Figure 2The gas exhaust path and the condensed water return path of the exhaust device are shown in the embodiment. The exhaust device comprises a condenser 1 and a breather 2, the condenser 2 comprises a shell 11 with a cavity and an air extraction mechanism 2, the shell 11 is provided with an air duct 111 and a condensing passage 112, and the air extraction mechanism 2 is arranged in the air duct 111. The condensing passage 112 is provided with an air inlet 1121, the air duct 111 is provided with an air outlet 1113, the condensing passage 112 communicates with the air duct 111, and the air extraction mechanism 2 can accelerate the gas entering the condensing passage 112 from the air inlet 1121. The air extraction mechanism 2 is arranged in the air duct 111 behind the condensing passage 112, and the gas entering the condenser 1 needs to pass through the condensing passage 112 to remove the water vapor, and then contact the air extraction mechanism 2, thereby avoiding the existence of residual water vapor in the gas, which causes a large amount of condensed water to form on the surface of the air extraction mechanism 2, and indirectly avoiding the surface rusting or failure of the air extraction mechanism 2 caused by water.
[0025] The breather 2 is provided with a breathing port 201, a steam outlet 202 and a vent hole 203, the breathing port 201 communicates with the inner container of the dishwasher, the vent hole 203 communicates with the outside to balance the air pressure in the inner container, and the steam outlet 202 communicates with the air inlet 1121. The wet steam in the inner container of the dishwasher enters the breather 2 from the breathing port 201, and the wet steam is initially cooled by the wall surface of the breather 2. The condensed water formed after cooling is returned to the inner container, and the gas after cooling contains residual water vapor. At this time, the gas is discharged from the steam outlet 202 and then enters the condenser 1 from the air inlet 1121. The gas enters the condenser 1, is first cooled and removes the residual water vapor, and the condensed water formed by the secondary cooling is returned to the breather 2 through the air inlet 1121. Finally, the dry gas flows through the air duct 111, and the air outlet 1113 is discharged to the outside, so that the water vapor content in the discharged gas is low and the temperature is low, thereby avoiding the generation of condensed water on the surface of the cabinet and solving the problem of mold and water dripping of the cabinet.

[0027] More specifically, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4The condensation baffle structure and the condensate water backflow path are shown. The condensation baffles 113 extend outward from the side wall of the condensation channel 112, and the extension directions of two adjacent condensation baffles 113 are opposite. It can be understood that one end of the condensation baffle 113 is connected with the side wall of the condensation channel 112, and the other end has a gap with the side wall of the condensation channel 112; in addition, the non-same end of the two adjacent condensation baffles 113 is connected with the side wall of the condensation channel 112, so that the flow path of the gas in the condensation channel 112 is in an "S" shape, the gas flow path is lengthened, and the contact area between the gas and the condensation baffle 113 is increased, thereby greatly improving the condensation effect of water vapor in the gas, and the gas entering the air duct 111 is in a low-temperature and low-water-vapor-content state. In this embodiment, due to the different extension directions of the adjacent condensation baffles 113, the condensate water gathered on part of the condensation baffles 113 is concentrated on the side wall of the condensation channel 112. In order to quickly discharge the condensate water from the condensation channel 112 and avoid the condensate water overflowing into the air duct 111, the condensation baffle 113 is also provided with a condensate water backflow hole 1131, and the condensate water flows to the gas inlet 1121 through the backflow hole 1131 and then flows back to the respirator 2 from the steam outlet 202.

The condensed water in the condenser 1 enters the flow guide channel 21 through the air inlet 1121 and the steam outlet 202 in sequence and flows downward under the flow guide action of the flow guide plate 21. In order to avoid overflow of the condensed water to other parts inside the respirator 2, the respirator 2 is internally provided with a water retaining rib 22, the water retaining rib 22 extends upward from the bottom of the breathing port 202, so as to guide the condensed water in the flow guide channel 21 to the breathing port 202, and then backflow into the inner container from the breathing port 202. In the embodiment, the respirator 2 is internally further provided with an arc-shaped baffle 23, the arc-shaped baffle 23 is located above the breathing port 201, so that the humid and hot steam in the respirator 2 is partially blocked by the arc-shaped baffle 23, and the effect of the primary cooling is further enhanced, the water vapor content in the steam entering the condenser 2 is reduced, and the gas discharged from the air outlet 1113 is more stable, which is low in water vapor content and low in temperature.
