[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a suspended heat recovery energy storage device for a dishwasher, including a heat recovery cover 2 suspended from the ceiling by several elastic components 1, and a heat recovery system disposed inside the heat recovery cover 2 for circulating hot water in the dishwasher.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the elastic component 1 includes: a mounting base 11 fixedly installed on the ceiling, a spring damper 12 installed on the mounting base 11, and a suspension wire cable 13 with its first end installed on the spring damper 12. The end of the suspension wire cable 13 is fixedly installed on the heat recovery cover 2, and the heat recovery cover 2 is fixedly suspended above the dryer 4 and the washing machine 5 by the suspension wire cable 13.

[0030] In this embodiment, a heat recovery cover 2 is suspended from the ceiling using several elastic components 1, allowing the heat recovery system inside the heat recovery cover 2 to be suspended above the dishwasher. This enables the recovery and reuse of the heat energy generated by the dishwasher's washing machine 5 and dryer 4. An mounting base 11 is installed on the ceiling, and a spring damper 12 is installed on the mounting base 11. A suspension steel wire cable 13, with one end attached to the spring damper 12 and the other end attached to the heat recovery cover 2, suspends the heat recovery cover 2 and the heat recovery system inside it above the dishwasher. This suspended heat recovery energy storage device is adaptable to any brand and model of dishwasher, and can be used with any shape and model of dishwasher for heat circulation recovery and reuse. This ensures that the dishwasher's heat is not wasted, further facilitating the reuse of heat resources and improving the practicality and versatility of the heat recovery energy storage device.

[0031] In this embodiment, the spring damper 12 allows the heat recovery cover 2 suspended above the dishwasher to swing and adjust its position adaptively during the operation of the dishwasher. This enables the heat recovery system inside the heat recovery cover 2 to recover and store the heat generated by the dishwasher to a greater extent. In addition, the spring damper 12 can reduce the vibration generated by the heat recovery system during operation, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the entire device.

[0032] Furthermore, the installation of the suspension steel wire rope 13 ensures the stability of the heat recovery cover 2 suspension, further ensuring the stability of the heat recovery system heat recovery circulation inside the heat recovery cover 2. The joint installation of multiple suspension steel wire ropes 13 further ensures the stability of the heat recovery cover 2 suspension, preventing it from tipping over, thereby ensuring the high efficiency of the device operation.

[0033] Furthermore, the elastic component 1 can be set to 4 groups, with the 4 groups of elastic components 1 located at the four corners of the heat recovery cover 2 respectively; the setting of the 4 groups of elastic components 1 can lift up all four corners of the heat recovery cover 2 and suspend it on the ceiling, ensuring the overall stability of the heat recovery cover 2, and further ensuring that the heat recovery system inside the heat recovery cover 2 can stably recover the heat from the dishwasher.

[0034] Furthermore, the elastic component 1 can be configured as 6 sets. The 6 sets of elastic components 1 are located at the four corners of the heat recovery cover 2 and the midpoint of the two long sides, which can further ensure the stability of the suspension of the heat recovery cover 2 and the stability of the operation of the heat recovery system.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the heat recovery cover 2 is surrounded by a barrier 21, with the ends of the barrier 21 hanging down to the dish outlet and dish inlet of the dishwasher.

[0036] In this embodiment, the enclosure 21 can contain the hot air escaping from the tableware inlet and outlet, allowing the hot air to smoothly enter the heat recovery hood 2 through the obstruction of the enclosure 21, and be recovered and reused by the heat recovery system. The enclosure 21 can further reduce the loss of hot air, increase the amount of hot air entering the heat recovery system, and improve the efficiency of hot air recovery and utilization.

[0037] Furthermore, the enclosure 21 can be made of flexible materials such as PVC or rubber, allowing it to adaptably surround and block the gap between the heat recovery cover 2 and the dishwasher, and hang down to the tableware outlet and tableware inlet. The flexible material enclosure 21 can be detached and installed, facilitating the adaptable installation and removal of the heat recovery cover 2 and enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the heat recovery system includes: an energy storage water tank 22 located at the bottom of the heat recovery cover 2, a water pump 23 connected to the energy storage water tank 22 by a pipe, and an evaporator 24 connected to the outlet pipe of the water pump 23. The evaporator 24 is connected to the energy storage water tank 22 by a pipe.

[0039] Furthermore, the heat circulation system also includes: a gas-liquid separator 25 located at the bottom of the heat recovery hood 2 and a compressor 26 connected to the gas pressure separator pipe; the compressor 26 is connected to the evaporator 24 through a hot gas pipe, and the water in the evaporator 24 is heated by the hot gas; the gas-liquid separator 25 has a liquid output pipe connected to a drainage ditch.

[0040] Furthermore, the energy storage tank 22 is equipped with a tap water inlet pipe 27 connected to the tap water pipe, and a hot water outlet pipe 28 connected to the washing machine 5 for rinsing dishes with hot water.

[0041] In this embodiment, the hot air in the dryer 4 and the washing machine 5 escapes through the tableware outlet and tableware inlet, respectively. The escaping hot air is contained by the hanging baffle 21, allowing the hot air to flow smoothly into the heat recovery hood 2. The hot air is separated into gas and liquid by the gas-liquid separator 25. The separated gas flows to the compressor 26, where it is compressed and heated. The heated gas then flows through a pipe to the evaporator 24. The separated liquid is discharged into the drain through the liquid output pipe.

[0042] Tap water is introduced into the energy storage tank 22 through the tap water inlet pipe 27, and the water is driven into the water pump 23 by the power of the water pump 23. The water is then output from the outlet of the water pump 23 to the evaporator 24, where the hot air in the evaporator 24 heats the water. The heated water is then output to the energy storage tank 22 through the pipe. This cycle continues, and hot water is output to the washing machine 5 through the hot water outlet pipe 28 to spray and clean the dishes in the washing machine 5.

[0043] Furthermore, an expansion valve 29 for pressure reduction is installed on the pipe connecting the outlet of the water pump 23 to the evaporator 24. The expansion valve 29 allows water to enter the evaporator 24 under stable pressure.

[0044] Furthermore, the heat recovery system allows for the recycling of heat emitted from the washing machine 5 and the dryer 4, which not only saves resources but also reduces excessive resource consumption and waste, thereby further achieving energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the heat recovery cover 2 is equipped with several cooling fans 3 for dissipating excess heat inside the heat recovery cover 2. The cooling fans 3 can dissipate the excess heat inside the heat recovery cover 2 to the outside of the heat recovery cover 2, further ensuring the stability of the heat recovery system inside the heat recovery cover 2 and the overall stability of the device operation. Moreover, the cooling fans 3 are located at the top of the heat recovery cover 2 so that the blown air does not blow directly on the workers, further ensuring the safety of the workers.

[0046] Furthermore, the cooling fan 3 can be configured with two units, which can more quickly remove waste heat from the heat recovery cover 2, enhance the working efficiency of the heat recovery system, and further stabilize and accelerate the operation of the heat recovery system.

[0047] Furthermore, the heat recovery cover 2 is equipped with a remote control module for remotely controlling the start and stop of the heat recovery system. Therefore, the remote control module enables remote control of the operation of the heat recovery system inside the heat recovery cover 2, avoiding the need for operators to climb up and down to manually control the suspended heat recovery energy storage device due to the excessively high position of the heat recovery cover 2. This ensures the safety of operators and further enhances the practicality and versatility of the device.

[0048] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Obvious variations or modifications derived from the spirit of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
