Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils technology, specifically to an integrated cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] To improve kitchen space utilization, integrated cleaning devices have emerged in household kitchens. For example, the Chinese invention patent "Integrated Dishwasher" disclosed in patent application number CN202310352709.7 (publication number CN116369809A) mainly includes a sink, an overflow component, and the dishwasher body. The integrated dishwasher also includes an exhaust fan installed within an exhaust duct. The exhaust duct includes a return water section located near the cleaning chamber, with the exhaust fan positioned on the side of the return water section away from the cleaning chamber. The return water section guides the condensate back into the cleaning chamber. The exhaust fan can be located within a guide section, and the return water section can be inclined downwards or vertically. Hot, humid gas flows upwards along the return water section, forming condensate during this flow. This condensate flows downwards along the return water section and back into the cleaning chamber to prevent leakage.

[0003] Condensation is easily generated during airflow in the exhaust pipe; therefore, the exhaust duct of this patent has a water return section. Figure 1 As can be seen, the vent and overflow holes of the sink on the main body of the dishwasher are both located on the right side of the main body. This allows for the connection between the sink and the main body of the dishwasher with a shorter exhaust pipe, and the condensate can easily flow back into the main body of the dishwasher. However, excessive condensate backflow will affect the drying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated cleaning device that produces less condensate and has high drying efficiency during the exhaust process, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: an integrated cleaning device, including a water tank, and an air inlet hole communicating with the interior of the water tank is provided on the rear side wall of the water tank.

[0006] A dishwasher is located below the sink. The dishwasher has an exhaust vent that communicates with its interior. The air inlet and exhaust vent are located on the same side of the dishwasher in the left-right direction.

[0007] Exhaust duct, used to connect the exhaust port and the air inlet port;

[0008] The feature is that the exhaust port is located near the rear side wall of the dishwasher and near the top wall of the dishwasher, and the left and right side walls of the dishwasher are provided with air inlets that communicate with their interiors.

[0009] To facilitate the connection between the exhaust pipe and the exhaust port, a condensate box is installed on the side wall of the dishwasher. The condensate box has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is connected to the exhaust port, and the air outlet is connected to the air inlet through the exhaust pipe. The air outlet is located above the air inlet.

[0010] In order to extract the hot air from the dishwasher, the condensate box is equipped with a fan for driving the airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet. The air inlet and the air outlet are located on the same side of the fan in the left-right direction, which facilitates the return of condensate in the exhaust pipe from the air outlet to the air inlet.

[0011] In order to guide the condensate back to the dishwasher and prevent condensate from accumulating in the condensate box, the condensate box is provided with a guide structure for guiding the condensate to the air inlet.

[0012] The airflow guiding structure can take various forms. A simpler structure includes a first guide rib and a second guide rib. The first guide rib slopes downwards towards the fan, with its upper end connected to the air outlet and its lower end facing the fan. The second guide rib slopes downwards away from the fan, with its upper end facing the fan and its lower end connected to the air inlet. The lower end of the first guide rib is directly above the second guide rib. Condensate in the exhaust pipe flows back from the air outlet to the first guide rib, and then along the first guide rib back from the air inlet to the dishwasher.

[0013] To further facilitate the return of condensate to the dishwasher, the air outlet is inclined from top to bottom toward the inside of the condensate box.

[0014] Preferably, the exhaust duct extends vertically, which not only ensures smooth exhaust but also facilitates the return of condensate in the exhaust duct to the condensate box.

[0015] Air inlet pipes can be installed on both the left and right side walls of the dishwasher, allowing air to enter through a first air inlet and a second air inlet. The air inlets on the left and right side walls are referred to as the first air inlet and the second air inlet, respectively. An air inlet pipe is installed on the side wall of the dishwasher, and a heating element is installed within the air inlet pipe. The air inlet end of the air inlet pipe is connected to the outside, and the air outlet end of the air inlet pipe is connected to the first air inlet. A branch pipe is also installed on the air inlet pipe, which is connected to the second air inlet. This way, only one air inlet pipe is needed to ventilate both air inlets.

[0016] Preferably, the air inlet is located at the bottom of the dishwasher. The arrangement of the two air inlets and the exhaust vent can increase the countercurrent flow of air, allowing the air to flow out quickly and improving the drying efficiency.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: by setting the exhaust port near the rear side wall of the dishwasher and the exhaust port near the top wall of the dishwasher, the distance between the exhaust port and the air inlet is shorter, which makes the length of the exhaust pipe shorter, the airflow path shorter, and the amount of condensate formed.

[0018] In addition, this arrangement of the exhaust port and air inlet port allows the exhaust pipe to extend upward at a large angle, so that even if condensation forms, it can easily flow back into the dishwasher. The condensation cannot accumulate inside the exhaust pipe, thus solving the problem of bubbling sound caused by the rapid flow of gas disturbing the condensation during the exhaust process.

[0019] In addition, the dishwasher has air inlets on both the left and right side walls that are connected to the interior. This multiple air intake creates convection, improving drying efficiency. In addition, the exhaust vents located at the top of the dishwasher quickly extract the airflow, further improving drying efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the integrated cleaning device of this preferred embodiment includes a water tank 1, a dishwasher 2, and an exhaust pipe 3.

[0029] The rear side wall of the sink 1 is provided with an air inlet 11 that communicates with its interior. The dishwasher 2 is located below the sink 1. The upper part of the dishwasher 2 is provided with an exhaust vent 20 that communicates with its interior. The exhaust pipe 3 is used to connect the exhaust vent 20 and the air inlet 11.

[0030] In this embodiment, the air inlet 11 and the exhaust outlet 20 are located on the same side of the central axis of the dishwasher 2 in the left-right direction. The central axis refers to a straight line that passes vertically through the center of the dishwasher 2.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the exhaust port 20 is located near the rear side wall of the dishwasher 2 and near the top wall of the dishwasher 2. The left and right side walls of the dishwasher 2 are provided with air inlets that communicate with their interiors. In this embodiment, the air inlets are located at the bottom of the dishwasher 2.

[0032] The air inlets on the left and right side walls of the dishwasher 2 are referred to as the first air inlet 21 and the second air inlet 22, respectively. An air inlet pipe 23 is provided on one of the side walls (left or right side wall) of the dishwasher 2. A heating element (such as a PTC heating element) is installed in the air inlet pipe 23. The air inlet end of the air inlet pipe 23 is connected to the outside, and the air outlet end of the air inlet pipe 23 is connected to the first air inlet 21. A branch pipe 24 is also provided on the air inlet pipe 23 and is connected to the second air inlet 22. In this way, only one air inlet pipe 23 is needed to ventilate both air inlets.

[0033] like Figure 2 , 5 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in this embodiment, a condensate box 4 is installed on the side wall of the dishwasher 2. The condensate box 4 has an air inlet 41 and an air outlet 42. The air inlet 41 is connected to the exhaust port 20. The air outlet 42 is connected to the air inlet 11 through the exhaust pipe 3. The air outlet 42 is located above the air inlet 41.

[0034] The condensate box 4 is equipped with a fan 5 for driving airflow from the air inlet 41 to the air outlet 42. The fan 5 can adopt an existing structure. The air inlet 41 and the air outlet 42 are located on the same side of the fan 5 in the left-right direction, so that the condensate in the exhaust pipe 3 can flow back from the area next to the fan 5 from the air outlet 42 to the air inlet 41.

[0035] The condensate box 4 is equipped with a flow guiding structure for directing condensate to the air inlet 41. The flow guiding structure includes a first flow guiding rib 43 and a second flow guiding rib 44. The first flow guiding rib 43 slopes downwards towards the fan 5, with its upper end connected to the air outlet 42 and its lower end facing the fan 5. The second flow guiding rib 44 slopes downwards away from the fan 5, with its upper end facing the fan 5 and its lower end connected to the air inlet 41. The lower end of the first flow guiding rib 43 is directly above the second flow guiding rib 44. Condensate in the exhaust pipe 3 flows back from the air outlet 42 to the first flow guiding rib 43, and then flows back along the first flow guiding rib 43 from the air inlet 41 into the dishwasher 2.

[0036] To further facilitate the return of condensate to the dishwasher 2, the air outlet 42 is inclined from top to bottom toward the inside of the condensate box 4.

[0037] In this embodiment, the exhaust pipe 3 extends vertically, which not only makes the exhaust smooth, but also makes it easy for the condensate in the exhaust pipe 3 to flow back into the condensate box 4.

[0038] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, the exhaust port 20 is located near the rear side wall of the dishwasher 2 and near the top wall of the dishwasher 2. This results in a shorter distance between the exhaust port 20 and the air inlet 11, which allows for a shorter length of the exhaust pipe 3. The airflow path is short, resulting in less condensate. Furthermore, this arrangement of the exhaust port 20 and the air inlet 11 allows the exhaust pipe 3 to extend upwards at a large angle. Even if condensate is formed, it is easy for it to flow back into the dishwasher 2. Condensate cannot accumulate inside the exhaust pipe 3. Therefore, the problem of bubbling sounds caused by the rapid flow of gas disturbing the condensate during the exhaust process is solved.

[0039] by Figure 4 As shown, the first air inlet 21 and the second air inlet 22 are located at the lower part of the dishwasher 2, and the exhaust port 20 is located near the top of the dishwasher 2. The first air inlet 21 and the second air inlet 22 simultaneously introduce air to improve the flow of hot air inside the dishwasher 2, and the arrangement of the two air inlets and the exhaust port 20 can increase the countercurrent flow of air, so that the airflow flows out quickly and improves the drying efficiency.
