Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dishwashers, and in particular to a dishwasher with a 360-degree circulating drying device. Background Technology

[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] Commercial dishwashers typically use high-temperature, high-pressure water jets for rinsing followed by drying. Current dishwashers use a dual-direction airflow system, with an air outlet at the top and a return air plate at the bottom. This results in a relatively singular air outlet location, leading to lower drying efficiency and the potential for water droplet residue that negatively impacts the overall performance. Therefore, further improvements to the existing dishwasher structure are necessary. Utility Model Content

A pipe 12 is provided above the outer wall of the opening of the mounting cavity 101 near the output end of the conveying device 20, which connects to the inside of the mounting cavity 101; the pipe 12 is used to discharge the high-temperature water vapor remaining in the mounting cavity 101 after high-temperature cleaning.

[0036] The spray device 30 is mounted on the frame 10 and located in the mounting cavity 101. The spray device 30 is located on the input side of the conveying device 20. The spray device 30 washes the bowls in the conveying device 20 by spraying high-pressure and high-temperature washing water. In this embodiment, the spraying device 30 includes a high-temperature water tank 31, a first spray head 32, and a second spray head 33. The high-temperature water tank 31 is disposed in the mounting cavity 101, and the first spray head 32 and the second spray head 33 are both disposed in the mounting cavity 101 and located beside the conveying device 20. The first spray head 32 and the second spray head 33 are both connected to the high-temperature water tank 31. The first spray head 32 and the second spray head 33 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying device 20.

The air outlet component 62 surrounds the outer periphery of the conveying device 20. The air outlet component 62 has multiple air outlets 621 facing the four sides of the conveying device 20. The multiple air outlets 621 arranged in multiple directions make the positions of the air outlets 621 more diversified, and the drying process can be realized from different directions, ensuring the drying efficiency and effect. Even for tableware of various shapes, the drying process can be completed. Furthermore, the air volume can be controlled by adjusting the size of the air outlets 621. The air supply assembly 61 is equipped with a fan 611, which is driven to rotate back and forth by the output end of the first drive mechanism 40. The rotation of the fan 611 sends high-temperature gas into the air outlet assembly 62. The air outlet assembly 62 includes four main bodies 622 connected end to end. Each main body 622 has an air outlet 621 that connects to the interior of the main body 622, so that hot air can dry the product simultaneously from four directions: up, down, left, and right. Furthermore, each main body 622 is provided with multiple air outlets 621 to ensure sufficient drying air volume.

[0041] The key design feature of this invention is that the bellows device includes interconnected air supply and air outlet components. The air supply component is connected to the output end of the first drive mechanism and the output end of the heating box, and works in conjunction with the air outlet component to surround the outer periphery of the conveying device. The air outlet component has multiple air outlets facing the four sides of the conveying device. This allows hot air to be delivered into the air outlet component through the air supply component, and through the multiple air outlets around the conveying device, the products in the conveying device can be dried simultaneously from all sides. The more diverse air outlet positions not only improve drying efficiency but also prevent water droplet residue, ensuring the working quality of the dishwasher.
