[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the dishwasher of this preferred embodiment includes a cabinet 1, a door 2, an exhaust pipe 3, a mounting base 4, an air duct 5, and an airflow drive component 6.
[0033] The front of the box 1 is open, and the door 2 is rotatably located at the opening of the box 1, so as to open or close the opening. The inner wall of the door 2 is provided with an exhaust hole 21 ("inner wall" refers to the rear wall of the door 2 when closed). An exhaust pipe 3 is provided on the door 2. The air inlet of the exhaust pipe 3 is connected to the exhaust hole 21 of the door 2. The exhaust outlet 31 of the exhaust pipe 3 faces forward and is located below the door 2 when it is closed.
[0034] The above are existing technologies and will not be elaborated further here.
[0035] The fixing seat 4 is installed on the front side of the housing 1 and below the door 2 in the closed state. There is a gap 41 between the fixing seat 4 and the door 2 in the closed state for the exhaust port 31 of the exhaust pipe 3 to pass through. The fixing seat 4 is provided with an air outlet that passes through its top and is located directly in front of the exhaust port 31. In this embodiment, the air outlet includes multiple air holes 42 arranged sequentially in the left and right direction. The air guide pipe 5 is connected to each air hole 42. Of course, it is also possible that there is a single air outlet that extends in the left and right direction.
[0036] The air outlet of the air duct 5 is connected to the air outlet port, and the air inlet is connected to the outside. The airflow driving component 6 is used to drive the airflow from the outside into the air duct 5 and flow to the air outlet port. In this embodiment, the airflow driving component 6 is a fan, the air inlet is connected to the outside, and the air outlet is connected to the air inlet of the air duct 5.
[0037] When the airflow drive component 6 is working, it drives external airflow into the air duct 5 and out through the air outlet, forming an air curtain with a certain width in the left and right directions. This air curtain blocks the high-temperature water vapor discharged from the exhaust port 31, thus preventing users from being scalded by the high-temperature water vapor. At the same time, due to the formation of the air curtain, the airflow outside the exhaust port 31 is accelerated, resulting in a decrease in the air pressure outside the exhaust port 31. At this time, the high air pressure inside the chamber 1 will be reduced due to the decrease in external air pressure, causing the gas to be discharged from the chamber 1 more quickly, thereby accelerating drying and improving the drying effect.
[0038] Preferably, the air outlets are tilted upwards and forwards, so that the resulting air curtain is also tilted upwards and forwards. This prevents the air curtain from blowing into the door 2 and corroding the electrical components inside. Specifically, in this embodiment, each air outlet 42 is tilted upwards and forwards.
[0039] In addition, the dishwasher also includes a human sensor and a controller. The human sensor is electrically connected to the input terminal of the controller, and the airflow drive 6 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the controller. When a user approaches, the human sensor detects the user and sends a signal to the controller. The controller then controls the airflow drive 6 to operate, causing external airflow to enter the air duct 5 and exit from the air outlet. This system is highly intelligent and requires no manual control of the airflow drive 6, although manual control is still possible. The human sensor uses existing sensors, such as infrared sensors, and the electrical connection between the human sensor, controller, and airflow drive uses existing technology.
[0040] The air duct 5 and the airflow drive component 6 are both mounted on the fixed base 4, which can be connected by screws. The rear of the fixed base 4 has a receiving area 43 for accommodating the air duct 5 and the airflow drive component 6. The air duct 5 and the airflow drive component 6 are hidden on the rear side of the fixed base 4, which is compact and does not affect the aesthetics of the dishwasher.
[0041] The front side wall of the fixed base 4 serves as a kick plate, or a kick plate can be installed on the front side wall of the fixed base 4. The appearance of the kick plate can be changed to different structural colors to meet the needs of the whole machine, providing users with more choices and enhancing the appearance of the dishwasher.
[0042] To achieve relative positioning between the mounting base 4 and the housing 1, the mounting base 4 and the housing 1 are fitted together via insert blocks and slots. Furthermore, in this state, the mounting base 4 and the housing 1 are connected by a connector, which in this embodiment is a screw. The mounting base 4 is first pre-positioned using the insert blocks and slots, and then the mounting base 4 is securely positioned onto the housing 1 using the connector. The insert blocks and slots facilitate the installation of the connector.
[0043] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the insert includes a first insert 44 and a second insert 11, and the slot includes a first slot 12 and a second slot 45. The top of the fixing seat 4 and the housing 1 are fitted together by the first insert 44 and the first slot 12. The first insert 44 is inserted into the first slot 12 in the front-back direction. In this embodiment, the first insert 44 is disposed on the rear side wall of the fixing seat 4 and extends in the front-back direction, and the first slot 12 is disposed on the housing 1. Of course, the first insert 44 can also be disposed on the housing 1 and the first slot 12 can be disposed on the fixing seat 4.
[0044] The bottom of the fixing base 4 and the housing 1 are fitted together by a second insert 11 and a second slot 45. The second insert 11 is inserted vertically into the second slot 45. In this embodiment, the bottom of the fixing base 4 is provided with a rearwardly extending connecting strip 46, and the connecting strip 46 is provided with a vertically penetrating second slot 45, so that the second insert 11 can be inserted downward into the second slot 45.
[0045] The first insert 44 and the first slot 12 pre-position the housing 1 and the fixing base 4 in the vertical direction, and the second insert 11 and the second slot 45 pre-position the housing 1 and the fixing base 4 in the front-back direction, resulting in good pre-positioning effect. The assembly structure of the fixing base 4 and the housing 1 in this embodiment is simple, the assembly method is simple and convenient, and the cost is low.
[0046] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.
