Abstract
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 are both located on the right side of the dishwasher body. This allows for the connection between the sink and the dishwasher body with a shorter exhaust pipe, and also makes it easier for condensate to flow back into the dishwasher body.
[0004] However, for some integrated dishwashers, the vent on the dishwasher body and the overflow hole of the sink are located on different sides of the dishwasher body in the left-right direction. This requires the exhaust duct to be long and have bends in order to connect the dishwasher body and the sink. Although this patent makes the end of the exhaust duct near the vent as the return section, with the exhaust duct being long and having bends, the condensate inside is difficult to flow back to the dishwasher body along the exhaust duct. This will cause the airflow to impact the condensate during the flow, producing bubbling and abnormal noises in the exhaust duct.
[0005] In addition, the compact installation of components in this type of integrated dishwasher means that an unreasonable spatial layout can affect the washing capacity of the main body of the dishwasher. Optimizing the spatial layout and transportation and installation to the greatest extent is also a problem. Utility Model Content
[0006] The first technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated cleaning device that prevents bubbling noises caused by the accumulation of condensate inside the exhaust pipe, in light of the current state of the technology.
[0007] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a compact integrated cleaning device in light of the current state of the prior art.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the first and second technical problems mentioned above is: an integrated cleaning device, comprising...
[0009] A water tank, wherein the water tank is provided with an air inlet that communicates with its interior;
[0010] A dishwasher, wherein the dishwasher is provided with an exhaust vent that communicates with its interior;
[0011] Exhaust duct, used to connect the exhaust port and the air inlet port;
[0012] The invention is characterized in that the air inlet and the air outlet are located on different sides of the central axis of the dishwasher in the left-right direction, the exhaust pipe is partially located between the top wall of the dishwasher and the bottom wall of the water tank, the exhaust pipe has at least one bend for vertical and horizontal connection, an exhaust transition structure connected to the exhaust pipe is provided at at least one bend, and the part of the exhaust pipe located at the top of the dishwasher and / or the exhaust transition structure are both flat, and the exhaust transition structure is located at the edge of the dishwasher.
[0013] To reduce the space occupied by the exhaust transition structure and the exhaust duct, the exhaust transition structure is located at the corner of the dishwasher, and also at the top of the dishwasher or on the side where the air inlet is located. This results in a compact overall structure. Furthermore, the exhaust transition structure of this invention is located at one of the bends and adjacent to the side where the air inlet is located. At this point, the airflow has already flowed through the exhaust duct for a period of time, making it easier to generate condensate. Therefore, placing the condensation structure here facilitates the collection of condensate.
[0014] Preferably, the exhaust transition structure and / or exhaust duct are at least partially attached to the wall of the dishwasher. This not only results in a compact structure, but also allows heat from the dishwasher to be transferred to the exhaust transition structure and exhaust duct, reducing the amount of condensate generated.
[0015] Preferably, the exhaust transition structure is provided with an air inlet, an air outlet, and a water outlet, with the air outlet located at the top of the exhaust transition structure. The exhaust transition structure is detachably connected to the exhaust pipe. During transportation, the exhaust pipe can be removed from the exhaust transition structure for easy transport.
[0016] Preferably, the air inlet is located on the side wall of the exhaust transition structure, the air outlet is located on the top wall of the exhaust transition structure, and the water outlet is located on the bottom wall of the exhaust transition structure. The water outlet and the air outlet are vertically offset to reduce airflow backflow.
[0017] To facilitate the discharge of condensate, the exhaust transition structure is partially recessed to form a concave region. The water outlet is located in the concave region. The concave region increases the condensation area of the airflow, causing moisture to condense preferentially before the exhaust transition structure. Under the action of gravity, the condensate will flow towards the concave region and eventually be discharged.
[0018] Preferably, the exhaust transition structure is internally divided into a first part and a second part. The air inlet is located in the first part, and the air outlet and water outlet are located in the second part. The bottom wall of the first part is a first inclined surface that slopes downwards towards the second part; this first inclined surface is the guide inclined surface. The bottom wall of the second part is a stepped structure with the height decreasing sequentially from the air outlet to the water outlet; the lowest point of the bottom wall of the second part is the recessed area. The arrangement of the first inclined surface and the stepped structure of the second part increases the condensation area and accelerates the discharge of condensate.
[0019] Preferably, the exhaust transition structure is located at the top of the dishwasher. The exhaust transition structure is formed by two half-shells joined together, and each half-shell has a concave slope that adapts to the top wall of the dishwasher and the bottom wall of the sink. This allows the entire exhaust transition structure to fit snugly against the sink and the dishwasher. At the same time, the concave upper shell facilitates the installation of the exhaust pipe, reduces the overall height of the exhaust transition structure, reduces the space occupied under the sink, and further reduces the impact on the dishwasher's capacity.
[0020] Preferably, the exhaust transition structure is provided with an air inlet, an air outlet, and a water outlet. The exhaust transition structure includes vertically extending vertical ribs and inclined ribs extending downwards. The vertical ribs extend vertically and have a gap between their lower ends and the bottom wall of the exhaust transition structure. The upper ends of the inclined ribs are connected to the side walls of the exhaust transition structure, and their lower ends are connected to the upper ends of the vertical ribs. The inclined ribs and vertical ribs work together to divide the interior of the exhaust transition structure into a first region and a second region. The air inlet and air outlet are located in the first region, and the water outlet is located in the second region. This arrangement of the air outlet and water outlet in the first and second regions respectively ensures that the airflow entering from the air inlet preferentially flows towards the air outlet, rather than directly into the water outlet. Furthermore, the condensate formed during the airflow flow will flow through the gap between the vertical ribs and the exhaust transition structure into the second region, and finally flow out from the water outlet.
[0021] To further facilitate the flow of air from the air inlet to the air outlet, the lower end of the inclined rib extends downward toward the air outlet to form an extension rib. The lower end of the extension rib faces the air outlet or extends into the air outlet. The extension rib and the inclined rib together constitute a guide rib that guides the airflow from the air inlet toward the air outlet.
[0022] Preferably, the exhaust duct includes a first duct body and a second duct body. The first duct body includes a horizontally extending section and a vertically extending section. The lower end of the vertical section is connected to the exhaust port, and the upper end of the vertical section is connected to the horizontal section. The horizontal section extends horizontally and is located between the dishwasher and the sink. The second duct body extends vertically at least partially. The lower end of the second duct body is connected to the horizontal section, and the upper end is connected to the air inlet. The bend between the horizontal section and the second duct body is the bending point. An exhaust transition structure is located between the horizontal section and the second duct body. This structural form of the first duct body allows for smooth airflow, minimizes the number of bends in the exhaust duct, and keeps the exhaust duct length as short as possible.
[0023] In the above scheme, an air inlet seat is provided at the air inlet hole of the water tank. The air inlet seat includes a groove that is connected to the air inlet hole. The air inlet seat also has an air intake channel that is connected to the exhaust transition structure. The air intake channel and the groove are vertically offset. The top of the groove is open to form an air outlet that is connected to the air intake channel.
[0024] To prevent water in the tank from overflowing from the top opening, the tank is also provided with an overflow hole. When the water level exceeds the overflow hole, it will enter the overflow pipe from the overflow hole and eventually be discharged. In this application, the overflow hole and the air inlet are at the same height. To prevent water from overflowing from the air inlet into the exhaust pipe, the air inlet channel is provided with a vertically extending limiting rib that bends toward the air inlet on the side of the air outlet. The limiting rib plays a role in blocking the water flow.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The air inlet on the sink and the exhaust port on the dishwasher are located on different sides of the dishwasher in the left-right direction. This requires the exhaust pipe to be longer and have bends in order to connect the air inlet and the exhaust port. The bends are most prone to condensation. Therefore, this application sets an exhaust transition structure at the bends to condense and discharge the water, preventing the condensation from accumulating in the exhaust pipe and causing abnormal noise when blown by the airflow.
[0026] In addition, because the installation space between the sink and the dishwasher is narrow, the exhaust transition structure and / or exhaust pipe at the top of the dishwasher are flat and located at the edge of the dishwasher to facilitate the installation of the exhaust transition structure and exhaust pipe, resulting in a compact structure.

[0038] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0039] Example 1
[0040] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the integrated cleaning device of this preferred embodiment includes a water tank 1, a dishwasher 2, an exhaust pipe, and an exhaust transition structure 5.
[0041] The sink 1 has an air inlet 11 that communicates with its interior, and the dishwasher 2 has an exhaust vent that communicates with its interior. An exhaust pipe connects the exhaust vent and the air inlet 11. In this embodiment, the air inlet 11 is located on the rear side wall of the sink 1, and the dishwasher 2 is located directly below the sink 1.
[0042] The air inlet 11 and the exhaust port are located on different sides of the central axis of the dishwasher 2 in the left-right direction (the central axis refers to the axis that passes through the central part of the dishwasher 2 vertically). The exhaust pipe is partially located between the top wall of the dishwasher 2 and the bottom wall of the sink 1. The exhaust pipe has at least one bend for connection in the vertical and horizontal directions. At least one bend is provided with an exhaust transition structure 5 that is larger than the airflow area of the exhaust pipe. The exhaust transition structure 5 is provided with an air inlet 51, an air outlet 52 and a water outlet 53 for condensate to flow out. In this embodiment, the exhaust transition structure 5 is box-shaped.
[0043] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, the exhaust pipe includes a first pipe body 3 and a second pipe body 4. The air inlet end of the first pipe body 3 is connected to the exhaust port, and the exhaust end of the second pipe body 4 is connected to the air inlet 11. The exhaust transition structure 5 is located between the air outlet end of the first pipe body 3 and the air inlet end of the second pipe body 4. The air inlet 51 is connected to the first pipe body 3, and the air outlet 52 is connected to the second pipe body 4.
[0044] Specifically, the first pipe body 3 includes a horizontally extending transverse section 31 and a vertically extending vertical section 32. The lower end of the vertical section 32 is connected to the exhaust port, and the upper end of the vertical section 32 is connected to the transverse section 31. The transverse section 31 extends left and right and is located between the top wall of the dishwasher 2 and the bottom wall of the sink 1. The second pipe body 4 extends vertically (this means that the two ends of the second pipe body 4 are at different heights, and it is not required that the second pipe body 4 extends strictly along the vertical line). The lower end of the second pipe body 4 is connected to the transverse section 31, and the upper end is connected to the air inlet 11. A bend is formed between the second pipe body 4 and the transverse section 31, where the exhaust transition structure 5 is installed.
[0045] This structural form of the first pipe body 3 ensures smooth airflow, minimizes bends in the exhaust pipe, and keeps the exhaust pipe as short as possible. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the length of the first pipe body 3 is greater than the length of the second pipe body 4. Since the airflow is somewhat cooler after passing through the first pipe body 3, condensation is easily formed; therefore, an exhaust transition structure 5 is provided at the outlet end of the first pipe body 3.
[0046] Furthermore, the first pipe body 3 is at least partially and / or the exhaust transition structure 5 is at least partially attached to the side wall of the dishwasher 2. In other words, the portion of the exhaust transition structure 5 and / or the exhaust pipe located at the top of the dishwasher 2 is at least partially attached to the wall of the dishwasher 2. This not only makes the structure compact, but also allows the heat from the dishwasher 2 to be transferred to the exhaust transition structure 5 and the exhaust pipe, reducing the amount of condensate generated. The water outlet 53 is connected to the drain pipe 7, and the water outlet end of the drain pipe 7 is connected to the base of the dishwasher 2, allowing the condensate to evaporate in the base. Alternatively, the water outlet end of the drain pipe 7 can be connected to the washing chamber of the dishwasher 2.
[0047] Preferably, the airflow area of the exhaust transition structure 5 is larger than that of the exhaust pipe. When the airflow passes through this area, the flow area increases, making the exhaust smooth and reducing the internal pressure of the dishwasher 2. Otherwise, if the internal pressure of the dishwasher 2 is too high, the airflow will leak out from the door gap.
[0048] In this embodiment, from Figure 6 As can be seen, the air inlet 51 is located on the side wall of the exhaust transition structure 5, the air outlet 52 is located on the top wall of the exhaust transition structure 5, and the water outlet 53 is located on the bottom wall of the exhaust transition structure 5. The water outlet 53 and the air outlet 52 are vertically offset to reduce airflow backflow. To facilitate smooth airflow discharge, such as Figure 7 As shown, the plane where the air outlet end face of the air inlet 51 is located is taken as the reference plane, and the straight line that intersects the center line L1 of the air inlet 51 and is parallel to the reference plane is taken as the reference line L2. The intersection point of the reference line L2 and the center line L1 of the air inlet 51 is called the first point. The point where the center line L3 of the air outlet 52 is located on the air outlet end face of the air outlet 52 is called the second point. The angle α between the line L4 connecting the first point and the second point and the reference line L2 is between 45° and 135°.
[0049] The centerline L1 of the air inlet 51 refers to the straight line passing through the center of the air inlet 51 along the direction of airflow, and the centerline L3 of the air outlet 52 refers to the straight line passing through the center of the air outlet 52 along the direction of airflow.
[0050] The bottom wall of the exhaust transition structure 5 is partially recessed to form a recessed area 54. The water outlet 53 is located in the recessed area 54. Under the action of gravity, the condensate will flow towards the recessed area 54 and eventually be discharged.
[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the exhaust transition structure 5 is internally divided into a first part and a second part. An air inlet 51 is provided corresponding to the first part, and an air outlet 52 and a water outlet 53 are provided corresponding to the second part. The bottom wall of the first part is a first inclined surface 55 that slopes downwards towards the second part. This first inclined surface 55 is a guide slope that slopes from the air inlet 51 towards the air outlet 52. The bottom wall of the second part is a stepped structure with the height decreasing sequentially from the air outlet 52 to the water outlet 53. The lowest point of the bottom wall of the second part is the recessed area 54. The arrangement of the first inclined surface 55 and the stepped structure of the second part increases the condensation area and accelerates the discharge of condensate.
[0052] Because of the integrated cleaning device, the components are arranged compactly. Therefore, the exhaust pipe at the top of the dishwasher 2 and / or the exhaust transition structure 5 are both flat. The exhaust transition structure 5 is located at the edge of the dishwasher 2. In this embodiment, the exhaust transition structure 5 is located at the corner of the dishwasher 2 and at the top of the dishwasher 2.
[0053] The exhaust transition structure 5 is formed by two half-shells joined together, each half-shell having a concave slope 56 that fits the top wall of the dishwasher 2 and the bottom wall of the sink 1. This allows the entire exhaust transition structure 5 to fit snugly against the sink 1 and the dishwasher 2, while the concave upper shell facilitates the installation of the exhaust pipe and reduces the overall height of the dishwasher 2.
[0054] The exhaust transition structure 5 can be integrally formed with the exhaust duct or designed separately. Integral forming ensures a secure connection between the exhaust transition structure 5 and the exhaust duct, while a separate design facilitates processing, packaging, transportation, and subsequent installation and maintenance. Alternatively, the exhaust duct and exhaust transition structure 5 can be designed separately and connected only when assembly is required, prior to the assembly of the integrated cleaning device. Preferably, the exhaust transition structure 5 and the exhaust duct can be detachably connected, for example, through a threaded connection.
[0055] Example 2
[0056] like Figures 8-11 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:
[0057] 1. In this embodiment, the exhaust transition structure 5 is located on the side of the air inlet 11 of the dishwasher 2, that is, the exhaust transition structure 5 is located on the side of the dishwasher 2, and the exhaust transition structure 5 is located at the corner of the top of the dishwasher 2. This makes the overall structure compact; and the exhaust transition structure 5 is located at the bend on the side adjacent to the air inlet 11, where the airflow has already flowed in the exhaust pipe for a period of time and is more likely to generate condensate, so the condensation structure is located here to facilitate the collection of condensate.
[0058] 2. The internal structure of the exhaust transition structure 5 in this embodiment differs from that in embodiment 1, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the exhaust transition structure 5 of this embodiment is provided with a vertically extending vertical rib 57 and an inclined rib 58 extending from top to bottom. The vertical rib 57 extends vertically and has a gap between its lower end and the bottom wall of the exhaust transition structure 5. The upper end of the inclined rib 58 is connected to the side wall of the exhaust transition structure 5, and the lower end is connected to the upper end of the vertical rib 57. The inclined rib 58 and the vertical rib 57 work together to divide the interior of the exhaust transition structure 5 into a first region 501 and a second region 502. The air inlet 51 and the air outlet 52 are located in the first region 501, and the water outlet 53 is located in the second region 502. By setting the air outlet 52 and the water outlet 53 in the first region 501 and the second region 502 respectively, the airflow entering from the air inlet 51 will preferentially flow to the air outlet 52 instead of flowing directly to the water outlet 53. The condensate formed during the airflow will flow through the gap between the vertical rib 57 and the exhaust transition structure 5 to the second region 502 and finally flow out from the water outlet 53.
[0059] In addition, the lower end of the inclined rib 58 continues to extend downward toward the air outlet 52 to form an extension rib 59. The lower end of the extension rib 59 faces the air outlet 52 or extends into the air outlet 52. The extension rib 59 and the inclined rib 58 together constitute a guide rib that guides the airflow from the air inlet 51 toward the air outlet 52. The wall surface of the guide rib is a guide slope that is inclined from the air inlet 51 toward the air outlet 52.
[0060] 3. For example Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, an air inlet seat 6 is provided at the air inlet hole 11 of the water tank 1. The air inlet seat 6 includes a groove that is connected to the air inlet hole 11. The air inlet seat 6 also has an air inlet channel 61 that is connected to the second pipe body 4. The air inlet channel 61 and the groove are vertically offset. The top of the groove is through to form an air outlet 62 that is connected to the air inlet channel 61.
[0061] To prevent water in the water tank 1 from overflowing from the top opening, the water tank 1 is also provided with an overflow hole. When the water level exceeds the overflow hole, it will enter the overflow pipe from the overflow hole and eventually be discharged. In this application, the overflow hole and the air inlet 11 are at the same height. In order to prevent water from overflowing from the air inlet 11 into the exhaust pipe, the air inlet channel 61 is provided with a vertically extending limiting rib 63 that bends toward the air inlet 62 on the side of the air outlet 62. The limiting rib 63 plays a role in blocking the water flow.
[0062] 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.
