[0016] Further, the drain port is in fluid communication with a backflow channel on the inner container of the first dishwasher. Thus, the condensed water discharged from the drain port can flow back to the inner container through the backflow channel, and the condensed water can be self-cleaned by the drying function of the first dishwasher.
[0017] Further, a second drain pipe is connected to the drain port, and a water collecting tank is arranged outside the inner container of the first dishwasher, the water collecting tank has a water guide opening in fluid communication with the backflow channel, and the upper portion of the water collecting tank is open, and the free end of the second drain pipe is connected to the opening of the water collecting tank. Thus, the condensed water flows into the water collecting tank through the second drain pipe, and then flows back to the inner container through the backflow channel through the water guide opening.

[0032] Example 1:
[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an integrated cleaning machine includes a first sink 11 and a second sink 12 arranged side-by-side in a cabinet 1. A first dishwasher 2 with an inner tank 20 is disposed below the first sink 11, while the second sink 12 can be switched to become a second dishwasher 3. Figure 1As shown. Further, the overflow seat 8 is arranged between the first sink 11 and the second sink 12, and has a first air inlet 81 and a second air inlet 82, the first air inlet 81 of the overflow seat 8 is in fluid communication with the first air outlet 21 of the first dishwasher 2, and the second air inlet 82 is in fluid communication with the second air outlet 31 of the second dishwasher 3, wherein the first breather 22 is arranged on the first air outlet 21, and the first air inlet 81 of the overflow seat 8 is communicated with the air outlet end of the first breather 22 through the exhaust pipe 4. Further, the exhaust pipe 4 is provided with a drain (not shown) on the bottom wall of the transverse position.
[0034] As can be seen from the above, the drain is arranged on the bottom wall of the transverse position of the exhaust pipe 4 in the utility model, which not only avoids the escape of airflow from this position, but also enables the condensed water formed in the exhaust pipe 4 to be discharged through the drain, thereby avoiding the accumulation of condensed water in the exhaust pipe 4, ensuring the exhaust speed of the exhaust pipe 4, and avoiding the bubble sound caused by the condensed water being blown by the airflow.
[0035] Further, preferably, the first pipe opening 4a at one end of the exhaust pipe 4 is communicated with the first air inlet 81 of the overflow seat 8, the second pipe opening 4b at the other end is communicated with the air outlet end of the first breather 22, and the drain is arranged adjacent to the first pipe opening 4a. The airflow in the exhaust pipe 4 flows from the first air inlet 81 of the overflow seat 8 to the first air outlet 21, and the water vapor in the airflow is condensed to form condensed water at the end of the first air outlet 21, and the drain arranged at this position can better discharge the condensed water formed in the exhaust pipe 4.
[0036] Further, in the embodiment, specifically, the exhaust pipe 4 is arranged above the inner container 20 of the first dishwasher 2 in the horizontal direction, the first end is vertically curved upwards, the first pipe opening 4a at the first end is communicated with the first air inlet 81 of the overflow seat 8, and the drain is arranged on the bottom wall of the curved position, as shown. Figure 3 The drain is arranged at this position, which can better discharge the condensed water in the exhaust pipe 4, and can better avoid the bubble sound. Preferably, the drain connector 6 on the drain is inclined towards the first pipe opening 4a of the exhaust pipe 4, and the extension direction of the drain connector 6 forms an angle of 45° with the vertical direction. Under the action of the airflow wind pressure, the condensed water in the exhaust pipe 4 is beneficial to be discharged from the drain.
[0037] In this embodiment, the drain outlet is fluidly connected to the drain pipe (not shown) of the first water tank 11. This allows the condensate discharged from the drain outlet to flow into the sewer along with the water from the first water tank 11, eliminating the need for user treatment of the discharged condensate. Specifically, a second breather 32 is provided on the second air outlet 31. A cylindrical pipe connector 7 is fitted onto the overflow port of the second breather 32. The first connector 71 of the pipe connector 7 is connected to the drain pipe, while the second connector 72 is connected to the drain connector 6 via the first drain pipe 51. This allows the condensate discharged from the exhaust pipe 4 to merge with the drainage from the second breather 32 and flow together into the sewer pipe, resulting in a compact internal structure for the integrated cleaning machine.
[0038] Example 2:
[0039] like Figures 5 to 9 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the middle part of the exhaust pipe 4 is horizontally positioned above the inner tub 20 of the first dishwasher 2, and the drain outlet is located on the bottom wall of this middle part. Furthermore, the drain outlet is fluidly connected to a return water channel (not shown) on the inner tub 20 of the first dishwasher 2. In this way, the condensate discharged from the drain outlet can flow back into the inner tub 20 through the return water channel, achieving self-cleaning of the condensate using the drying function of the first dishwasher 2.
[0040] Furthermore, a second drain pipe 52 is connected to the aforementioned drain outlet, and a water collection tank 2011 is provided outside the inner tub 20 of the aforementioned first dishwasher 2. The water collection tank 2011 has a guide port 2012 that is fluidly connected to the aforementioned return water channel, and the upper part of the water collection tank 2011 is open. The free end of the aforementioned second drain pipe 52 leads to the opening of the water collection tank 2011. In this way, condensate water flows into the water collection tank 2011 through the second drain pipe 52, and then flows back to the inner tub 20 through the guide port 2012 via the return water channel.
[0041] Specifically, the inner liner 20 has an opening at the front and includes a base 201 and a side plate 202. The inner side of the base 201 has slots 2013 along its length for the corresponding side plates 202 to be inserted from top to bottom. The water inlet 2012 is formed by the recess of the water collection trough 2011 relative to the inner wall of the inner liner 20. The return water channel is the slot formed between the side plate 202 containing the water collection trough 2011 and the base 201. This eliminates the need for additional modifications to the inner liner 20; the return of condensate can be achieved using the gap formed during the assembly of the inner liner 20 (i.e., the aforementioned slot). Preferably, the inner wall of the water collection trough 2011 relative to the inner liner 20 coincides with the outer wall of the corresponding slot 2013. The inner wall of the slot 2013 has water-guiding notches 2014 spaced along its length, formed by the recessed top edge of the inner wall, which facilitates better return of condensate to the inner liner 20.
[0042] The "fluid communication" referred in the utility model is the spatial position relation between two components or parts (hereinafter collectively referred to as first part, second part), namely, fluid (gas, liquid or mixture of both) can flow or / and be transported from the first part to the second part along the flow path, which can be directly connected between the first part and the second part, or indirectly connected between the first part and the second part through at least one third party, which can be fluid channels such as pipeline, channel, conduit, flow guide, hole, groove, etc., or can be a chamber allowing fluid to flow or a combination thereof.
