Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen tableware cleaning equipment, specifically a fast-drying dishwasher. Background Technology
[0002] Commercial top-loading dishwashers are high-efficiency tableware cleaning equipment designed specifically for commercial venues such as restaurants, hotels, and canteens. They are characterized by their compact structure, convenient operation, and high cleaning efficiency.
[0003] For example, an existing Chinese patent (CN114027758A) discloses a spray system for a hinged commercial dishwasher. The frame assembly has a water tank in the middle, a baffle is installed on the top of the frame assembly, and a second spray pipe crossbeam is installed at the bottom of the baffle. Several upper spray heads are fixed at equal intervals on the bottom surface of the second spray pipe crossbeam. A first spray pipe crossbeam is installed on the bottom surface of the water tank, and several lower spray heads are equally spaced on the top surface of the first spray pipe crossbeam. This invention utilizes the reciprocating sliding of the second and first spray pipe crossbeams above and below the water tank, causing the lower and upper spray heads to reciprocate above and below the dishwasher basket. This allows the water jets from the lower and upper spray heads to spray back and forth within the water tank, thereby accelerating the rinsing efficiency of the dishes placed in the dishwasher basket within the water tank and improving the cleanliness of the dishes.
[0004] Currently available commercial top-loading dishwashers generally suffer from a significant drawback after the dishwashing process: dishes rely on natural air drying or residual heat from the equipment to evaporate moisture, resulting in low drying efficiency and failing to meet the immediate needs of high-turnover dining scenarios. This deficiency is particularly pronounced during peak dining hours or in fast-paced restaurant environments like fast-food chains, significantly extending dish turnover cycles, increasing labor costs, and potentially posing hygiene risks due to incompletely dried dishes, severely impacting operational efficiency and customer experience. Therefore, a fast-drying dishwasher is proposed. Utility Model Content

To close the top cover 2, pressing it downwards causes the hinge to rotate in the opposite direction, closing the top cover 2 back onto the dishwasher body 1. The hinged dishwasher body 1 includes at least: a spray arm: a rotatable design with evenly distributed high-pressure spray nozzles covering the surface of the tableware; a water pump: providing high-pressure water flow to ensure cleaning power; removing oil and food residue through high-temperature, high-pressure water flow; a coarse filter: intercepting large particles to prevent pipe blockage; a fine filter: further filtering fine particles to protect the water pump and spray system, extending equipment life and maintaining water quality; and an electric heating element: directly heating the washing water with rapid temperature rise. Temperature sensor: Monitors water temperature in real time to ensure effective cleaning. Prevents water temperature from becoming too high or too low, ensuring equipment safety. Other existing structures of top-loading dishwashers will not be detailed here.
[0023] The top cover 2 is equipped with a fan hood 3, and fans 5 are located on both sides of the bottom of the fan hood 3. Air intakes 6 are located on both sides of the top of the top cover 2, and an air outlet 7 is located in the center of the top cover 2. The fan hood 3 is installed on the top of the top cover 2 to protect the fans 5 and to guide and regulate the incoming and outgoing airflow. The air intakes 6 are located on both sides of the top of the top cover 2, facilitating the fans 5 to draw outside air into the top cover 2, creating airflow to dry the tableware. The air outlet 7 is located in the center of the top cover 2 and serves as the passage for airflow to exit the dishwasher, allowing the moisture-laden airflow to exit the dishwasher and achieve the drying of the tableware.
[0024] The wind shield 3 includes a front panel 301 and a rear panel 304. The front panel 301 and rear panel 304 constitute the main structure of the wind shield 3, providing support and protection. The outer contour of the wind shield 3 matches the top contour of the top cover 2. Reinforcing ribs 306 are provided on both sides of the top of the front panel 301 and rear panel 304. The reinforcing ribs 306 increase the strength and stability of the wind shield 3, preventing deformation or damage during use. A central mesh cover plate 303 is provided between the reinforcing ribs 306, and left and right mesh cover plates 302 are provided on one side of each reinforcing rib 306. The central mesh cover plate 303, located between the reinforcing ribs 306, provides both protection and allows airflow, ensuring smooth airflow. The left and right mesh cover plates 302, located on one side of each reinforcing rib 306, also provide protection and allow airflow.
[0025] The fan 5 includes a motor. A top cover plate 305 is located on the top of the fan shroud 3 above the motor. Positioning plates 308 are located on both sides of the motor end on the inner wall of the fan shroud 3. The motor provides power to the fan 5, driving the fan blades to rotate and generate airflow. The top cover plate 305, installed above the motor on the top of the fan shroud 3, protects the motor and prevents dust, moisture, etc., from entering the motor and affecting its normal operation. The positioning plates 308, located on both sides of the motor end on the inner wall of the fan shroud 3, are used for motor mounting and positioning, improving motor stability, ensuring stability during operation, and reducing vibration and noise.
[0026] Inside the air hood 3, below the central mesh cover 303, there is a rectangular partition 307. The fan 5 is located on both sides of the rectangular partition 307, and the bottom of the rectangular partition 307 is attached to the top of the air outlet 7. The rectangular partition 307 separates the air inlet and outlet, dividing and guiding the airflow generated by the fan 5, so that the airflow can be discharged from the air outlet 7 more concentratedly, improving the drying efficiency, while preventing the airflow from becoming turbulent inside the top cover 2, which would affect the drying effect.
[0027] An air guide plate 8 is located in the middle of the air outlet 7. The air guide plate 8 is shaped like a V-shape and is used to guide the air inside the top cover 2 from both sides to the middle. The V-shaped design of the air guide plate 8 can guide the airflow inside the top cover 2 from both sides to the middle, so that the airflow carrying moisture can be discharged more concentratedly through the air outlet 7, thereby enhancing the drying effect and increasing the drying speed of the tableware.
[0028] Several mesh openings are provided on both sides of the front panel 301, and several mesh openings are provided on one side of the rear panel 304. The mesh openings of the front panel 301 and the rear panel 304 provide additional air intake channels for the hood 3, allowing outside air to enter the hood 3 smoothly, providing sufficient airflow for the fan 5, and ensuring the continuous operation of the drying process.
[0029] A cable tray 4 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the rear panel 304, and the electrical connection cable of the fan 5 is placed in the cable tray 4. The cable tray 4 provides a dedicated space for the electrical connection cable of the fan 5, so that the electrical connection cable is neatly arranged, avoiding wire clutter, and protecting the electrical connection cable from external factors, ensuring the normal operation of the fan 5. When the user operates the handle to lift the dishwasher top cover 2, the power cord is not completely fixed. Although its two ends are connected to fixed components such as the fan motor and the power socket, the power cord will move to a certain extent with the movement of the top cover 2 during the opening and closing process. When the top cover 2 is opened, the cable tray 4 will change shape as the top cover 2 is raised, producing changes such as stretching and bending.
[0030] After the top-loading dishwasher finishes washing dishes, the fan 5 draws in outside air through the air intake hood 3 and blows it into the top cover 2 through the air inlet 6. The air blows the dishes inside the dishwasher quickly dry them. The air blows carry moisture through the herringbone-shaped air guide plate 8 and into the rectangular partition 307 through the air outlet 7. Finally, the moisture is discharged through the central mesh cover 303, achieving rapid drying of the dishes in the top-loading dishwasher and meeting the immediate use needs of high-turnover dining scenarios.
