[0080] The content of the present application will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0081] Figure 3 The drying module D according to the present application is shown. The drying module D can be applied to various devices requiring dehumidification, such as drying machines, washing and drying integrated machines, clothes dryers, dehumidifiers, tableware processing devices H, etc. For the convenience of description, the present application is exemplified by applying the drying module D to the tableware processing device H, which can be a dishwasher, and when the drying module D is applied to other devices, it can be analogized.
[0082] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The utensil treatment device H comprises a cleaning cabin H1 and the above-mentioned drying module D. The cleaning cabin H1 is in communication with the moisture absorption passage air inlet D21 and the moisture absorption passage air outlet D22 to form a circulating moisture absorption airflow in the cleaning cabin H1 and the moisture absorption passage D2.
[0083] The drying module D comprises a moisture absorption and removal component D1, a moisture absorption passage D2 and a moisture removal passage D3. The moisture absorption and removal component D1 comprises a moisture absorption runner assembly D11, a runner housing D12 and a runner driving mechanism D13. The moisture absorption passage D2 is provided with a moisture absorption passage air inlet D21, a moisture absorption passage air outlet D22 and a moisture absorption passage fan D23. The moisture removal passage is provided with a moisture removal fluid driving unit D33, a moisture removal heating assembly D34 and a moisture removal condensing assembly D35. In addition, a moisture absorption heating assembly, a moisture absorption condensing assembly and / or a moisture absorption filtering assembly, etc. can be optionally arranged inside the moisture absorption passage D2, and a moisture removal filtering assembly can be optionally arranged inside the moisture removal passage D3.
[0084] The hot and humid airflow in the cleaning cabin H1 enters the moisture absorption passage D2 through the moisture absorption passage air inlet. When the moisture absorption passage fan is started, the airflow circulates in the cleaning cabin H1 and the drying module D to form a circulating moisture absorption airflow. The moisture absorption passage fan sucks the humid gas from the cleaning cabin H1 into the moisture absorption passage air inlet of the drying module D and discharges it into the moisture absorption area D1211 between the moisture absorption runner assembly D11 and the bottom of the runner housing D12 after passing through itself. The humid gas becomes dry gas after passing through the wheel disc D111 in the moisture absorption runner assembly D11 from bottom to top, and the dry gas reenters the cleaning cabin H1 through the moisture absorption passage air outlet. This cycle realizes the drying of the inner cavity of the cleaning cabin H1.
[0085] In some embodiments, the drying module D is installed on the upper part or the side part or the bottom part of the cleaning cabin H1.
[0086] The drying module D is arranged on the upper part of the cleaning cabin H1, which can effectively utilize the space between the embedded cabinet countertop and the upper surface of the utensil treatment device H, reduce the size of the embedded direction of the machine body to adapt to different countertop designs, and also realize a larger capacity of the cleaning cabin H1, and realize the cleaning of more sets of standard tableware in a smaller machine body.
[0087] In addition, the drying module D can also be installed on the side part or the bottom part of the cleaning cabin H1. In some embodiments, the side part includes the left side, the right side and the rear side, i.e. the drying module D can also be installed on the left side of the cleaning cabin H1 or the right side of the cleaning cabin H1 or the rear side of the cleaning cabin H1.
[0088] In some embodiments, the cleaning chamber H1 has a cleaning air inlet H2 and a cleaning air outlet H3, the cleaning air inlet H2 is in communication with the dehumidification air outlet D21 of the dehumidification channel D2, and the cleaning air outlet H3 is in communication with the dehumidification air inlet D21 of the dehumidification channel D2. The cleaning air inlet H2 is arranged at the side or bottom of the cleaning chamber H1.
[0089] The cleaning air outlet H3 introduces the humid hot air in the cleaning chamber H1 into the dehumidification channel D2, and the cleaning air inlet H2 recirculates the dry hot air dehumidified by the dehumidification runner assembly D11 into the cleaning chamber H1 to dry the dishes in the cleaning chamber H1 by the dry hot air. In order to improve the material exchange efficiency of the dishes in the cleaning chamber H1, the cleaning air inlet H2 is optionally arranged below the basket, i.e. the cleaning air inlet H2 can be arranged at the side or bottom of the cleaning chamber H1. If the cleaning air inlet H2 is arranged at the side of the cleaning chamber H1, it is only required to ensure that the cleaning air inlet H2 is arranged below the basket.
[0090] The basket (also referred to as a dish rack) is arranged in the cleaning chamber H1 and is used to carry dishes such as bowls, plates, and cups. The basket can be arranged in multiple groups and have different geometric shapes to carry dishes of different specifications. The material of the basket can be plastic, metal, or inorganic non-metallic material, or a combination of multiple materials (e.g. plastic embedded with metal or inorganic non-metallic material wrapped around metal).
[0091] In some embodiments, the dish processing device H further comprises a sensor H4, which can be a temperature sensor for detecting the real-time temperature value of the cleaning chamber H1. The controller is configured to control the drying module D to start after the dish processing device H stops washing and completes draining. In some embodiments, the power of the dehumidification and heating member D343 or the power of the auxiliary heating element can be adjusted according to the real-time temperature value to obtain a preset temperature in the cleaning chamber H1. The auxiliary heating element can be arranged in the dehumidification channel D2, and the airflow heated by the auxiliary heating element is blown into the cleaning chamber H1.
[0092] In some embodiments, the temperature in the cleaning chamber H1 is adjusted by the auxiliary heating element, and when the real-time temperature value in the cleaning chamber H1 is greater than or equal to a set temperature value, it indicates that the cleaning chamber H1 has reached the drying condition, and the drying module D can be controlled to start to dry the dishes in the cleaning chamber H1. In some other embodiments, low-temperature or cold air drying of the dishes can be used, i.e. the auxiliary heating element is turned off or removed, and only the circulating dehumidification airflow formed between the drying module D and the cleaning chamber H1 is used to remove the residual moisture on the dishes. At this time, the residual heat of the previous washing program can be fully utilized to remove the moisture.
[0093] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the start-up condition of the drying module D has two conditions, after the end of the washing mode, and the real-time temperature value reaches the drying condition, the drying module D starts, and if any one of the two conditions is not reached, the drying module D does not start.
[0094] In some embodiments, a heater is arranged in the cleaning cabin H1, which can heat the air in the cleaning cabin H1 to increase the energy in the cleaning cabin H1, thereby increasing the temperature value, so that the real-time temperature value can reach the set temperature value. The heater can be in various forms, such as heat pump, semiconductor heater, vortex tube or electric heating wire, etc. Of course, the energy absorbed by the condensation module can also be transferred back to the cleaning cabin H1 to achieve the purpose of energy saving and efficient drying.
[0095] In some other embodiments, the sensor H4 can also be a humidity sensor, which is used to detect the real-time humidity value of the cleaning cabin H1, and the controller is used to control the drying module D to stop under the condition that the real-time humidity value is less than or equal to the set humidity value.
[0096] When the real-time humidity value is less than or equal to the set humidity value, it means that the humidity value in the cleaning cabin H1 at that time is small, and the tableware in the cleaning cabin H1 has been dried, so the drying module D can be controlled to stop. For example, the tableware in the cleaning cabin H1 can be directly judged according to the sensor data or identified through appropriate logic and combined with the sensor data.
[0097] In addition, the following sensors H4 can also be provided, including but not limited to particulate matter sensor, conductivity sensor, speed sensor, pressure sensor, etc. It should be noted that the setting position of the sensor H4 can not be specifically limited, and can be arranged in the moisture absorption channel D2, or in the moisture discharge channel D3, close to the moisture discharge heating member D343, or close to the moisture discharge condensation assembly D35. For example, when a temperature sensor or a humidity sensor is installed at the air inlet of the moisture absorption channel D2, the sensor can detect the environment of the dishwashing cabin before drying, and automatically match the appropriate program to heat the temperature in the dishwashing cabin to the required temperature before drying. The humidity data outputted can also be used as a reference for the end of the drying program. If an electric conductivity sensor H4 is installed at the air inlet of the moisture absorption channel D2, it can detect the hardness of the dishwashing water, the filling degree of the dishwashing water and the dirtiness, etc., and perform operations such as adjusting the water quality of the dishwashing machine or opening the water inlet valve to supplement water.
[0098] The drying module D comprises a moisture absorption and removal component D1, a moisture absorption channel D2 and a moisture removal channel. The moisture absorption and removal component D1 comprises a moisture absorption runner assembly D11, a runner housing D12 and a runner driving mechanism D13. In the moisture absorption channel D2, a moisture absorption channel air inlet D21, a moisture absorption channel air outlet D22 and a moisture absorption channel fan D23 are arranged. In the moisture removal channel D3, a moisture removal fluid driving unit D33, a moisture removal heating assembly D34 and a moisture removal condensing assembly D35 are arranged. In addition, a moisture absorption heating assembly, a moisture absorption condensing assembly and / or a moisture absorption filtering assembly can be optionally arranged inside the moisture absorption channel D2, and a moisture removal filtering assembly can be optionally arranged inside the moisture removal channel D3.
[0099] The moisture absorption heating assembly is configured to heat the moisture absorption airflow to improve the drying efficiency. The moisture absorption heating assembly is arranged near the moisture absorption channel air outlet of the drying module D, so that the air that has been dried by the moisture absorption heating assembly can be heated, thereby avoiding the condensation of the evaporated moisture on the inner wall of the moisture absorption channel D2. The moisture absorption heating assembly can determine whether to heat and the heating power according to the detection value of the temperature sensor.
[0100] The moisture absorption condensing assembly is configured to additionally condense and dehumidify the moisture absorption airflow. The moisture absorption condensing assembly can be arranged near the moisture absorption channel air inlet of the drying module D, so that the hot and humid air from the cleaning cabin can be pre-dehumidified, thereby improving the drying efficiency.
[0101] The moisture absorption filtering assembly is arranged upstream of the moisture absorption and removal component D1 in the moisture absorption channel D2, especially at the moisture absorption channel air inlet, so as to filter the impurities in the moisture absorption airflow, thereby protecting the moisture absorption channel D2, especially the moisture absorption and removal component D1, from being contaminated by impurities.
[0102] The drying module D can be assembled as a pre-assembled module before the whole machine of the dish treatment device H is assembled. The pre-assembled module can comprise only one integrally configured module lower housing and a plurality of separately arranged upper housings, and the module lower housing and the upper housings jointly form a plurality of chambers configured to accommodate one or more of the functional assemblies, such as the moisture absorption runner assembly D11, the moisture absorption channel fan, the moisture removal fluid driving unit D33, the runner driving mechanism D13, the moisture absorption heating assembly, the moisture absorption condensing assembly, the moisture removal heating assembly D34, the moisture removal condensing assembly D35. Such integrated modular manufacturing on the one hand greatly simplifies the assembly and thus improves the assembly efficiency, and on the other hand saves or shortens the corresponding connecting pipelines, thereby making the structure of the drying module D more compact.
[0103] In the case that the drying module D has only one lower housing of one-piece construction, a plurality of, preferably four, lugs are integrally formed or fixed at the periphery of the lower housing. It should be noted that the drying module D does not come into contact with the washing chamber in the assembled position. Thereby, the functional modules in the drying module D are protected from the strong influence of the vibrations of the washing chamber, which is particularly advantageous for the drying module according to the application based on the moisture absorption and removal component D1, since vibrations can cause the wheel discs D111 in the moisture absorption wheel assembly D11 to not rotate smoothly and thus collide with the wheel housing D12 or the components fixed to the wheel housing D12, and can also cause the seal to fail, thus causing the air flow to escape from the intended flow path.
[0104] As shown in Figure 3 , the functional modules are connected to each other and are lapped by the lugs on the top of the dish handling device. In some embodiments, the lugs include at least four, and at least three of the lugs are separately manufactured and then connected to the edges of the functional modules, and at least one other lug is integrally formed with the wheel housing D12 of the moisture absorption and removal component D1. Other numbers of lugs and other forms of connection to the rack can also be envisaged. In summary, the use of lugs to directly fix the functional modules, which have been connected into one whole, to the rack on the one hand facilitates assembly, and on the other hand is also advantageous for reducing the influence of the dish handling device on the drying module D when in operation. It can also be envisaged that the functional modules are fixed to the dish handling device respectively, and it is particularly advantageous to fix the moisture absorption and removal component D1 to the rack.
[0105] In some embodiments, the moisture absorption channel inlet D21 of the moisture absorption channel D2 is in fluid communication with the outlet of the washing chamber of the dish handling device, and the moisture absorption channel outlet D22 of the moisture absorption channel D2 is in fluid communication with the inlet of the washing chamber of the dish handling device. As shown in Figure 4 , the outlet of the moisture absorption channel fan D23 is configured to open in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the moisture absorption wheel assembly D11, and the outlet is in fluid communication with the moisture absorption air inlet formed in the circumferential side wall of the wheel housing D12 by means of the air outlet connection, and thereby in fluid communication with the moisture absorption area D1211 of the wheel housing D12. The moisture absorption air inlet of the wheel housing D12 is arranged on the circumferential side wall of the wheel housing D12 between the moisture absorption wheel assembly D11 and the bottom of the wheel housing D12.
[0106] As shown in Figure 3As shown, the dehumidification passage D3 is configured as an inner circulation passage that is not connected to the outside environment. The air outlet of the dehumidification fluid driving unit D33 is also configured to open along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the moisture absorption runner assembly D11, and the air outlet is in fluid communication with the circumferential side wall D3413 of the dehumidification heating shell D341 of the dehumidification heating assembly D34 by means of the air outlet connecting portion. The dehumidification heating assembly D34 is fixed on the upper surface of the upper runner shell D12U of the runner shell D12 and is configured complementarily with the shape thereof. The dehumidification air flow outlet is configured on the lower end surface wall D3412 of the dehumidification heating assembly shell D341, which is in fluid communication with the dehumidification area D1212 of the moisture absorption runner assembly D11. Thus, a compact drying module D is formed, which is particularly compact in the direction of the rotation axis, which is very advantageous for reducing the height or thickness of the dish processing device H.
[0107] Figure 4 The flow path of the dehumidification air flow in the drying module D according to the present application is schematically shown by arrows. When the dehumidification passage fan D23 is started, the air flow will circulate in the washing cabin H1, the drying module D to form a circulating dehumidification air flow. The dehumidification passage fan D23 sucks the humid air from the washing cabin into the dehumidification passage air inlet D21 of the drying module D and discharges it into the dehumidification area D1211 between the moisture absorption runner assembly D11 and the bottom of the runner shell D12 after passing through itself, the humid air becomes dry gas after passing through the wheel D111 in the moisture absorption runner assembly D11 from bottom to top, and the dry gas reenters the washing cabin H1 by means of the dehumidification passage air outlet D22. This cycle is repeated to achieve drying of the inner cavity of the washing cabin H1.
[0108] Figure 5 The flow path of the dehumidification air flow in the drying module D according to the present application is schematically shown by arrows. When the dehumidification fluid driving unit D33 is started, the air flow will circulate in the dehumidification passage D3 to form a dehumidification air flow. The dehumidification fluid driving unit D33 sucks the dry gas flowing out of the dehumidification condensation assembly D35 and delivers it to the dehumidification heating assembly D34, the heated dry hot gas enters the dehumidification area D1212 and flows through the wheel D111 of the moisture absorption runner assembly D11 from top to bottom, the dry hot gas takes away the moisture in the wheel D111 and becomes a wet hot gas, which is then delivered to the dehumidification condensation assembly D34 arranged downstream of the moisture absorption runner assembly D11 and is dehumidified and condensed there to become dry cold gas again, which is delivered to the moisture absorption runner assembly D11 again. This cycle is repeated to regenerate the wheel D111 of the moisture absorption runner assembly D11, thereby continuously maintaining its dehumidification capacity. Of course, as Figure 4 and Figure 5is an example of the flow direction of the air flow in the moisture absorption passage D2 and the moisture discharge passage. In practice, the air flow in the moisture absorption passage D2 can also pass downward from the upper portion of the wheel disc D111, the air flow in the moisture discharge passage can also pass upward from the lower portion of the wheel disc D111, or simultaneously pass downward from the upper portion or upward from the lower portion of the wheel disc D111. The present application is not limited thereto.
[0109] Figure 6 The moisture absorption and discharge component D1 of the drying module D according to the present application is shown in an exploded view. Figure 7 The moisture absorption runner assembly D11 and the runner lower housing D12L of the drying module D according to the present application are shown in a perspective view. As shown in Figure 6 and 5 The moisture absorption and discharge component D1 includes the moisture absorption runner assembly D11, the runner housing D12, and the runner driving mechanism D13. The runner housing D12 includes the runner upper housing D12U and the runner lower housing D12L, which are fixed to each other to form an internal cavity. The runner housing D12 has a moisture absorption area D1211 and a moisture discharge area D1212, the moisture absorption area D1211 is in communication with the moisture absorption passage D2, the moisture discharge area D1212 is in communication with the moisture discharge passage D3, the moisture absorption runner assembly D11 is rotatably supported in the internal cavity of the runner housing D12 along its rotation axis and rotates under the driving of the runner driving mechanism D13. The moisture absorption runner assembly D11 is driven at its outer periphery by the runner driving mechanism D13, that is, the runner driving mechanism D13 applies the driving force it outputs to the outer periphery of the moisture absorption runner assembly D11.
[0110] In some embodiments, straight teeth are configured on the outer peripheral surface of the moisture absorption runner assembly D11, and the runner driving mechanism D13 has a pair of driving mechanisms D132 configured as straight gears. The moisture absorption runner assembly D11 and the runner driving mechanism D13, especially the pair of driving mechanisms D132 in some embodiments, are arranged substantially side by side along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the moisture absorption runner assembly D11, that is, radially. The runner housing D12 has a receiving portion for receiving the moisture absorption runner assembly D11 and the runner driving mechanism D13, respectively, that is, they share one runner housing D12.
[0111] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The runner housing D12 is provided with at least two pairs of partitions D121 extending towards each other on the end face inner walls of the runner upper housing D12U and the runner lower housing D12L of the runner housing D12, for separating the internal space of the runner housing D12 into the moisture absorption area D1211 and the moisture discharge area D1212, so that the moisture absorption air flow and the moisture discharge air flow are separated in the internal space of the runner housing D12. A gap is left between the partitions D121 and the wheel disc D111.
[0112] A partition seal D125 is fixed on the surface of the partition D121 facing the wheel D111 of the desiccant wheel assembly D11, and the partition seal D125 is designed to have a small gap with the wheel D111 so as to prevent air flow between the desiccant wheel assembly D11 and the desiccant wheel assembly D12 as much as possible without hindering the rotation of the wheel D111. The gap between the partition seal D125 and the wheel D111 is set to be between 0.2mm and 5mm, which can prevent air flow between the desiccant wheel assembly D11 and the desiccant wheel assembly D12 without hindering the rotation of the wheel D111 in consideration of the general axial runout of the wheel D111. The partition seal D125 is flexible, for example, constructed as foam, silica gel or soft rubber, which is conducive to reducing the risk of damaging the wheel D111 when the axial runout of the wheel D111 is extremely severe. In other alternative embodiments, the partition seal D125 can also be constructed as sealing wool and in contact with the wheel D111 in the assembled state, thereby forming a relatively rotatable contact seal with the wheel D111.
[0113] A partition heat insulating member is also fixed at the surface of the partition D121 facing the wheel D111 of the desiccant wheel assembly D11 so as to reduce the heat diffusion between the desiccant wheel assembly D11 and the desiccant wheel assembly D12, wherein the partition heat insulating member is at least partially covered by the partition seal D125, and the partition seal D125 always has a part closer to the wheel D111 than the partition heat insulating member. A groove for placing the partition heat insulating member is constructed on the side of the partition seal D125 facing the wheel D111, and the groove has a thickness greater than that of the partition heat insulating member, so that the partition seal D125 is closer to the wheel D111. The partition seal D125 and / or the partition heat insulating member has a shape and size matching the edge of the inner cavity surrounded by the partition D121 and the desiccant wheel housing D12 as necessary.
[0114] The partition heat insulating member can be made of thermal or heat insulating materials. However, it is also possible to use less expensive metals or alloys to make the heat insulating member, or to use inorganic non-metallic materials or composite materials to make the heat insulating member. Although the metals or alloys have better thermal conductivity, they can still form a certain heat insulating effect after being covered by the seal. In other embodiments, the material surface with excellent interface reflectivity can also be used to prevent heat transfer outward, so as to form a good heat insulating effect.
[0115] As Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, a partition pressing piece D126 is fixed on the surface of the partition D121 facing the wheel disc D111, which encloses the draining area D1212, and the partition pressing piece D126 has a plurality of spaced protrusions for positioning and pressing the partition sealing piece D125 on the partition D121. Among them, a groove is configured on the side of the partition sealing piece D125 facing the wheel disc D111 for accommodating the partition pressing piece D126, and the thickness of the groove is greater than the thickness of the partition pressing piece D126, so that the partition sealing piece D125 is closer to the wheel disc D111 in the assembled state.
[0116] The partition sealing piece D125 and the partition pressing piece D126 have shapes and sizes matching at least part of the edges of the draining area D1212. The partition pressing piece D126 can also function as a partition heat insulation piece here to reduce heat diffusion between the moisture absorption area D1211 and the draining area D1212. In some embodiments, the partition pressing piece D126 is made of heat insulation material or heat insulation material, but can also be made of metal or alloy which is more cost-effective, or made of inorganic non-metallic material or composite material. Here, although the metal or alloy has better heat conduction performance, it can still form a certain heat insulation effect after being covered by the sealing piece. In other embodiments, the material surface with excellent interface reflectivity can also be used to avoid heat transfer outward to form a good heat insulation effect.
[0117] In some embodiments, the partition pressing piece D126 and the partition heat insulation piece are integrally configured. That is, the partition pressing piece D126 and the partition heat insulation piece are integrally formed.
[0118] The air flow guide piece D127 is also provided in the rotating wheel housing D12, which is arranged along the flow direction of the moisture absorption air flow, for separating the air flow entering the moisture absorption area D1211 into multiple streams to flow through different areas of the moisture absorption rotating wheel assembly D11.
[0119] The air flow guide piece D127 is configured to divide the moisture absorption air flow entering the rotating wheel housing into multiple air flows and make the multiple air flows flow through the wheel disc D111 of the moisture absorption rotating wheel assembly D11 from different areas respectively. The provision of such an air flow guide piece D127 can avoid the moisture absorption air flow entering the moisture absorption area D1211 from gathering in the area outward along the radial direction of the rotating moisture absorption rotating wheel assembly D11, that is, to improve the uniformity of the moisture absorption air flow flowing through the wheel disc D111, thereby improving the moisture absorption efficiency.
[0120] The air flow guide D127 can be provided one or a plurality of them. When the air flow guide D127 is provided one, the air flow guide D127 is provided at one end thereof in the center of the region of the dehumidifying air flow inlet D21 of the dehumidifying air flow of the rotary drum housing D12. It is also conceivable that a plurality of air flow guides D127 are provided, the end portions of which preferably divide the region of the dehumidifying air flow inlet and are preferably arranged substantially uniformly in the entire dehumidifying region D1211. The air flow guide D127 is curvedly configured. The number of the air flow guides D127 is not limited.
[0121] Figure 8 A dehumidifying rotary drum assembly D11 of a drying module D according to the present application is illustrated in an exploded view. In some embodiments, the dehumidifying rotary drum assembly D11 includes a rotary drum D111, an outer peripheral housing member D112, a central housing member D113, a power input member D114, an auxiliary rotation ring D115, a rotary drum seal member D116, an outer peripheral damper member D117, and a central damper member D118.
[0122] The rotary drum D111 is composed of a renewable dehumidifying material. The rotary drum D111 can be configured as a porous structure or composed of a porous material. It can be disc-shaped. In some embodiments, the rotary drum D111 can be made of a fiber having a good dehumidifying ability, such as cotton cloth. The rotary drum D111 has a central hole configured centrally symmetrically along the rotation axis, which is a through hole.
[0123] FIG. 7 exemplarily illustrates a perspective view of the dehumidifying rotary drum assembly D11 and the rotary drum driving mechanism D13 in an engaged state. As Figure 9 shown, the dehumidifying rotary drum assembly D11 is driven at the outer periphery thereof by the rotary drum driving mechanism D13, rather than at the central region. That is, the rotary drum driving mechanism D13 applies the driving force output therefrom to the outer periphery of the dehumidifying rotary drum assembly D11.
[0124] Specifically, the dehumidifying rotary drum assembly D11 includes a power input member D114 for introducing a power to rotate the dehumidifying rotary drum assembly D11 from the rotary drum driving mechanism D13. The power input member D114 is integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral housing member D112 of the dehumidifying rotary drum assembly D11. Of course, a separately manufactured power input member D114 can be fixed on the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral housing member D112. The power input member D114 is formed of a tooth structure uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, which is a straight tooth in some embodiments.
[0125] The rotation driving mechanism D13 comprises a rotation driving motor D131 and a counter driving mechanism D132. The output shaft of the rotation driving motor D131 is non-rotatably connected to the counter driving mechanism D132, for example by means of a key groove fit or the like. The counter driving mechanism D132 is in turn configured to match the power input D114 of the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11. In the embodiment shown, the counter driving mechanism D132 is formed by a spur gear which is capable of engaging with the spur gear of the power input D114.
[0126] The moisture absorption rotation assembly D11 and the rotation driving mechanism D13 are arranged substantially side by side along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11, i.e. radially. In some embodiments, the power input D114 of the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11 and the counter driving mechanism D132 of the rotation driving mechanism D13 are arranged in the same plane extending perpendicular to the rotation axis. The rotation driving motor D131 of the rotation driving mechanism D13 is arranged below the counter driving mechanism D132, and in some embodiments the output shaft of the rotation driving motor D131 extends along a direction parallel to the rotation axis. This results in a compact structure of the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11. The rotation driving mechanism D13 can be arranged entirely outside the radial dimension of the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11, thereby avoiding impeding the flow of air through the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11.
[0127] In other embodiments not shown, the power input D114 can also be configured as other types of teeth, such as helical teeth or curved teeth. For example, curved teeth can also be configured at the end face of the outer edge of the outer peripheral housing part D112 of the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11, and the counter driving mechanism D132 is correspondingly configured as a bevel gear. In such embodiments, the output shaft of the rotation driving motor D131 is arranged perpendicular to the rotation axis of the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11.
[0128] In other embodiments not shown, the power input D114 can also be formed by a smooth surface or a circumferentially uniformly distributed profile groove, and the counter driving mechanism D132 is correspondingly configured as a frictional belt pulley, for example a flat belt pulley, or an engaging belt pulley, for example a toothed belt pulley. When the counter driving mechanism D132 is configured as a frictional belt pulley, the power input D114 can be configured as a smooth surface with a surface microstructure for increasing the friction.
[0129] In other embodiments not shown, the rotation driving mechanism D13 can also be arranged within the radial dimension of the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11. For example, the rotation driving mechanism D13 is arranged coaxially with the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11. In particular, the power output of the rotation driving mechanism D13 is connected to the rotation shaft of the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11.
[0130] In other not shown embodiments, the power input D114 is formed by a friction surface, and the runner drive D13 drives the power input D114 in rotation by friction. That is, the runner drive D13 and the power input D114 are driven in a similar way as a friction wheel.
[0131] In other not shown embodiments, the edge of the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 is provided with a magnetic material to drive the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 in motion by a moving magnetic field.
[0132] In other not shown embodiments, the power input D114 can also be formed by a sprocket tooth, and the counter drive D132 is correspondingly formed as a chain wheel.
[0133] As Figure 6 shown in the illustrated embodiment, the runner drive D13 and the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 share a runner housing D12. In other words, the runner housing D12 has a receiving portion for each of the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 and the runner drive D13. This arrangement is particularly advantageous for the sealing of the moisture absorbing and the moisture discharging air flow, since the escape of the moisture absorbing and the moisture discharging air flow out of the runner housing D12 can be prevented by the overall peripheral sealing of the runner housing D12. Here, a baffle and optionally a seal are provided at the receiving portion of the runner housing D12 for the runner drive D13 to block the air flow from the receiving portion for the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 to the receiving portion for the runner drive D13, thereby protecting the runner drive D13 from moisture.
[0134] It is of course also conceivable that the runner drive D13 and the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 have separate housings, which are fixed to each other. In such embodiments, additional seals are required to seal the position at which the housings of the runner drive D13 and the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 are fixed to each other.
[0135] The runner drive D13 arranged at the outer periphery of the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 can very flexibly make use of the space at the periphery of the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11, reducing the axial dimension of the moisture absorbing and discharging component D1, so that it is overall flatter, which can contribute to reducing the overall height or thickness of the dish handling device H. Moreover, in such embodiments, there is no longer a drive structure in the central region of the runner disk D111 inside the runner housing D12, which obstructs the air flow, so that it is also advantageous for the air flow to be guided more evenly through the runner disk.
[0136] Since the driving force is applied at the outer periphery of the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11, the force on the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11 is non-centrally symmetrical. In order to enable the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11 to rotate more smoothly when driven on the periphery, the peripheral roller mechanism D122 and / or the bottom roller mechanism D123 can be used to assist its smooth rotation.
[0137] like Figure 7 As shown, multiple, specifically four, bottom roller mechanisms D123 are also provided on the inner bottom wall of the roller housing D12. Each bottom roller mechanism D123 includes a bottom roller and a bottom roller support. The bottom roller is rotatably supported on the bottom roller support, which is arranged on the roller housing D12. Viewed radially along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11, the bottom rollers are arranged within the radial dimension of the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11. Viewed axially along a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11, the bottom rollers are arranged between the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11 and the roller housing D12, and the distance between the bottom rollers and the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11 is less than the minimum distance between the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11 and the roller housing D12. In the illustrated embodiment, the bottom rollers protrude at least partially from the entire inner bottom wall of the roller housing D12 towards the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11.
[0138] The bottom roller mechanism D123 is constructed to be non-deformable or only slightly deformable. The circumferential surface of the bottom roller is smoothly constructed or has an uneven surface structure. The bottom roller support can be integrally formed to or attached to the inner bottom surface of the roller housing D12. The bottom roller support can be constructed as a hollow part, and the assembled bottom roller is partially accommodated in the inner cavity of the hollow part. A groove for accommodating the bottom roller mechanism D123 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the roller housing D12, and the bottom roller support is fixed in the groove, or the bottom roller support is directly formed as a groove structure on the inner bottom surface of the roller housing D12.
[0139] In some embodiments, the bottom roller bracket is fixed to the roller housing D12 by means of a fixing mechanism, which is configured to adjust the axial distance between the bottom roller bracket and the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11 in the initial installation position. Figure 10A top view of the lower rotary shell D12L with the peripheral roller mechanism D122 is shown by way of example. A plurality of peripheral roller mechanisms D122 are provided at the inner periphery of the rotary shell D12. The peripheral roller mechanism D122 includes a peripheral roller D1221 and a peripheral roller support D1222, in some embodiments the peripheral roller D1221 is rotatably supported on the peripheral roller support D1222 and the peripheral roller support D1222 is provided at the inner periphery of the rotary shell D12. In the axial direction parallel to the rotation axis of the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11, i.e. in the axial direction, the peripheral roller D1221 is arranged within the axial dimension of the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11, i.e. the peripheral roller D1221 is arranged within the thickness of the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11. In the radial direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11, i.e. in the radial direction, the peripheral roller D1221 is arranged between the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11 and the rotary shell D12, and the peripheral roller D1221 is capable of being in rolling contact with the outer peripheral surface of the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11 at least for part of the time during the rotation of the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11. In some embodiments, the peripheral roller D1221 at least partially protrudes from the entire inner peripheral wall of the inner periphery of the rotary shell D12 towards the rotation axis.
[0140] As shown in Figure 7 the inner periphery of the lower rotary shell D12L is configured in a stepped manner, and the peripheral roller support D1222 is provided on the end surface of the step extending in the radial direction perpendicular to the rotation axis, and the peripheral roller D1221 is rotatably supported on the peripheral roller support D1222. In this embodiment, the assembled peripheral roller D1221 at least partially protrudes from the entire inner peripheral wall of the inner periphery of the rotary shell D12 towards the rotation axis, and also protrudes from the peripheral surface of the step. In this embodiment, the peripheral surface of the step forms the rotary shell seal D124, i.e. the rotary shell seal D124 is formed by the inner wall of the rotary shell D12 itself, which forms a contact seal with the rotary seal D116 of the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11. In other embodiments, the rotary shell seal D124 can also be separately formed and installed on the structure of the inner wall of the rotary shell D12 or integrally formed on the inner wall of the rotary shell D12. Of course, it is also conceivable that the assembled peripheral roller D1221 only protrudes from the inner peripheral wall of the rotary shell D12 in the axial height thereof, and can not be the most protruding structure on the inner periphery of the rotary shell D12, as long as the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11 is capable of being in rolling contact therewith at least for part of the time during the rotation.
[0141] In some embodiments, the runner seal D116 is formed by a surface structure integral with or on the outer surface of the outer periphery of the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 and / or the runner housing seal D124 is formed by a surface structure integral with or on the inner surface of the runner housing D12. The runner seal D116 and / or the runner housing seal D124 are formed by a separately manufactured seal, such as a sealing strip, a sealing soft rubber, etc. For example, in some embodiments, the runner seal D116 is formed by a sealing strip fixed on the outer periphery of the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 and the runner housing seal D124 is formed by the inner periphery of the runner housing D12 itself. In other embodiments, the runner seal D116 is formed by the outer periphery of the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 itself and the runner housing seal D124 is formed by a sealing strip fixed on the inner periphery of the runner housing D12. In yet other embodiments, both the runner seal D116 and the runner housing seal D124 are formed by a sealing strip. In some embodiments, the runner seal D116 and the runner housing seal D124 contact each other in a relatively rotatable manner with their surfaces extending parallel to the rotation axis and / or with their surfaces extending perpendicular to the rotation axis.
[0142] For example, in some embodiments, the runner seal D116 and the runner housing seal D124 are arranged side by side in the same plane along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis such that the runner seal D116 and the runner housing seal D124 contact each other in a relatively rotatable manner with their opposing peripheral surfaces. In other embodiments, the runner seal D116 and the runner housing seal D124 are arranged offset along the rotation axis but next to each other such that the runner seal D116 and the runner housing seal D124 contact each other in a relatively rotatable manner with their opposing end surfaces. In some embodiments, multiple sets of runner seal D116 and runner housing seal D124 are provided that contact each other in a relatively rotatable manner, wherein the sets of runner seal D116 and runner housing seal D124 are arranged offset from each other to form a redundant seal.
[0143] In some embodiments, the multiple sets of runner seal D116 and runner housing seal D124 are all arranged offset from each other along the direction of the rotation axis. In other embodiments, at least one of the multiple sets of runner seal D116 and runner housing seal D124 can also be arranged between an end surface of the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 and the inner top surface or the inner bottom surface of the runner housing D12.
[0144] In some embodiments, a plurality of rotary sealings D116 and / or a plurality of rotary housing sealings D124 are provided, wherein one rotary sealing D116 is in contactable rotary sealing relationship with a plurality of rotary housing sealings, or one rotary housing sealing D124 is in contactable rotary sealing relationship with a plurality of rotary sealings D116.
[0145] Thus, when the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11 is radially offset, the circumferential roller mechanism D122 functions as a stop for the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11 in the form of a rolling contact, thereby assisting the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11 in its set rotational path without causing significant rotational resistance, in particular preventing it from directly hitting the rotary housing D12 itself, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11.
[0146] In the illustrated embodiment, in the initial installation position, the circumferential roller mechanism D122, in particular the circumferential roller D1221 in some embodiments, is in rolling contact, preferably without mutual compression, with the outer circumferential surface of the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11.
[0147] Thus, the circumferential roller mechanism D122 can always assist the rotation of the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11 without significantly increasing the rotational resistance thereof, preventing the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11 from wobbling radially during rotation, thereby ensuring a smooth rotation thereof.
[0148] In other embodiments, in the initial installation position, there is a small gap between the circumferential roller mechanism D122, in particular the circumferential roller D1221 in some embodiments, and the outer circumferential surface of the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11, such that the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11 does not come into contact with the circumferential roller mechanism D122 when rotating around the set rotational axis, but only comes into rolling contact with the circumferential roller mechanism D122 when the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11 is offset in the radial direction, i.e. perpendicular to the rotational axis. The circumferential roller mechanism D122 can thus protect the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11 from directly colliding with the rotary housing D12.
[0149] The circumferential roller mechanism D122 can be configured to be deformable. In the illustrated embodiment, the circumferential roller D1221 in the circumferential roller mechanism D12 is configured to be flexibly deformable. This enables the circumferential roller D122 to cushion the offset of the moisture absorbing rotary assembly D11 in the radial direction when such an offset occurs.
[0150] In additional or alternative embodiments, the circumferential roller support D1222 in the circumferential roller mechanism D122 can be configured to be deflectable, so that when the absorbent roller assembly D11 is deflected in the radial direction, the circumferential roller support D1222 is deflected under compression, so that the circumferential roller D1221 changes its distance from the rotation axis or the set rotation axis of the absorbent roller assembly D11. In one embodiment, the circumferential roller support D1222 is itself configured to be elastically deformable. In another embodiment, the circumferential roller support D1222 is configured to be able to move as a whole along a sliding track to change its distance from the rotation axis, in some embodiments a resilient return element, for example a spring, is fixed on the roller housing D12 for returning the circumferential roller support D1222 to the initial position. The sliding track can be formed by a groove configured on the roller housing D12 and a sliding block configured in correspondence on the circumferential roller support D1222, or the sliding track can be formed by a guide protrusion configured on the roller housing D12 and a guide claw configured in correspondence on the circumferential roller support D1222.
[0151] As Figure 10The six peripheral roller mechanisms D122 are arranged at the inner periphery of the rotating drum housing D12. In the illustrated embodiment, the peripheral roller mechanisms D122 are evenly distributed at the inner periphery of the rotating drum housing on the same circumference in order to clearly show the peripheral roller holders D1222. The peripheral roller holders D1222 are configured with a circular hole into which the rotating shaft of the peripheral roller D1221 is inserted. The peripheral roller holders D1222 can be integrally formed with the rotating drum housing D12 or separately manufactured and then fixed to the rotating drum housing D12. Since the rotating disc D111 is driven in a peripheral direction, a certain degree of eccentric force is exerted on the rotating disc D111, and the peripheral roller mechanisms D122 can be arranged non-uniformly, for example, more peripheral roller mechanisms D122 are arranged on the side away from the contact position of the rotating drum driving mechanism D13 and the moisture absorbing rotating drum assembly D11 to offset the influence of the eccentric force, and fewer peripheral roller mechanisms D122 are arranged on the side close to the contact position of the rotating drum driving mechanism D13 and the moisture absorbing rotating drum assembly D11. For example, when the rotating drum driving mechanism D13 and the moisture absorbing rotating drum assembly D11 interact in the form of gear engagement, the gear engagement position is the contact position of the rotating drum driving mechanism D13 and the moisture absorbing rotating drum assembly D11, and it is advantageous to arrange more peripheral roller mechanisms D122 on the side away from the gear engagement position. For another example, when the rotating drum driving mechanism D13 and the moisture absorbing rotating drum assembly D11 interact in the form of a belt pulley, the position where the belt in the rotating drum driving mechanism D13 and the outer periphery of the moisture absorbing rotating drum assembly D11 are pressed against each other is the contact position of the rotating drum driving mechanism D13 and the moisture absorbing rotating drum assembly D11, and it is advantageous to arrange more peripheral roller mechanisms D122 on the side away from the pressing position.
[0152] In some embodiments, the peripheral roller holders D122 are fixed to the rotating drum housing D12 by means of a fixing mechanism configured to adjust the radial distance between the peripheral roller holders D122 and the moisture absorbing rotating drum assembly D11 in an initial installation position. In this way, the peripheral roller mechanisms D122 can be suitable for more sizes of the moisture absorbing rotating drum assembly D11 and can be suitable for more operating modes, such as the mode of contact with the moisture absorbing rotating drum assembly D11 in the initial state and the mode of non-contact with the moisture absorbing rotating drum assembly D11 in the initial state described above.
[0153] Figure 11A peripheral roller D1221 is illustrated exemplarily. In some embodiments, the peripheral surface of the peripheral roller D1221 is substantially smooth. In other embodiments, the peripheral surface of the peripheral roller D1221 has an uneven surface structure. The peripheral roller D122 includes a roller body D1223 and a pivot D1224. In some embodiments, the roller body D1223 is rotatable relative to the pivot D1224, where the pivot D1224 is simply connected to the peripheral roller support D1222 in a non-rotatable manner, for example, by snapping it together. In other embodiments, the roller body D1223 is not relative to the pivot D1224, in which case the pivot D1224 needs to be rotatably connected to the peripheral roller support D1222. The peripheral roller D1221 includes an inner ring D1225, an outer ring D1226, and spokes D1227 connecting the inner ring D1225 and the outer ring D1226. The spokes D1227 are provided in at least two configurations and are flexible and deformable. Optionally, the line connecting the spokes D1227 to the inner ring D1225 and the outer ring D1226 does not pass through the axis of rotation of the roller D1221. The inner ring D1225 can be understood as a pivot D1224 or a tube fitted over the pivot D1224. Alternatively, the spokes D1227 can be replaced by a flexible material, such as foam or silicone rings, with the flexible material fitted over the inner ring D1225, and then the outer ring D1226 fitted over the flexible material. The outer ring D1226 can be made of rigid material or flexible material.
[0154] The aforementioned peripheral drive configuration has at least the following advantages: the rotary drive mechanism D13, arranged at the outer periphery of the moisture-absorbing rotary assembly D11, can make very flexible use of the space around the moisture-absorbing rotary assembly D12, reducing the axial dimension of the moisture-absorbing and desiccant component D1, making it flatter overall. This contributes to reducing the overall height or thickness of the tableware handling device. Moreover, in these embodiments, there is no longer a transmission structure obstructing airflow in the central region of the wheel disk D111 inside the rotary housing D12, which also helps to guide the airflow more evenly through the wheel disk D111.
[0155] It can also limit the offset of the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11 during rotation in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11, thereby improving the operational stability of the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11 and reducing the risk of collision between the moisture-absorbing roller assembly D11 and the roller housing D12.
[0156] like Figure 8 As shown, the outer peripheral housing component D112 is composed of an outer peripheral upper clamping housing D112U and an outer peripheral lower clamping housing D112L with an annular structure. The outer peripheral upper clamping housing D112U has a longitudinal section similar to an L shape and includes an end section extending in the radial direction and a circumferential section extending in the axial direction.
[0157] Similarly, the outer periphery lower clamping shell D112L also has a similar L-shaped longitudinal section and includes an end section extending in the radial direction and a circumferential section extending in the axial direction. The outer periphery upper clamping shell D112U and the outer periphery lower clamping shell D112L are snap-fitted to each other by the snap and the slot formed thereon, thereby forming a groove open on one side only at the inner side thereof for accommodating the peripheral edge region of the runner D111. In the snap-fitted state, the outer periphery upper clamping shell D112U and the outer periphery lower clamping shell D112L surround the entire outer peripheral surface of the runner D111 and clamp the runner D111 from the upper and lower end surfaces of the peripheral edge region thereof, respectively, so that the outer periphery shell member D112 and the runner D111 are connected together in a non-rotatable manner. The upper and lower end surfaces of the runner D111 referred to herein refer to the surfaces extending in the radial direction of the runner D111. The outer periphery shell member D112 and the runner D111 are thus very simply connected together in a non-rotatable manner.
[0158] In some alternative embodiments, the outer periphery shell member D112 can also be configured by two annular shell members having a similar L-shaped longitudinal section and a circumferential annular shell member fixedly connected to each of the two annular shell members. Other shell configuration forms capable of forming a groove open on one side only at the inner side thereof are also conceivable.
[0159] In other alternative embodiments, the end sections of the outer periphery upper clamping shell D112U and the outer periphery lower clamping shell D112L can also be discontinuous in the circumferential direction, as long as they can function to clamp the runner D111. In addition, the fixation between the shell members, for example, the fixation of the outer periphery upper clamping shell D112U and the outer periphery lower clamping shell D112L in this embodiment, can also be achieved by means of threaded fasteners, welding, gluing, etc. The provision of the outer periphery shell member D112 can avoid deformation of the runner D111 during rotation due to centrifugal force, in particular deformation of the runner D111 in the peripheral edge region after moisture absorption, and can prevent the runner D111 from being damaged due to direct collision with the runner shell D12 due to vibration, etc. In addition, the outer periphery shell member D112 itself can also reduce the radial distance between the moisture absorption runner assembly D11 and the runner shell D12, thereby reducing the air flow rate that does not pass through the moisture absorption runner assembly, thereby improving the moisture absorption efficiency.
[0160] Further, the outer periphery lower clamp housing D112L is configured to be in rolling contact with the bottom roller mechanism D123, especially in the initial assembly state, thereby being able to provide the rotating moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 with a constant support force through the bottom roller mechanism D123, so as to substantially eliminate the loss due to the sliding friction between the moisture absorbing runner assembly D11 and the bottom of the runner housing D12. In the axial direction, the end section of the outer periphery lower clamp housing D112L is configured to at least partially cover the mounting position of the bottom roller mechanism D123 in the runner lower housing D12L, so that the end section of the outer periphery lower clamp housing D112L is able to be in rolling contact with the bottom roller mechanism D123.
[0161] The center housing piece D113 is composed of a center upper clamp D113U and a center lower clamp D113L in an annular configuration. The center upper clamp D113U has a similar L-shaped longitudinal section and includes an end section extending in the radial direction and a circumferential section extending in the axial direction. Similarly, the center lower clamp D113L also has a similar L-shaped longitudinal section and includes an end section extending in the radial direction and a circumferential section extending in the axial direction. The center upper clamp D113U and the center lower clamp D113L both pass through the center hole of the wheel disc D111 and are clamped to each other by the buckle and the clamping groove configured thereon, thereby forming a groove open on only one side for accommodating the center area of the wheel disc D111 on the outer side thereof. It is also conceivable that only the center upper clamp D113U or only the center lower clamp D113L passes through the center hole of the wheel disc D111. In the clamped state, the center upper clamp D113U and the center lower clamp D113L respectively clamp the wheel disc D111 from the upper and lower end faces of the center area of the wheel disc D111, so that the center housing piece D113 and the wheel disc D111 are connected together in a non-rotatable manner. In this way, the outer periphery housing piece D112 and the wheel disc D111 are connected together in a non-rotatable manner.
[0162] In some alternative embodiments, the center housing piece D113 can also be configured by two annular housing pieces with similar L-shaped longitudinal cross sections and one circumferential annular housing piece, which are fixedly connected with the circumferential annular housing piece respectively. Other housing configuration forms that can form a groove open on one side only on the outside are also conceivable. In some other alternative embodiments, the end section of the center upper clamp housing D113U and the center lower clamp housing D113L can also be discontinuous in the circumferential direction, as long as the clamping effect on the wheel disc D111 can be achieved. In addition, the fixation between the housing pieces, for example, the fixation of the center upper clamp piece D113U and the center lower clamp piece D113L in this embodiment, can also be achieved by means of threaded fasteners, welding, gluing, etc. The provision of the center housing piece D113 can avoid the collision of the relatively fragile wheel disc D111 with the parts located on the rotation axis, such as the shaft, so as to be damaged and can also strengthen the holding effect on the wheel disc D111 to avoid unwanted deformation.
[0163] The power input piece D114 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral clamp housing D112U. The power input piece D114 can be integrally formed with the outer peripheral clamp housing D112U, or can be separately manufactured and then fixed, for example, welded, to the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral clamp housing D112U. The power input piece D114 is configured as straight teeth uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction. Correspondingly, the runner driving mechanism D13 has an output gear that can be meshed with the power input piece D114, as shown in Figure 8 Of course, in alternative embodiments, the power input piece D114 can also be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral lower clamp housing D112L. Here, it is also conceivable that the power input piece D114 and the runner driving mechanism D13 are configured in other gear meshing transmission forms, such as worm gear transmission form, bevel gear transmission form, etc., or in belt transmission forms, such as friction belt transmission form, meshing belt transmission form, etc., or in chain transmission form. Correspondingly, the power input piece D114 can also be configured as helical teeth for gear transmission form, curved teeth, smooth surface for friction belt transmission form, various type grooves for meshing belt transmission form, or sprocket teeth for chain transmission, etc. The provision of the power input piece D114 on the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral housing piece D112 helps to reduce the thickness of the moisture absorption and removal component D1 along the rotation axis, thereby contributing to the reduction of the overall height or thickness of the tableware treatment device. In some other alternative embodiments, the power input piece D114 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the center housing piece D113, and correspondingly, the runner driving mechanism D13 is arranged at the center hole of the wheel disc D111.
[0164] On the outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential shell D112U, an auxiliary rotation ring D115 is also arranged. The auxiliary rotation ring D115 is arranged offset to the direction of the rotation axis from the power input D114. The auxiliary rotation ring D115 can be integrally formed with the outer circumferential shell D112U, or it can be manufactured separately and then fixed, for example, welded, to the outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential shell D112. The auxiliary rotation ring D115 is arranged in position matching the position of the lateral rollers D122, in particular the lateral rollers D1221 in some embodiments, so as to rollingly engage with the lateral rollers D1221 in the lateral roller mechanism D122. Of course, in other embodiments, the auxiliary rotation ring D115 can be arranged on the outer circumferential lower shell D112L.
[0165] The auxiliary rotation ring D115 is configured as a ring-shaped protrusion, the protrusion of which is configured to ensure that it can be in rolling contact with the lateral rollers D1221, even if the lateral rollers D1221 are not the most protruding structure on the inner circumferential edge of the rotation shell D12. In other embodiments, the auxiliary rotation ring D115 can also be configured by the basic surface of the outer circumferential shell D112 itself. The circumferential surface of the auxiliary rotation ring D115 can be configured smoothly or with a rough surface structure.
[0166] In some embodiments, the power input D114, the auxiliary rotation ring D115 and the rotation seal D116 are arranged offset to each other completely in the direction of the rotation axis and in particular next to each other.
[0167] As Figure 6 shown. In some embodiments, in the initial assembly state, the auxiliary rotation ring D115 is in contact with the lateral rollers in the lateral roller mechanism D122 without significant compression, and when the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11 starts to rotate, the auxiliary rotation ring D115 of the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11 is in rolling contact with the lateral rollers in the lateral roller mechanism D122, thereby inhibiting the radial wobble of the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11 without significantly increasing the rotational resistance of the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11.
[0168] Of course, it is also conceivable that, in the initial assembly state, a small gap is left between the auxiliary rotation ring D115 and the lateral rollers in the lateral roller mechanism D122, thereby further reducing the rotational resistance, and only acting when the moisture absorption rotation assembly D11 wobbles in the radial direction. It is particularly advantageous here to configure the lateral roller mechanism D122 to be deformable, in particular to configure the lateral rollers in the lateral roller mechanism D122 to be flexible, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the auxiliary rotation ring D115 when colliding with the lateral roller mechanism D122.
[0169] As Figure 8As shown, a rotary seal D116 is provided at the outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential upper clamping housing D112U and the outer circumferential lower clamping housing D112L at the position where they are fixed to each other, and the power input member D114, the auxiliary rotary ring D115 and the rotary seal D116 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom on the outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential housing member D112 along the direction of the rotation axis. It is also possible that the power input member D114, the auxiliary rotary ring D115 and the rotary seal D116 are arranged in other orders along the rotation axis. It is also possible that they are arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential lower clamping housing D112L or distributed on the outer circumferential surface of the outer circumferential upper clamping housing D112U and the outer circumferential lower clamping housing D112L. The power input member D114 and the auxiliary rotary member D115 are integrally configured here, but they can also be configured separately.
[0170] In some embodiments, the rotary seal D116 forms the maximum diameter of the rotary wheel assembly D11, and the peripheral side roller mechanism D122 protrudes from the entire inner circumferential wall of the inner periphery of the rotary wheel housing D12 toward the rotation axis to be in rolling contact with the auxiliary rotary ring D115 which has a smaller diameter. In other embodiments, the auxiliary rotary ring D115 forms the maximum diameter of the rotary wheel assembly D11, and the rotary wheel housing seal D124 which cooperates with the rotary seal D116 is closer to the rotation axis as a part of the inner circumferential surface of the rotary wheel housing D12, and the peripheral side roller D1221 only needs to protrude from the inner circumferential wall in the axial height thereof. It is noted that if there is a gap between the peripheral side roller mechanism D122 and the auxiliary rotary ring D115 in the initial installation position, the size of the gap should be small enough to ensure that the rotary seal D116 can still rotate relative to the rotary wheel housing seal D124 when the rotary wheel assembly D11 is radially offset. That is, the auxiliary rotary ring D115 of the rotary wheel assembly D11 should be in rolling contact with the peripheral side roller mechanism D122 before the deformation capacity of the rotary seal D116 is exhausted, so as to avoid the rotary seal D116 from being stuck relative to the rotary wheel housing seal D124.
[0171] In some embodiments, the radially inner side of the rotary seal D116 covers the position where the upper peripheral clamping housing D112U and the lower peripheral clamping housing D112L are fixed to each other, whereby the radially inner side of the rotary seal D116 can seal the position where the upper peripheral clamping housing D112U and the lower peripheral clamping housing D112L are fixed to each other, so that the air flow that has entered the moisture absorption rotary assembly D11 is prevented from flowing out of the mounting gap of the peripheral housing member. Furthermore, the rotary seal D116 is also configured to extend radially outwardly in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis until it can be in contact with the rotary housing seal D124 on the inner peripheral surface of the rotary housing D12 in a rotatable manner. The contact in a rotatable manner means that the contact of the rotary seal D116 with the rotary housing seal D124 does not significantly increase the rotation resistance of the moisture absorption rotary assembly D11 with the rotary seal D116. The rotary housing seal D124 is formed by the inner peripheral surface of the rotary housing D12 itself in the illustrated embodiment.
[0172] In the illustrated embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the rotary seal D116 forms the maximum diameter of the entire moisture absorption rotary assembly D11. Thereby, the radially outer side of the rotary seal D116 can close the radial gap between the moisture absorption rotary assembly D11 and the rotary housing D12, so that the air flow that has not been subjected to moisture absorption is prevented from flowing through the gap and further into the cleaning cabin. That is, the rotary seal D116 in this embodiment has a dual function, on the one hand, it can prevent the air flow that has entered the moisture absorption rotary assembly D11 from flowing out of the mounting gap of the peripheral housing member, and on the other hand, it can prevent the air flow that has not been subjected to moisture absorption from flowing around the moisture absorption rotary assembly D11 from outside the peripheral edge thereof, so that the moisture absorption efficiency can be significantly improved.
[0173] In some embodiments, the inner peripheral surface of the rotary housing D12 can also be configured to be slightly convex radially inwardly to serve as the rotary housing seal D124 in contact with the rotary seal D116, so that the radial dimension of the rotary seal D116 can be reduced. In this way, even if the outer peripheral surface of the rotary seal D116 is not at the maximum diameter of the entire moisture absorption rotary assembly D11, the rotary contact sealing explained above can also be achieved. In other embodiments, a separate sealing ring is connected at the position of the inner peripheral surface of the rotary housing D12 that matches the rotary seal D116, such as being glued, to serve as the rotary housing seal D124 in contact with the rotary seal D116, which can be made of the same material as the rotary seal D116. This also helps to reduce the radial dimension of the rotary seal D116 and can also be flexibly matched with the radial dimension of the rotary seal D116, which leaves more design space for the arrangement of the rotary seal D116 on the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral housing member D112.
[0174] This individual sealing ring protects the inner circumferential surface of the wheel housing D12 from wear and is easy to replace. Furthermore, it is conceivable to provide multiple wheel seals D116, staggered and arranged at different positions on the outer circumferential surface of the outer housing D112, thereby achieving at least the aforementioned dual function, or even redundantly achieving the dual function. For example, one wheel seal D116 can be positioned on the outer circumferential surface of the upper outer clamping housing D112U and the lower outer clamping housing D112L, where they are fixed to each other, and another wheel seal D116 can be positioned on the outer circumferential surface of either the upper outer clamping housing D112U or the lower outer clamping housing D112L at a different fixed position, or redundantly, two more wheel seals D116 can be positioned on the outer circumferential surfaces of the upper outer clamping housing D112U and the lower outer clamping housing D112L at different fixed positions.
[0175] like Figure 8 As shown, the power input component D114, the auxiliary rotating ring D115, and the wheel seal D116 are completely offset along the direction of the rotation axis on the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral housing component D112 and are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. It is conceivable that the power input component D114, the auxiliary rotating ring D115, and the wheel seal D116 can also be arranged in a different order, offset along the rotation axis.
[0176] The moisture-absorbing impeller assembly D11 also includes a deformable peripheral damper D117 and a central damper D118. The peripheral damper D117 is disposed between the outer peripheral surface of the impeller D111 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral housing D112 to form a buffer therebetween using its deformability. In some embodiments, the peripheral damper D117 is glued to the outer peripheral surface of the impeller D111. The central damper D118 is disposed between the end section of the central housing D113 and the central region of the impeller D111 to form a buffer therebetween using its deformability.
[0177] The central damper D118 is disposed between the end section of the lower central clamp D113L and the end face of the central region of the wheel D111. In an alternative embodiment, the central damper D118 may also be disposed between the end section of the upper central clamp D113U and the end face of the central region of the wheel D111, or one central damper D118 may be disposed at each of these two locations.
[0178] In some embodiments, the central damping member D118 is glued to the end face of the central region of the wheel disc D111. The outer peripheral damping member D117 and the central damping member D118 are made of, for example, foam. Of course, other elastically deformable materials can also be used to make the outer peripheral damping member D117 and the central damping member D118. During the operation of the dish processing device H, vibrations can be generated, which can sometimes cause the entire machine body to vibrate, thereby causing the moisture absorption wheel assembly D11 to also vibrate. At this time, the outer peripheral damping member D117 and the central damping member D118 can buffer the vibrations from the axial and radial directions, so as to protect the wheel disc D111 which is usually relatively fragile from being damaged.
[0179] In addition, in other embodiments, the moisture absorption wheel assembly D11 can be fixed on the wheel housing D12, so as not to rotate relative to the wheel housing D12. Here, the wheel housing D12 is no longer divided into different regions. The moisture absorption wheel assembly D11 is alternately connected with the moisture absorption channel D2 and the moisture discharge channel D3. Specifically, when the drying module D is operating, the moisture absorption wheel assembly D11 is first connected with the moisture absorption channel D2, so as to perform moisture absorption drying in the cleaning cabin H1. Then, when it is determined that the wheel disc D111 in the moisture absorption wheel assembly D11 has reached saturation based on the information of the sensor connected to the moisture absorption wheel assembly D11, the moisture absorption wheel assembly D11 is connected with the moisture discharge channel D3 by using a switching structure, so as to regenerate the wheel disc D111 of the moisture absorption wheel assembly D11. The wheel driving mechanism D13 arranged due to the rotation of the wheel disc D111, the dynamic seal, for example, the wheel seal D116 for forming a dynamic seal as previously described, and the wheel housing D12 seal, and the rotation assisting member, for example, the peripheral side roller mechanism D122, the bottom roller mechanism D123, the auxiliary rotating ring D115 and the like as previously described, can be omitted, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the cost.
[0180] In other embodiments, the moisture absorption wheel assembly D11 is fixed on the wheel housing D12, but the wheel housing D12 is still divided into at least two regions, i.e., the moisture absorption region D1211 and the moisture discharge region D1212, and the two regions are alternately connected with the moisture absorption channel D2 and the moisture discharge channel D3. In some technical solutions, a pipe rack that can reciprocatingly swing is arranged on the outer periphery of the wheel housing D12, and flexible pipes are respectively connected between the pipe rack and the moisture absorption channel D2 and the moisture discharge channel D3. When the pipe rack reciprocatingly swings, the pipe openings on the pipe rack are respectively connected with the inlets and outlets of the at least two regions.
[0181] Figure 12The dehumidification and heating assembly D34 in the drying module D according to the present application is shown in a perspective view. Seen in the flow path of the dehumidification air flow, the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 can be arranged upstream and / or downstream of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component D1. In some technical solutions, the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 is provided separately from the moisture absorption and dehumidification component D1. In another alternative technical solution, the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 is integrally formed with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component D1 or fixed together by means of connecting means, such as threaded fasteners. The dehumidification and heating assembly D34 housing of the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 is substantially complementarily configured in shape with the rotor housing D12 of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component D1 and connected together. The dehumidification and heating assembly D34 can determine the heating power according to the detection value of the temperature sensor. When the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 can be integrally formed with the moisture absorption and dehumidification component D1 or fixed together.
[0182] In some embodiments, the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 can be provided on the air inlet side of the dehumidification fluid driving unit D33, or on the air outlet side of the dehumidification fluid driving unit D33.
[0183] The dehumidification and heating assembly D34 includes a dehumidification and heating assembly housing D341, a mesh plate D342, a dehumidification and heating member D343, and a thermostat mounting portion D344. The dehumidification and heating assembly housing D341 is configured as a sector body having a sector cross section and thereby has a sector upper end face wall D3411, a lower end face wall D3412, and a circumferentially extending circumferential side wall D3413 and a radially extending radial side wall D3414 connecting the upper end face wall D3411 and the lower end face wall D3412. The sector body is complementarily configured in shape with the rotor upper housing D12U of the rotor housing D12.
[0184] In particular, the upper housing D12U of the wheel is configured with a sector-shaped cutout which is substantially identical to the sector shape of the housing D341 of the dehumidification and heating assembly. A dehumidified air flow outlet is configured at the lower end face wall D3412 which is as large as possible so that the air flow can flow into the dehumidification wheel assembly D11 through the dehumidified air flow outlet. The dehumidified air flow outlet occupies at least 80%, even 90%, of the area of the lower end face wall D3412. A dehumidified air flow inlet is provided at the circumferential side wall D3413 of the housing D341 of the dehumidification and heating assembly which is as large as possible. The dehumidified air flow inlet occupies at least 80%, preferably 90%, of the area of the circumferential side wall D3413. In this way, the dehumidified air flow can enter the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 with the shortest possible path. It is also conceivable to arrange the dehumidified air flow inlet at the radial side wall so that the dehumidified air flow can pass through the dehumidification wheel assembly more uniformly in the radial direction, in particular when a plurality of dehumidified air flow inlets are arranged at two radial side walls or at two radial side walls and one circumferential side wall, the dehumidified air flow can pass through the dehumidification wheel assembly D11 more uniformly in the cross-sectional area of the sector, thereby improving the regeneration efficiency of the dehumidification wheel assembly D11.
[0185] The housing of the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 can be manufactured integrally with the wheel housing D12, in other embodiments the housing of the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 is manufactured separately from the wheel housing D12 and is fixed to the wheel housing D12. A flexible connection seal is provided between the housing of the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 manufactured separately from the wheel housing D12 and the wheel housing D12, the upper housing D12U of the wheel, in order to prevent the dehumidified air flow from escaping through the gap between the housing of the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 and the wheel housing D12.
[0186] The dehumidification and heating member D343 in the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 is configured as a heating tube or a PTC heating body which is laid out in a plane. The heating tube is configured in a serpentine or corrugated shape.
[0187] Figure 13 A mesh plate D342 in the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 of the drying module D according to the application is shown in a perspective view from the front. The mesh plate D342 has a shape which is adapted to the dehumidified air flow outlet and can be fixed in the dehumidified air flow outlet. A plurality of through-holes is configured on the mesh plate D342 which are as uniformly distributed as possible on the mesh plate D342. Here, the through-holes are distributed in a serpentine shape in the mesh plate D342. It is particularly advantageous if the opening diameters of the through-holes decrease gradually along the flow direction of the dehumidified air flow, in some embodiments the opening diameters of the through-holes which are closer to the dehumidified air flow inlet are larger and the opening diameters of the through-holes which are further away from the dehumidified air flow inlet are smaller. That is, the opening diameters of the through-holes are configured more and more small in the radial direction. In this way, the uniformity of the dehumidified air flow through the dehumidification wheel assembly can be further improved.
[0188] Figure 14 A dehumidification heating assembly D34 of the drying module D according to the present application is shown in a perspective view from the back. The dehumidification heating member D343 is arranged on the back of the mesh plate D342 on the downstream side of the dehumidification air flow, i.e. downstream of the mesh plate D342. Here, the dehumidification heating member D343 is configured as a heating pipe which is laid out in a serpentine shape in one plane. It is also conceivable to configure the dehumidification heating member D343 as a PTC heating body, for example consisting of a ceramic heating element and an aluminum pipe. The dehumidification heating member D343 is configured in correspondence to the shape of the through holes in the mesh plate D342 and is staggered with respect to the through holes. Specifically, the dehumidification heating member D343 is staggered with respect to the through holes in the direction of the dehumidification air flow, so that the dehumidification air flow is directed against the dehumidification heating member D343 after passing through the through holes, thereby improving the heating efficiency. The area enclosed by the envelope of the dehumidification heating member D343 occupies at least 70% of the cross section of the dehumidification air flow outlet, and the cross sectional area of the dehumidification heating member D343 itself occupies at most 40% of the cross section of the dehumidification air flow outlet, thereby being able to provide heat in a sufficiently large range without hindering the passage of the air flow.
[0189] As shown in Figure 14 , the dehumidification heating assembly D34 further comprises a thermostat mounting portion D344. The thermostat mounting portion D344 is likewise arranged on the back of the mesh plate and on the side of the region provided with the through holes. The thermostat mounting portion D344 is configured for detecting the temperature in the inner cavity of the dehumidification heating assembly D34. The controller of the dish treatment apparatus H controls the dehumidification heating member D34 based on this temperature. Since the dehumidification air flow which is heated tends to form a turbulent flow or rather a chaotic flow in the inner cavity of the dehumidification heating assembly D34, this makes the inner cavity temperature which is directly taken in the inner cavity space extremely unstable or rather fluctuating. In order to obtain as stable as possible an inner cavity temperature, the thermostat mounting portion D344 comprises a heat conducting sheet D3441 and a thermostat D3442. The heat conducting sheet D3441 completely covers the thermostat D3442. By conducting the temperature to the thermostat D3442 via the heat conducting sheet D3441, a more stable and representative inner cavity temperature can be detected compared to directly detecting the inner cavity temperature in the gas in the inner cavity, which is particularly advantageous for the temperature control of the dehumidification heating member.
[0190] Figure 15The upper rotating shell D12U of the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 in the drying module D according to the present application is shown in a perspective view. The dehumidification and heating assembly shell D341 is manufactured separately from the rotating shell D12 and is fixed on the upper rotating shell D12U. A flexible connecting seal D3415 is arranged between the dehumidification and heating assembly shell D341 and the upper rotating shell D12U so as to prevent the dehumidification air flow from escaping from the gap between the dehumidification and heating assembly shell D341 and the upper rotating shell D12U. A connecting thermal insulation D3416 is also arranged between the dehumidification and heating assembly shell D341 and the upper rotating shell D12U so as to reduce the outward diffusion of heat in the dehumidification and heating assembly shell D341, especially into the moisture absorption area D1212 of the rotating shell D12. The connecting thermal insulation D3416 is partially covered by the connecting seal D3415.
[0191] It is also conceivable that the connecting thermal insulation is entirely covered by the connecting seal, so that the dehumidification and heating assembly shell D341 and the upper rotating shell D12U are only in contact with the connecting seal, so as to improve the sealing effect. The connecting seal D3415 and the connecting thermal insulation D3416 have inner edges that substantially match the shape of the dehumidification air flow outlet in the dehumidification and heating assembly shell D341. The connecting seal is preferably constructed from foam, silica gel or soft rubber. The thermal insulation is preferably manufactured from a heat-insulating material. However, it is also conceivable that the connecting thermal insulation is manufactured from a metal or an alloy that is less expensive, or that the thermal insulation is manufactured from an inorganic non-metallic material or a composite material. Although the metal or the alloy has better heat conduction performance, it still forms a certain thermal insulation effect after being covered by the connecting seal. In some other embodiments, the material surface has excellent interface reflectivity to avoid heat transfer outward, so as to form a good thermal insulation effect.
[0192] In some other embodiments that are not shown, the dehumidification and heating assembly D34 can be a semiconductor refrigeration sheet hot end, a heat pump hot end or a vortex tube hot end; and the corresponding semiconductor refrigeration sheet cold end, heat pump cold end or vortex tube cold end can be used for the dehumidification and condensation assembly D35, so as to improve the energy utilization rate.
[0193] Figure 16 The dehumidification and condensation tube assembly D351 of the dehumidification and condensation assembly D35 of the drying module D according to the present application is shown in a perspective view. Figure 17A perspective view shows a cut-off portion of the dehumidification and condensation assembly housing D352 of the dehumidification and condensation assembly D35 of the drying mold D according to this application. The dehumidification and condensation assembly D35 includes a dehumidification and condensation pipe assembly D351, a dehumidification and condensation assembly housing D352, and a dehumidification and condensation outlet pipe. The dehumidification and condensation outlet pipe communicates with the dehumidification and condensation assembly housing D352. The dehumidification and condensation pipe assembly D351 is fixed in the middle of the dehumidification and condensation assembly housing D352 and is configured to condense and dehumidify the dehumidification airflow passing through the dehumidification and condensation pipe assembly D351. The condensed water is discharged through the dehumidification and condensation outlet pipe.
[0194] In some embodiments, the cold trap can be outside air, tap water, or a two-stage condenser interconnected by heat pipes. The dehumidification condensation assembly D35 can be a natural heat exchange condenser or a forced heat exchange condenser (such as a heat pump, semiconductor heat sink, etc.).
[0195] like Figure 16 As shown, the dehumidification condensation assembly D35 shares a lower housing with the dehumidification impeller assembly D11, the dehumidification channel fan D23, and the dehumidification fluid drive unit D33. The dehumidification condensation pipe assembly D351 cooperates with the lower housing of the module by means of baffles and limiting parts. The upper housing in the dehumidification condensation assembly housing D352 presses down on the sealing strip around the dehumidification condensation pipe assembly D351 to achieve a sealing effect.
[0196] like Figure 17 As shown, in order to prevent the exhaust airflow from entering the exhaust condenser assembly housing D352 and bypassing the exhaust condenser pipe assembly D351, flowing directly to the outlet of the exhaust condenser assembly housing through the gap between it and the exhaust condenser assembly housing D352, a baffle D353 is provided between the exhaust condenser pipe assembly D351 and the exhaust condenser assembly housing D352.
