation channel 100, part of the condensation channel 100 extends into the breathing cavity 200, so that the condensation channel 100 is communicated with the breathing cavity 200.

[0028] It can be understood that since the length of the gas outlet connector 13 is short, if the steam is directly discharged through the gas outlet connector 13, a large amount of water droplets may be condensed on the side wall of the inner tank 3 and produce odor; based on this, a gas guide pipe can be installed on the gas outlet connector 13, and the end of the gas guide pipe away from the gas outlet connector 13 is installed on the lower part of the inner tank 3 and communicated with the exhaust hole on the dishwasher, so as to realize the centralized discharge of the steam.

[0029] Further, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the gas outlet joint 13 is arranged obliquely downward, ensuring that the gas guide pipe installed on the gas outlet joint 13 has no corner, avoiding steam accumulation in the gas guide pipe, and improving the steam discharge speed.

[0030] It should be noted that the steam first enters the breathing cavity 200 through the breathing port 21, then is condensed through the condensation channel 100, and finally is discharged through the gas outlet joint 13; therefore, the transmission route from the breathing port 21 to the gas outlet joint 13 is arranged in a sealed manner to prevent steam leakage during transmission.

[0031] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The condensation module 1 includes a base 11 and a cover plate 12; the base 11 and the cover plate 12 are both provided with recesses, and the condensation channel 100 is formed by the base 11 and the cover plate 12 through the recesses at the corresponding positions. The base 11 is provided with a mounting portion 110, and the side wall of the mounting portion 110 cooperates with the inner wall of the base 11 to form a shunt cavity 111; one end of the shunt cavity 111 is in communication with the condensation channel 100, and the other end is in communication with the gas outlet joint 13; so that the steam located on both sides of the condensation channel 100 can flow to the gas outlet joint 13 through the shunt cavity 111.

[0032] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 One side of the base 11 and the cover plate 12 for forming the condensation channel 100 is provided with a plurality of condensation strips 101, and a condensation plate 102 is installed inside the condensation channel 100; the condensation strip 100 is used to limit the condensation plate 102 to avoid shaking of the condensation plate 102. The condensation strip 101 is perpendicular to the condensation channel 100, and the condensation plate 102 is parallel to the condensation channel 100; in this way, the maximum acting surface between the steam and the condensation strip 101 is ensured, and the condensation plate 102 further improves the condensation efficiency of the condensation module 1 on the steam.

[0033] It should be noted that, in order to improve the condensation effect, the materials of the condensation strip 101 and the condensation plate 102 are both metal.

[0034] It should be understood that, due to the small space in the condensation channel 100, if the steam is transmitted only by its own diffusion function, a large amount of steam will stay in the condensation channel 100, and the air pressure in the condensation channel 100 will increase, which is not conducive to the entry of subsequent steam.

[0035] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the installation part 110 is provided with an exhaust fan 14, the air inlet of the exhaust fan 14 is communicated with the condensation channel 100, and the air outlet is communicated with the air outlet joint 13; in this way, the steam after passing through the condensation channel 100 can be discharged as soon as possible, effectively reducing the air pressure in the condensation channel 100, and ensuring that the steam in the breathing cavity 200 can continuously enter the condensation channel 100.

[0036] It should be understood that the condensed water in the condensation channel 100 will slide into the breathing cavity 200 under the action of gravity, and then enter the inner container 3 through the breathing port 21; the structure of the breathing cavity 200 is relatively complex, which may cause part of the condensed water to be hindered and unable to flow to the breathing port 21.

[0037] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 The breathing cavity 200 is provided with a first baffle 22 and a second baffle 23, the first baffle 22 is arranged above the breathing port 21, one end of the first baffle 22 is connected with the side wall of the respirator 2, and the other end is bent downward; the second baffle 23 is arranged below the first baffle 22, the second baffle 23 is arranged obliquely, the higher end of the second baffle 23 is close to the first baffle 22, and the lower end of the second baffle 23 is arranged at the lower part of the breathing port 21.

[0038] It can be understood that when the condensed water drops to the first baffle 22, the condensed water flows downward along the bending part of the first baffle 22 and drops on the second baffle 23, and then flows to the breathing port 21 under the guidance of the second baffle 23; in this way, the condensed water can flow accurately to the breathing port 21, avoiding the condensed water remaining in the breathing cavity 200 and breeding bacteria.

[0039] Further, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 The breathing port 21 is provided with a flow dividing piece 210, the flow dividing piece 210 is provided with honeycomb holes, compared with the round holes in the prior art, the honeycomb holes not only have higher structural stability, but also can divide the steam into multiple streams to flow to the breathing cavity 200, thereby improving the flow efficiency of the steam. In addition, according to the principle of aerodynamics, the honeycomb holes adopt a streamline design, which can effectively reduce the air flow resistance, thereby effectively reducing the noise generated when the steam passes through the breathing cavity 200.

[0040] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 The breathing cavity 200 is provided with a guide plate 24, the guide plate 24 extends in an arc shape towards the condensation channel 100, the inner arc of the guide plate 24 is close to the breathing port 21, when the steam enters the breathing cavity 200 from the breathing port 21, it first contacts the guide plate 24, and then flows along the inner arc of the guide plate 24 under the blockage of the guide plate 24, thereby ensuring that the steam can flow to the condensation channel 100 more quickly for condensation.

[0041] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The condensing module 1 is fixedly installed on the inner container 3 through the mounting plate 15, and the condensing module 1 itself will not shake when the steam flows in the condensing channel 100.

[0042] Further, as shown in Figure 2 The condensing module 1 is fixedly installed on the inner container 3 through the mounting plate 15, and the condensing module 1 itself will not shake when the steam flows in the condensing channel 100.

[0043] The above describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and the above-mentioned embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only the principles of the present application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, various changes and improvements can be made to the present application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the claimed present application. The scope of protection claimed by the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
