Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a water circuit adjustment structure and a dishwasher. Background Technology
[0002] As a smart appliance in modern kitchens, dishwashers rely on their sophisticated water system and rotating spray arm design to achieve thorough cleaning of tableware through the mechanical rinsing action of high-pressure water jets.
[0003] Traditional dishwashers typically use zone spray arms to target heavily soiled dishes, improving washing effectiveness. These zone spray arms use valves to regulate the water flow. However, existing zone spray arm water flow regulators often have poor sealing, leading to easy water overflow and affecting washing results.
[0004] Therefore, a waterway regulation structure is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes a water channel adjustment structure. By setting a first channel, a second channel, and a plug hole on the sealing block body, the adjustment component body can be inserted into the plug hole to adjust the opening and closing of the first channel and the second channel. This allows water in the water cavity to flow out along the first channel or the second channel, or directly block the first water outlet. The structure is simple, has a good sealing effect, and prevents water from flowing out between the first water outlet and the adjustment component.
[0006] The above objectives are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-3This utility model provides a water circuit adjustment structure, including a water pipe 1, an elastic sealing block 2, and an adjustment component 3. The water pipe 1 includes a water pipe body 11, a water cavity 10 within the water pipe body 11, an inlet 12 and a first outlet 13 on the water pipe body 11. One end of the inlet 12 communicates with the water cavity 10, and the other end of the inlet 12 communicates with a water supply pipe 1 outside the water circuit adjustment structure. An avoidance hole 134 is provided on the first outlet 13 along a first direction. The elastic sealing block 2 includes a sealing block body 21 and a first channel 22, a second channel 23, and a insertion hole 24 formed on the sealing block body 21. The sealing block body 21 is installed in the first outlet 13. The first channel 22 and the second channel 23 are formed along a second direction and communicate with the water cavity 10. The insertion hole 24 is formed along the first direction and communicates with the first channel 22 and the second channel 23. An angle β is formed between the second direction and the first direction. The adjusting component 3 includes an adjusting component body 31 and a through hole 32 formed on the adjusting component body 31. The adjusting component body 31 is inserted into the insertion hole 24 through a clearance hole 134 and can slide along the insertion hole 24 between a first position, a second position, and a third position under the action of external force. When the adjusting component body 31 is in the first position, the through hole 32 is connected to the first channel 22, and water flows out from the first channel 22. When the adjusting component body 31 is in the second position, the through hole 32 is connected to the second channel 23, and water flows out from the second channel 23. When the adjusting component body 31 is in the third position, the through hole 32 is not connected to either the first channel 22 or the second channel 23. At this time, the second water outlet 14 is blocked, and water cannot flow out from the second water outlet 14.
[0031] The water channel adjustment structure provided by this utility model provides a first channel 22, a second channel 23 and a plug hole 24 on the sealing block body 21, so that the adjustment component body 31 can be inserted into the plug hole 24 to adjust the opening and closing of the first channel 22 and the second channel 23, thereby allowing water in the water cavity 10 to flow out along the first channel 22 or the second channel 23, or directly block the first water outlet 13. The structure is simple and has a good sealing effect, preventing water from flowing out between the first water outlet 13 and the adjustment component 3.
[0032] Optionally, β = 90°, so that the adjusting body 31 can be inserted into the insertion hole 24 to control the opening and closing of the first channel 22 and the second channel 23.
[0033] Optionally, the adjusting member 3 also includes a sealing rib 33 disposed on the outer periphery of the adjusting member body 31. The sealing rib 33 is distributed along the first direction at both ends of the through hole 32 and abuts against the inner wall of the insertion hole 24 to improve the sealing effect and prevent water from overflowing.
[0034] Optionally, multiple sealing ribs 33 are provided at both ends of the through hole 32 to further improve the sealing effect.
[0035] Optionally, the adjusting member 3 also includes a handle 34 disposed on the adjusting member body 31. One end of the handle 34 is located outside the first water outlet 13. The user can push the adjusting member body 31 along the insertion hole 24 by the handle 34 to adjust the opening and closing of the first channel 22 and the second channel 23.
[0036] Optionally, the first water outlet 13 includes a water outlet body 131, in which an installation channel 132 communicating with the water cavity 10 is provided. The sealing block body 21 is installed in the installation channel 132, and the peripheral side of the sealing block body 21 abuts against the inner wall of the installation channel 132, so that the gap between the sealing block body 21 and the installation channel 132 is sealed, thus achieving a better sealing effect.
[0037] Optionally, the mounting channel 132 has the same shape as the sealing block body 21 in order to improve the sealing effect between the sealing block body 21 and the mounting channel 132.
[0038] Optionally, both the installation channel 132 and the sealing block body 21 are rectangular or cubic in shape, which are simple in structure and easy to manufacture and install.
[0039] Optionally, the water pipe 1 also includes a second water outlet 14 disposed on the water pipe body 11, the second water outlet 14 being connected to the water cavity 10.
[0040] In another aspect, this utility model provides a dishwasher, including a main spray arm, a secondary spray arm, and the aforementioned water flow adjustment structure. The main spray arm is connected to the second water outlet 14 of the water pipe 1, and the secondary spray arm is connected to the first water outlet 13. By providing the water flow adjustment structure, the water flow at the secondary spray arm can be controlled.
[0041] Specifically, the auxiliary spray arm is equipped with a first flow channel and a second flow channel, and has a first spray hole and a second spray hole. The first spray hole is connected to the first flow channel, and the second spray hole is connected to the second flow channel. The opening angles of the first and second spray holes are different. The first flow channel is connected to the first channel 22, and the second flow channel is connected to the second channel 23. When the first channel 22 is open, water flows through the first flow channel, and the first spray hole sprays water; when the second channel 23 is open, water flows through the second flow channel, and the second spray hole sprays water; when both the first channel 22 and the second channel 23 are closed, neither the first flow channel nor the second flow channel on the auxiliary spray arm is flowing with water, and the auxiliary spray arm stops spraying water. In this way, water spray control of the auxiliary spray arm is achieved, which is suitable for different washing needs of users.
[0042] Optionally, the first water outlet section 13 also includes a buckle 133 disposed on the water outlet section body 131, and the auxiliary spray arm is connected to the water outlet section body 131 through the buckle 133.
[0043] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
