Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dishwasher technology, specifically to a hot drying device for a dishwasher. Background Technology

[0002] After washing the dishes, the dishwasher needs to dry the dishes in the washing container to prevent secondary contamination due to moisture. Usually, a fan is used to draw in air, and a heating device is set up to heat the air drawn in. The heated air is sent into the washing container to dry the dishes. The cold air flow channel that draws in the air from the outside and the hot air flow channel that is discharged from the drying container are set up independently.

[0003] Existing dishwashers typically employ a horizontally arranged tubular heater at the top of the washing chamber, with a centrifugal fan at the bottom featuring a single air outlet. This design suffers from uneven heat distribution; the upper rack is prone to localized overheating due to its proximity to the heating source, while the bottom dishes are obstructed, resulting in insufficient drying. To address this, we propose a new dishwasher drying device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing dishwashers' hot drying devices often use horizontally arranged tubular heaters at the top of the washing chamber and centrifugal fans with a single air outlet below. This structure suffers from uneven hot air distribution, with the upper dish rack prone to localized overheating due to its proximity to the heating source, and the bottom dishes being obstructed, resulting in insufficient drying. This invention provides a hot drying device for a dishwasher.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A dishwasher's hot drying device includes a heating backrest and a docking backplate. The heating backrest is fixedly installed on the rear wall of the dishwasher's inner cavity, and two dish racks are fixedly installed on the front side of the docking backplate. The two dish racks are connected and fixed to the side walls of the dishwasher's inner cavity via drawer slides. A ventilation cavity is provided on the side of the docking backplate facing the heating backrest, and multiple hot air delivery rods are provided on the front side of the docking backplate corresponding to the bottom of the two dish racks. The multiple hot air delivery rods are connected to the ventilation cavity on the back side of the docking backplate, and the ventilation cavity on the back side of the docking backplate is connected to the air outlet of the heating backrest.

[0007] Furthermore, multiple air jet nozzles are evenly distributed at the upper end of the hot air delivery base rod.

[0008] Furthermore, a centrifugal fan is installed at the upper end of the inner cavity of the heating back seat, and the air inlet of the centrifugal fan faces rearward and is connected to the outside air through an air inlet pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, both the docking back plate and the tableware placement basket are made of stainless steel, and the bottom of the ventilation cavity on the back side of the docking back plate is arrayed with multiple heat exchange protrusions.

[0011] Furthermore, a square groove is formed on the front of the heating back seat corresponding to the rear edge of the docking back plate, and a magnetic sealing rubber strip is fixedly connected in the square groove, the magnetic sealing rubber strip abutting against the rear side of the docking back plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model features a heated backrest that heats the back of the dishwasher's interior cavity and sprays hot air from the bottom. A connecting backplate connects with the front of the heated backrest, allowing hot air to be evenly distributed to the bottom of the dish rack via a bottom rod. This ensures the hot air is directed closer to the underside of the dishes. An exhaust mechanism at the top of the dishwasher uses an exhaust fan to extract the hot air after drying. Utilizing the low density of hot air, it rises, ensuring air circulation and effectively improving drying efficiency. This also avoids the problems of localized overheating in the upper rack due to proximity to the heating source and insufficient drying of dishes at the bottom due to obstruction. This device has a simple structure, reasonable design, and is easy to install and maintain, providing a more efficient and uniform drying solution for dishwashers.

[0014] 2. This utility model features a centrifugal fan that draws in room temperature air from the outside through an air inlet pipe, pressurizes it, and pumps it downwards. After being heated by a resistance wire heating tube, the air is ejected from multiple hot air outlets located near the bottom. These hot air outlets ensure that the hot air is evenly distributed into the dish rack, resulting in uniform heating of the dishes. This avoids the problem of insufficient drying caused by the bottom dishes being obstructed, thus improving the drying effect.

[0015] 3. This invention utilizes multiple heat exchange protrusions, which exchange heat with the hot air passing through the ventilation cavity on the back of the docking back plate. Through heat conduction via the docking back plate and the dish rack, the drying efficiency of the dishes is further improved. Simultaneously, the stainless steel material offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability, ensuring the dishwasher's lifespan and the hygiene and safety of the dishes.
