[0023] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0024] The microbubble detergent device and washing equipment of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of a microbubble detergent device in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes a microbubble detergent device 1, which includes a dispensing module 10 and a bubble generating module 20. The dispensing module 10 is used to dispense detergent. The bubble generating module 20 includes a dissolved air chamber 21 and a foamer 22. The dissolved air chamber 21 includes a dispensing port 211, a water inlet 212 and at least one air inlet 213. The dissolved air chamber 21 receives the detergent dispensed by the dispensing module 10 through the dispensing port 211, receives air through the air inlet 213 and receives washing water through the water inlet 212. The dissolved air chamber 21 is used to mix and pressurize the detergent, washing water and air and then output microbubble detergent through the foamer 22.

[0027] Specifically, see Figure 1As can be seen, the bubble generating module 20 includes a dissolved air chamber 21 and a bubbler 22. The dissolved air chamber 21 is provided with an inlet 211, a water inlet 212, and at least one air inlet 213. Each air inlet 213 can be equipped with a one-way valve 30, allowing air from the external environment to enter the dissolved air chamber 21, but preventing air inside the dissolved air chamber 21 from escaping to the external environment through the air inlet 213. Therefore, during the process of water entering the dissolved air chamber 21, the pressure inside the dissolved air chamber 21 increases as the gas inside cannot be discharged, thus enabling more thorough mixing of detergent, washing water, and air. It should be noted that the air inlet 213 is positioned higher than the water inlet 212 on the dissolved air chamber 21, ensuring that air and water intake do not interfere with each other. In this embodiment, the air inlet 213 may include one or more, which can be determined according to the size of the dissolved air chamber 21, and is not specifically limited here.

[0028] After the detergent, washing water, and air are pressurized in the dissolved air chamber 21, they can be output outward through the foamer 22, specifically to the washing chamber 2, so that the items to be washed can be cleaned in the washing chamber 2. In this embodiment, the foamer 22 is used to output the microbubble detergent from the dissolved air chamber 21, which can further increase the amount of bubbles contained in the microbubble detergent. Specifically, the foamer 22 includes multiple output paths with different diameters, wherein the output pressure and the bubble size of the microbubble detergent are different for each output path with a different diameter. For example, the foamer 22 includes five output paths with different diameters. The foamer 22 can generate more bubbles through throttling cavitation. It should be noted that the smaller the diameter, the greater the pressure output from the dissolved air chamber 21 to the washing chamber 2, and the smaller the bubbles in the microbubble detergent, resulting in a relatively better washing effect.

[0029] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water inlet 212 is connected to an external water supply system, and an inlet valve is provided between the water inlet 212 and the water supply system.

[0030] Specifically, the external water supply system can determine whether to supply water to the dissolved air chamber 21 based on the status of the inlet valve. When the inlet valve is open, the external water supply system can supply water to the dissolved air chamber 21 through the inlet 212. When the inlet valve is closed, the external water supply system can stop supplying water to the dissolved air chamber 21. When the water supply system supplies water to the dissolved air chamber 21, the detergent can be rinsed and mixed by the water pressure of the tap water, thereby generating microbubbles. There is no need to add an additional pressure pump, reducing design costs.

[0031] In this embodiment, the microbubble detergent device 1 is applied to a washing equipment, which includes a main washing stage and a rinsing stage. In the main washing stage, detergent, washing water and air are mixed in the dissolved air chamber and then output as microbubble detergent.

[0032] Specifically, the washing equipment can be a washing machine, dishwasher, etc. This embodiment uses a dishwasher as an example. The dishwasher includes a main wash stage and a rinsing stage. Of course, in some dishwasher examples, there may also be a pre-wash stage, a main wash stage, a rinsing stage, a washing stage, and a drying stage. In the pre-wash stage, the dishwasher only rinses off the more obvious food residue, while the main wash stage and the rinsing stage perform a more detailed cleaning of the grease on the dishes. In this embodiment, the microbubble detergent generated by mixing detergent, washing water, and air is completed in the main wash stage to improve the washing effect of the main wash stage. In addition, in order to improve the washing effect, this embodiment can also set up an additional water inlet to supply water to the washing chamber 2. This water inlet can be equipped with a water softener, a breather, etc., to soften the water entering the washing chamber 2 and further improve the washing effect. The water inlet circuit and the bubble generating module 20 can work together. In a specific example, if the dishwasher needs 6L of detergent during the main wash, then after estimating based on factors such as oil stains, it is determined that the bubble generating module 20 needs to provide 1.5L of microbubble detergent, and the water inlet circuit needs to provide 4.5L of soft water. Therefore, the water inlet valve is controlled to provide 1.5L of washing water to the dissolved air chamber 21, and the water inlet valve on the water inlet circuit is controlled to provide 4.5L of softened water to the washing chamber 2. This allows the water inlet circuit and the bubble generating module 20 to work together to provide 6L of detergent to the dishwasher, ensuring the washing effect of the dishwasher.

[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, the dispensing module 10 includes a storage cavity 11 and an actuator 12, wherein the storage cavity 11 is used to store detergent; the actuator 12 is connected to the storage cavity 11 and the dispensing port 211 respectively, and is used to dispense the detergent in the storage cavity 11 into the dissolved air cavity 21.

[0034] In other words, the dispensing module 10 is equipped with a storage chamber 11 for storing detergent, and the actuator 12 can drive the detergent in the storage chamber 11 into the dissolved air chamber 21. The driving mode of the actuator 12 can include gravity drive and / or pump drive. Specifically, a flow meter and / or weight sensor can be added, and with the time setting, the target amount of detergent can be accurately dispensed into the dissolved air chamber 21.

[0035] See Figure 2 It is known that the dispensing module 10 also includes at least one shut-off valve 13, which is disposed between the actuator 12 and the dispensing port 211.

[0036] Specifically, when the dissolved air chamber 21 discharges microbubble detergent into the washing chamber 2, because the output diameter of the foamer 22 is small and the air inlet 213 is equipped with a one-way valve 30 that cannot release pressure, if the shut-off valve 13 is not located between the actuator 12 and the dispensing port 211, the microbubble detergent in the dissolved air chamber 21 will backflow into the actuator 12 due to the pressure difference. To avoid this situation, the microbubble detergent device 1 of this embodiment places the shut-off valve 13 between the actuator 12 and the dispensing port 211, which can protect the actuator 12 and improve the service life of the dispensing module 10.

[0037] Additionally, it should be noted that in some embodiments, the detergent stored in the storage cavity 11 includes at least one of detergent liquid, rinse aid, detergent powder, detergent tablets, and detergent beads.

[0038] See Figure 3 The application of the microbubble detergent device 1 is described below. Taking a dishwasher as an example, when the dishwasher needs to wash dishes, the actuator 12 in the dispensing module 10 can drive the detergent in the storage chamber 11 to the dissolved air chamber 21. The dissolved air chamber 21 can be circulated with washing water and air through the air inlet 213 and the water inlet 212. After the washing water, detergent and air are pressurized and mixed in the dissolved air chamber 21, they are input into the washing chamber 2 through the foamer 22. The foamer 22 can increase the amount of bubbles by throttling cavitation, thereby further improving the washing effect. The washing pump 3 can pump the washing water in the washing chamber 2 to the top of the washing chamber 2 and spray it down to achieve circulating washing. After washing a preset number of times or a preset time, the water can be drained through the drain outlet at the bottom of the washing chamber 2. It should be noted that air flows into the dissolved air chamber 21 through the air inlet 213 via the one-way valve 30, and washing water flows into the dissolved air chamber 21 through the water inlet 212. Since the one-way valve 30 is installed at the air inlet 213, the gas in the dissolved air chamber 21 cannot be discharged when the washing water flows into the dissolved air chamber 21, thus increasing the pressure in the dissolved air chamber 21 and dissolving the gas in the water. After the aerator 22 is opened, due to the throttling and cavitation effect, the mixed microbubble detergent is smoothly supplied to the washing chamber 2. Then the washing pump 3 circulates the washing water in the washing chamber 2 and discharges it after washing is completed, thus completing the washing process.

[0039] In summary, the microbubble detergent device 1 of this utility model can fully integrate microbubble water and detergent, thereby improving the cleaning effect of detergent and the cleaning rate of dishwasher.

The microbubble detergent device 1 provides the microbubble detergent to the washing chamber 2, and the washing pump 3 provides clean water to the washing chamber 2, so as to wash the items to be washed in the washing chamber 2 by means of the microbubble detergent and the clean water.
