Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a dishwasher. Background Technology
[0002] A dishwasher is a kitchen appliance that can automatically clean a variety of commonly used tableware. Currently, the more advanced dishwashers on the market have a drying function, which can dry the washed tableware and evaporate the moisture on the surface of the tableware. However, in actual use, it is often found that although the surface of the tableware is dry, water droplets still remain on the inner wall of the inner tank. The reason for this is that the inner tank wall is relatively thin, and heat is lost quickly, resulting in a low temperature of the inner tank wall that is not enough to evaporate all the water droplets. Utility Model Content
[0003] One objective of this application is to provide a dishwasher with high drying efficiency.
[0004] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a dishwasher, including an outer shell and an inner tub, with a graphene heating plate disposed between the outer shell and the inner tub, the graphene heating plate being located on the top of the inner tub and attached to the top surface of the inner tub, the inner tub being provided with an inner tub air outlet and at least two inner tub air inlets, the inner tub air inlets being provided with a duct assembly with a hot air function, the duct assembly being located between the outer shell and the inner tub, and the duct assembly being connected to the inner tub air inlets.
[0005] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this application are that the graphene heating plate is used to heat the inner liner, raising the temperature of the inner liner wall and increasing the internal temperature of the inner liner, while evaporating water droplets on the inner wall and improving drying efficiency; the air duct assembly is used to guide airflow into the inner liner and has a hot air function, that is, it can heat the incoming airflow, resulting in good drying effect; during drying, the graphene heating plate and the air duct assembly work synchronously, and the temperature inside the inner liner can reach 60-70 degrees Celsius, resulting in high drying efficiency and good disinfection effect.
[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the air duct assembly includes an air duct shell and an air duct outlet. The air duct outlet is located on the air duct shell and is connected to the air inlet of the inner liner. A fan and a heater are disposed inside the air duct shell, with the heater located between the fan and the air duct outlet. The air duct shell forms an air duct, allowing airflow to pass within it. The air duct outlet is used to discharge airflow from the air duct shell to the outside. The fan is used to introduce outside air into the air duct shell. The heater is used to heat the airflow within the air duct shell. The heater's location between the fan and the air duct outlet ensures that all airflow blown in by the fan is heated by the heater.
[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the line connecting the air inlets of the inner liner is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The two air inlets are arranged vertically, resulting in better airflow into the inner liner, facilitating airflow within the liner and improving the drying effect.
[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the top center of the inner liner is provided with a first recessed groove. The design of the first groove can both improve the structural strength of the top and reduce the protrusion height of the dishwasher top spray, thereby reducing the space occupied inside the inner liner.
[0009] Furthermore, two graphene heating plates are provided, one on each side of the first groove. The graphene heating plates avoid the first groove, thus not increasing the overall height. The two graphene heating plates are symmetrically arranged, allowing for more flexible placement and more uniform heating on both sides.
[0010] Furthermore, the graphene heating plate is located between the first groove and the side wall of the inner liner. The graphene heating plate's proximity to the side wall of the inner liner provides excellent heating effect.
[0011] In some embodiments of this application, a second recessed groove is provided on the outer surface of the inner liner, the second groove being located between the top wall and the side wall of the inner liner. The design of the second groove improves the structural strength between the top wall and the side wall of the inner liner.
[0012] In some embodiments of this application, a third recessed groove is provided on the outer surface of the inner liner, and the third groove is located on the side wall of the inner liner. The design of the third groove can improve the structural strength of the side wall of the inner liner.
[0013] Furthermore, a fourth recessed groove is provided on the inner surface of the inner liner. The fourth groove is located on the side wall of the inner liner, and both the air inlet and air outlet of the inner liner are located on the fourth groove. The design of the fourth groove can improve the structural strength of the side wall of the inner liner and reduce the space occupied by the air outlet of the air duct on the internal space of the inner liner.
[0014] Furthermore, the fourth groove is located on the bottom surface of the third groove. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example 1:
[0025] This embodiment provides a dishwasher, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the device includes an outer shell 1 and an inner liner 2. A graphene heating plate 3 is disposed between the outer shell 1 and the inner liner 2, located on the top of the inner liner 2 and attached to the top surface of the inner liner 2. The inner liner 2 is provided with an inner liner air outlet 4 and at least two inner liner air inlets 5. A duct assembly 6 with hot air function is provided on the inner liner air inlets 5. The duct assembly 6 is located between the outer shell 1 and the inner liner 2 and is connected to the inner liner air inlets 5. In this embodiment, two inner liner air inlets 5 are provided; the inner liner air outlet 4 and the inner liner air inlets 5 are located on opposite sides, providing good convection and allowing internal moisture to be quickly discharged; it also includes a cabinet door 15, with both the outer shell 1 and the inner liner 2 opening on one side, and the cabinet door 15 is located on the opening side of the outer shell 1 and the inner liner 2; each inner liner air inlet 5 is provided with a separate duct assembly 6.
[0026] The graphene heating plate 3 is used to heat the inner liner 2, raising the temperature of the inner liner 2 wall surface and increasing the internal temperature of the inner liner 2. At the same time, it can evaporate water droplets on the inner wall, improving drying efficiency. The air duct assembly 6 is used to guide airflow into the inner liner 2 and has a hot air function, which means it can heat the incoming airflow, resulting in good drying effect. During drying, the graphene heating plate 3 and the air duct assembly 6 work synchronously, and the temperature inside the inner liner 2 can reach 60-70 degrees Celsius, resulting in high drying efficiency and good disinfection effect.
[0027] For the reliability of air duct component 6, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the air duct assembly 6 includes an air duct shell 7 and an air duct outlet 8. The air duct outlet 8 is located on the air duct shell 7 and is connected to the inner liner air inlet 5. A fan 9 and a heater 10 are provided inside the air duct shell 7, with the heater 10 located between the fan 9 and the air duct outlet 8. The air duct shell 7 forms an air duct, allowing airflow to flow within it. The air duct outlet 8 is used to discharge the airflow from the air duct shell 7. The fan 9 is used to send outside air into the air duct shell 7. The heater 10 is used to heat the airflow inside the air duct shell 7. The heater 10 is located between the fan 9 and the air duct outlet 8, ensuring that all airflow blown in by the fan 9 is heated by the heater 10.
[0028] In this embodiment, the air duct shell 7 is fixedly connected to the inner liner 2; the air inlet of the fan 9 is connected to the outside.
[0029] To improve air intake efficiency, the line connecting the two inner liner air inlets 5 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The two inner liner air inlets 5 are arranged vertically, which improves the air intake effect of the inner liner 2, facilitates airflow within the inner liner 2, and enhances the drying effect.
[0030] To improve structural strength, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top center of the inner liner 2 is provided with an outwardly recessed first groove 11. The first groove 11 is stamped on the sheet metal; the design of the first groove 11 can not only improve the structural strength of the top, but also reduce the protrusion height of the dishwasher top spray, thus reducing the space occupied inside the inner liner 2.
[0031] To improve the heating effect, two graphene heating plates 3 are symmetrically arranged, with the two graphene heating plates 3 located on both sides of the first groove 11. The graphene heating plates 3 avoid the first groove 11, so as not to increase the overall height. The symmetrical arrangement of the two graphene heating plates 3 allows for more flexible layout and more uniform heating on both sides.
[0032] For optimal heating, the graphene heating plate 3 is positioned between the first groove 11 and the side wall of the inner liner 2. The graphene heating plate 3's proximity to the side wall of the inner liner 2 ensures effective heating of the inner liner 2's side wall.
[0033] To improve the structural strength of the inner liner 2, a second recessed groove 12 is provided on the outer surface of the inner liner 2. The second groove 12 is located between the top wall and the side wall of the inner liner 2. The second groove 12 is formed by stamping on a sheet metal. The design of the second groove 12 can improve the structural strength between the top wall and the side wall of the inner liner 2.
[0034] To improve the structural strength of the inner liner 2, a third recessed groove 13 is provided on the outer surface of the inner liner 2, and the third groove 13 is located on the side wall of the inner liner 2. The third groove 13 is formed by stamping on a sheet metal; the design of the third groove 13 can improve the structural strength of the side wall of the inner liner 2.
[0035] To improve the structural strength of the inner liner 2, a fourth recessed groove 14 is provided on the inner surface of the inner liner 2. The fourth groove 14 is located on the side wall of the inner liner 2, and both the air inlet 5 and the air outlet 4 of the inner liner are located on the fourth groove 14. The fourth groove 14 is formed by stamping on a sheet metal. The design of the fourth groove 14 can not only improve the structural strength of the side wall of the inner liner 2, but also reduce the space occupied by the air outlet 8 of the air duct on the internal space of the inner liner 2.
[0036] To reduce volume, the fourth groove 14 is located on the bottom surface of the third groove 13.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model.
