[0002] A dishwasher is a device that automatically cleans tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives, and forks. Fully automatic dishwashers on the market can be divided into two categories: household and commercial. Household fully automatic dishwashers are only suitable for home use and mainly include cabinet-style, countertop-style, sink-integrated, and combined models. Commercial dishwashers can be classified into five main categories according to their structure: cabinet-style, hood-style, basket-type, belt-type, and ultrasonic. They reduce the labor intensity of kitchen staff in restaurants, hotels, and government canteens, improve work efficiency, and enhance hygiene.

[0003] Dishwashers primarily remove stains from dishes by rinsing with hot water. This process generates a large amount of hot wastewater and steam, leading to heat loss and affecting the ambient temperature. Furthermore, the dishwasher requires heating cold water directly to the necessary washing temperature, resulting in high overall power consumption. Therefore, further improvements to the existing dishwasher structure are necessary. Utility Model Content
