Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliances technology, and in particular to a drying component, an inner liner device, and a dishwasher. Background Technology

[0002] Dishwashers and other kitchen appliances typically have a drying channel on the outside of their inner liner. One end of this drying channel connects to the air inlet of the inner liner, and a drying module is installed within the drying channel. The drying module heats the gas in the drying channel to form dry gas, and the drying channel then supplies this dry gas into the inner liner to dry its interior.

[0003] To enable automatic opening and closing of the drying module, a temperature and humidity sensor is usually installed at the air outlet of the inner liner. This sensor detects the temperature and humidity of the air escaping from the inner liner. When the detected temperature and humidity reach set thresholds, the drying module automatically starts the drying process. However, since these sensors are typically located at the air outlet, the hot and humid air escaping from the inner liner easily condenses on the sensor's surface, forming water droplets. This can cause water to enter the sensor, leading to inaccurate humidity readings.

[0004] To address the issue of water ingress into the temperature and humidity sensor, one existing dishwasher uses a temperature and humidity sensor with an internal semi-permeable membrane. However, the semi-permeable membrane only allows gas to pass through, which still results in inaccurate humidity detection by the temperature and humidity sensor. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a drying component, inner liner device, and dishwasher to alleviate the technical problem of water ingress into the temperature and humidity sensor at the air outlet of the inner liner of kitchen appliances in the prior art. One existing kitchen appliance uses a temperature and humidity sensor with a semi-permeable membrane inside, but the semi-permeable membrane can only allow gas to pass through, which still leads to inaccurate humidity detection results of the temperature and humidity sensor.

[0006] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a drying component, including an air inlet channel, a drying module, and a temperature and humidity sensor;

[0007] The air inlet channel includes an air inlet end and an air outlet end, and the air outlet end of the air inlet channel is connected to the air inlet of the inner liner to be dried.

[0008] Both the drying module and the temperature and humidity sensor are located inside the air inlet channel, with the temperature and humidity sensor located near the air inlet of the inner liner, and the drying module located on the side of the temperature and humidity sensor away from the air inlet end of the air inlet channel.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the air inlet channel includes a main channel and a branch channel, both the main channel and the branch channel include an air inlet end and an air outlet end, the air outlet end of the main channel is connected to the air inlet of the inner liner, and the drying module is disposed in the main channel;

[0010] The branch channel is located on one side of the air inlet of the inner liner, and the air inlet end of the branch channel is connected to the air inlet of the main channel near the inner liner. The temperature and humidity sensor is located inside the branch channel.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, a housing is also included, and the main channel, secondary channel, drying module and temperature and humidity sensor are all disposed within the housing;

[0012] The side of the housing has a notch, and the air outlet of the branch channel is connected to the notch.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, an air outlet channel is also included, which includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet of the air outlet channel is connected to the air outlet of the inner liner, and the air outlet is connected to the external environment.

[0014] In an optional implementation, a secondary air intake channel is also included, which includes an air intake end and an air outlet end. The air intake end of the secondary air intake channel is connected to the air intake channel, and the air outlet end is connected to the external environment. The secondary air intake channel and the air outlet channel are connected to each other.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the secondary air inlet channel is located on one side of the air outlet channel, and the position of the secondary air inlet channel near its air outlet end is connected to the position of the air outlet channel near its air outlet end through a connecting port.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the air outlet channel is provided with multiple bends for changing the gas flow direction, and there are multiple temperature and humidity sensors, at least one of which is located inside the air outlet channel and between the air outlet end of the air outlet channel and the bend near the air inlet end of the air outlet channel.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the air inlet channel is located in a vertical plane, and the temperature and humidity sensor is installed at an angle relative to the horizontal plane within the air inlet channel.

[0018] Secondly, this utility model provides an inner liner device, including the drying component described in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0019] Thirdly, this utility model provides a dishwasher, including the inner liner device described in the foregoing embodiments.

[0020] The drying assembly provided by this utility model includes an air inlet channel, a drying module, and a temperature and humidity sensor. The air inlet channel includes an air inlet end and an air outlet end, with the air outlet end of the air inlet channel connected to the air inlet of the inner liner to be dried. Both the drying module and the temperature and humidity sensor are located within the air inlet channel, with the temperature and humidity sensor positioned near the air inlet of the inner liner, and the drying module located on the side of the temperature and humidity sensor away from the air inlet end of the air inlet channel. The drying assembly provided by this utility model can be applied to kitchen appliances such as dishwashers to dry their inner liners. Specifically, the drying assembly can be installed on the outside of the side wall of the inner liner, which has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet end of the drying assembly can be connected to the external environment so that outside air can enter the air inlet channel, while the air outlet end of the air inlet channel is connected to the air inlet of the inner liner. When dishwashers and other kitchen appliances complete their washing operations, filling the inner tank with hot and humid air, this air can escape through the tank's air inlet and outlet. Since the temperature and humidity sensor in the drying assembly is located near the air inlet in the air intake channel, it can come into contact with the hot and humid air escaping from the inlet, thus detecting its temperature and humidity. The temperature and humidity sensor provided by this invention can also be linked with the drying module. When the temperature and humidity detected by the sensor reach the preset thresholds of the kitchen appliance, the drying module automatically turns on and heats or accelerates the air entering the air intake channel. Once the heated and accelerated air enters the inner tank through the air outlet of the air intake channel, it dries the inner tank. It should be noted that, since the drying module is located on the side of the temperature and humidity sensor furthest from the air inlet, the air heated or accelerated by the drying module flows past the temperature and humidity sensor before entering the inner chamber. This heated and accelerated air dries the temperature and humidity sensor, promptly removing any condensation on its surface and effectively preventing water from entering the sensor. This ensures the accuracy of the sensor's readings during subsequent use. It can be seen that the drying component provided by this invention not only eliminates the need for a temperature and humidity sensor with an internal semi-permeable membrane but also effectively ensures the accuracy of the sensor's readings.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the drying component provided by this utility model not only ensures that the temperature and humidity sensor can still sense the temperature and humidity of the hot and humid air overflowing from the inner liner and activate the drying module in time by placing the temperature and humidity sensor in the air inlet channel, but also allows the activated drying module to work with the air inlet channel to remove the water vapor condensed on the surface of the temperature and humidity sensor in time, preventing water from entering the temperature and humidity sensor and effectively ensuring the accuracy of the detection results of the temperature and humidity sensor.

[0022] The inner liner device provided by this utility model includes the above-mentioned drying component, and therefore the inner liner device has the same beneficial effect as the above-mentioned drying component.

[0023] The dishwasher provided by this utility model includes the above-mentioned inner tank device, and therefore the dishwasher has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned inner tank device. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0031] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0033] Example:

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drying assembly provided in this embodiment includes an air inlet channel 1, a drying module 2, and a temperature and humidity sensor 3. The air inlet channel 1 includes an air inlet end and an air outlet end, and the air outlet end of the air inlet channel 1 is connected to the air inlet 4 of the inner liner to be dried. The drying module 2 and the temperature and humidity sensor 3 are both located in the air inlet channel 1, and the temperature and humidity sensor 3 is located near the air inlet 4 of the inner liner, while the drying module 2 is located on the side of the temperature and humidity sensor 3 away from the air inlet end of the air inlet channel 1.

[0035] The drying assembly provided in this embodiment can be applied to kitchen appliances such as dishwashers to dry their inner liner. Specifically, the drying assembly can be installed on the outside of the side wall of the inner liner. An air inlet 4 and an air outlet 5 are provided on the side wall of the inner liner. The air inlet end of the drying assembly can be connected to the external environment so that the air inlet channel 1 can enter the outside air. The air outlet end of the air inlet channel 1 is connected to the air inlet 4 of the inner liner.

[0036] When a dishwasher or other kitchen appliance completes its washing operations and causes the inner tank to become filled with hot and humid air, the hot and humid air can escape through the air inlet 4 and air outlet 5 of the inner tank. Since the temperature and humidity sensor 3 in the drying component is located at the air inlet 4 of the air inlet channel 1 near the inner tank, the temperature and humidity sensor 3 can come into contact with the hot and humid air escaping from the air inlet 4 of the inner tank, thereby detecting the temperature and humidity of the hot and humid air.

[0037] The temperature and humidity sensor 3 provided in this embodiment can also be linked with the drying module 2. When the temperature and humidity detected by the temperature and humidity sensor 3 reach the preset threshold of the kitchen appliance, the drying module 2 automatically turns on and heats or accelerates the air entering the air inlet channel 1. When the heated or accelerated air enters the inner liner through the air outlet of the air inlet channel 1, the inside of the inner liner can be dried. Figure 2 The solid arrows shown indicate the airflow direction within the drying assembly during drying operations. Once the air temperature and humidity inside the liner decrease and stabilize, the readings from the temperature and humidity sensor 3 will change. Based on this change, the temperature and humidity sensor 3 can be linked with the drying module 2 to automatically shut down the drying module 2, saving energy.

[0038] It should be noted that since the drying module 2 is located on the side of the temperature and humidity sensor 3 away from the air inlet end of the air inlet channel 1, the air heated or accelerated by the drying module 2 will flow through the temperature and humidity sensor 3 and then enter the inner liner. At this time, the heated and accelerated air will dry the temperature and humidity sensor 3, and remove the water vapor condensed on the surface of the temperature and humidity sensor 3 in time, effectively preventing water from entering the temperature and humidity sensor 3. In subsequent use, this can ensure the accuracy of the detection results of the temperature and humidity sensor 3.

[0039] It can be seen that the drying component provided in this embodiment not only eliminates the need for a temperature and humidity sensor 3 with an internal semi-permeable membrane, but also effectively ensures the accuracy of the detection results of the temperature and humidity sensor 3.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the drying component provided in this embodiment, by placing the temperature and humidity sensor 3 in the air inlet channel 1 near the air inlet 4 of the inner liner, can not only ensure that the temperature and humidity sensor 3 can still sense the temperature and humidity of the hot and humid air overflowing from the inner liner and start the drying module 2 in time, but also use the started drying module 2 in conjunction with the air inlet channel 1 to remove the water vapor condensed on the surface of the temperature and humidity sensor 3 in time, prevent water from entering the temperature and humidity sensor 3, and effectively ensure the accuracy of the detection results of the temperature and humidity sensor 3.

[0041] It should also be noted that existing dishwashers typically have a temperature and humidity sensor outside the drying chamber to ensure timely and accurate activation of the drying module. This sensor detects the ambient air temperature and humidity. The dishwasher compares the differences in readings from the two sensors inside and outside the drying chamber, then controls the drying module's activation or deactivation, improving the accuracy of temperature and humidity detection and thus enabling timely drying. However, ambient air temperature and humidity are not stable. There are situations where the dishwasher drum needs drying, but the temperature and humidity differences between the inside and outside environments are not significant, leading to delays and inaccuracies in the drying process.

[0042] The drying component provided in this embodiment can improve the accuracy of the temperature and humidity detection results of the inner tank by using a temperature and humidity sensor 3 located in the air inlet channel 1 near the air inlet 4 of the inner tank. This eliminates the need to add an additional temperature and humidity sensor 3 to the outside of the dishwasher or other kitchen appliances, thereby saving the cost of using the temperature and humidity sensor 3, simplifying the electronic control program of the kitchen appliances, and achieving the purpose of energy saving.

[0043] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drying module 2 may include a fan 20, which is located at the air inlet end of the air inlet channel 1. The fan 20 is used to drive external air into the air inlet channel 1 and to drive the air to flow into the inner liner at an accelerated speed, thereby effectively improving the drying effect and drying efficiency.

[0044] Furthermore, the drying module 2 may also include a heater 21, which is located in the air inlet channel 1 and on the side away from the air inlet end of the air inlet channel 1 from the temperature and humidity sensor 3. The heater 21 is used to heat the air in the air inlet channel 1 so that the gas entering the inner liner is hot air, thereby improving the drying effect and drying efficiency.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet channel 1 includes a main channel 10 and a branch channel 11. Both the main channel 10 and the branch channel 11 include an air inlet end and an air outlet end. The air outlet end of the main channel 10 is connected to the air inlet 4 of the inner liner. The drying module 2 is located inside the main channel 10. The branch channel 11 is located on one side of the air inlet 4 of the inner liner, and the air inlet end of the branch channel 11 is connected to the position of the main channel 10 near the air inlet 4 of the inner liner. The temperature and humidity sensor 3 is located inside the branch channel 11.

[0046] The main channel 10 is used to accommodate the drying module 2 and to introduce hot air into the inner liner, while the branch channel 11 is used to accommodate the temperature and humidity sensor 3 and to send some hot air to the temperature and humidity sensor 3 to dry it, so that the temperature and humidity sensor 3 can enter the next cycle of detection process.

[0047] By placing the temperature and humidity sensor 3 and the drying module 2 in the branch channel 11 and the main channel 10 respectively, not only can the spatial layout of the drying components be optimized, but also the direct impact of hot air on the temperature and humidity sensor 3 and its detection results be prevented.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the drying assembly provided in this embodiment may further include a housing 6, with the main channel 10, secondary channel, drying module 2, and temperature and humidity sensor 3 all housed within the housing 6; Figure 3 As shown, the side of the housing 6 is provided with a notch 60, and the air outlet of the branch channel 11 is connected to the notch 60.

[0049] The shell 6 may include two half-shells, which are joined together to form the shell 6. The main channel 10 and the secondary channel can be formed by protruding ribs provided on the inner wall of the half-shells.

[0050] It should be noted that by providing a notch 60 on the side of the housing 6 and connecting the notch 60 to the air outlet of the branch channel 11, the branch channel 11 can be connected to the external environment, making it easier for the hot air passing through the temperature and humidity sensor 3 to flow out into the external environment. This makes the hot air flow smoother, which not only prevents the hot air from accumulating in the branch channel 11 and causing secondary condensation of water droplets on the surface of the temperature and humidity sensor 3, but also increases the hot air flow rate and speeds up the dehumidification of the temperature and humidity sensor 3.

[0051] like Figure 2As shown, the drying assembly provided in this embodiment also includes an air outlet channel 7, which includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet of the air outlet channel 7 is connected to the air outlet 5 of the inner liner, and the air outlet is connected to the external environment.

[0052] The air outlet duct 7 is used to connect the internal space of the inner liner with the external environment, so that the gas that has completed the drying process in the inner liner can flow out to the external environment. This not only prevents the gas from accumulating in the inner liner and affecting the drying effect, but also makes the gas flow in the inner liner smoother and improves the drying efficiency.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drying assembly provided in this embodiment also includes a secondary air inlet channel 8, which includes an air inlet end and an air outlet end. The air inlet end of the secondary air inlet channel 8 is connected to the air inlet channel 1, and the air outlet end is connected to the external environment. The secondary air inlet channel 8 is also connected to the air outlet channel 7.

[0054] During the drying process, the fan 20 in the drying module 2 drives external air into the air inlet duct 1 and towards the inner liner air inlet 4. Since the air inlet end of the secondary air inlet duct 8 is connected to the air inlet duct 1, the secondary air inlet duct 8 can also utilize the driving force of the fan 20 to allow air to enter the secondary air inlet duct 8 and flow towards its outlet end. Furthermore, because the secondary air inlet duct 8 connects to the outlet duct 7, a negative pressure is generated at the connection point when the air flows through the secondary air inlet duct 8 and the outlet duct 7. This causes the gas in the outlet duct 7 to flow faster towards its outlet end, further improving the drying efficiency.

[0055] It can be seen that the secondary air inlet channel 8 is used to accelerate the gas flow rate in the air outlet channel 7 by utilizing the driving force of the fan 20 in the drying module 2, so that the drying efficiency can be improved without the need to set up an additional fan 20 in the air outlet channel 7.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the secondary air inlet channel 8 is located on one side of the air outlet channel 7, as... Figure 3 As shown, the position of the secondary air inlet channel 8 near its air outlet end and the position of the air outlet channel 7 near its air outlet end are connected by a connecting port 9.

[0057] Compared to pipe connection, the connection port 9 can effectively improve the negative pressure formation effect, thereby effectively increasing the gas flow rate in the air outlet channel 7.

[0058] By connecting the position of the secondary air inlet channel 8 near its air outlet end with the position of the air outlet channel 7 near its air outlet end, the negative pressure area can be brought close to the air outlet end of the air outlet channel 7, making it easier for all the gas in the air outlet channel 7 to flow into the external environment.

[0059] To further improve the accuracy of temperature and humidity detection in hot and humid air, such as Figure 3 As shown, there can be multiple temperature and humidity sensors 3. If the air inlet channel 1 includes a main channel 10 and a branch channel 11, a temperature and humidity sensor 3 can be installed at the position of the branch channel 11 near the air inlet 4 of the inner liner, and a temperature and humidity sensor 3 can be installed between the air outlet of the main channel 10 and the drying module 2. By comparing the differences in the detection results of multiple temperature and humidity sensors 3, the detection results can be made closer to the real environment, and the accuracy of temperature and humidity detection of hot and humid air can be improved.

[0060] In addition, when there are more than two temperature and humidity sensors 3, one temperature and humidity sensor 3 can also be installed on the air outlet 7. However, in order to prevent the hot and humid air escaping from the air outlet 5 of the inner liner from condensing on the surface of the temperature and humidity sensor 3 and forming water droplets, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple bends for changing the gas flow direction can be provided on the air outlet duct 7. The temperature and humidity sensor 3 located in the air outlet duct 7 needs to be located between the air outlet end of the air outlet duct 7 and the bend near the air inlet end of the air outlet duct 7.

[0061] At this time, the bend in the air outlet duct 7 can block the hot and humid air, slow down the flow rate of the hot and humid air in the air outlet duct 7, and facilitate the condensation of steam in the hot and humid air at the bend to form water droplets, thereby preventing a large amount of steam water droplets in the hot and humid air from adhering to the surface of the temperature and humidity sensor 3.

[0062] It should be noted that, for the temperature and humidity sensor 3 in the air outlet duct 7, although the steam droplets in the hot and humid air will adhere to the bend in large quantities before the temperature and humidity sensor 3, the hot and humid air at the temperature and humidity sensor 3 still has humidity at this time, and the detection result of the temperature and humidity sensor 3 is still of reference value.

[0063] In existing dishwashers and other kitchen appliances, the drying channel is usually located outside the vertical side wall of the inner tank. Therefore, the drying assembly provided in this embodiment can also be located outside the vertical side wall of the inner tank. In this case, the air inlet channel 1 is located in the vertical plane, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the temperature and humidity sensor 3 can be installed at an angle relative to the horizontal plane inside the air inlet channel 1.

[0064] When the temperature and humidity sensor 3 is tilted relative to the horizontal plane, it can have a tilt angle. If the hot and humid air condenses and forms water droplets on the surface of the temperature and humidity sensor 3, the water droplets will slide down along the tilt direction of the temperature and humidity sensor 3 under their own weight, effectively preventing water droplets from entering the temperature and humidity sensor 3 and causing water to enter the temperature and humidity sensor 3.

[0065] As can be seen, the temperature and humidity sensor 3, which is tilted relative to the horizontal plane, can guide the water droplets on its surface, further preventing water from entering the humidity sensor.

[0066] To improve the water droplet conduction effect on the surface of the temperature and humidity sensor 3, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the temperature and humidity sensor 3 is preferably tilted downwards from the end furthest from the drying module 2 to the end closest to the drying module 2.

[0067] This embodiment also provides an inner liner device, which includes the above-mentioned drying component. Therefore, the inner liner device and the above-mentioned drying component can solve the same technical problem and achieve the same technical effect, which will not be described in detail here.

[0068] This embodiment also provides a dishwasher that includes the aforementioned inner drum device. Therefore, the dishwasher and the aforementioned inner drum device can solve the same technical problem and achieve the same technical effect, which will not be described in detail here.

[0069] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
