It can also be a cleaning agent or a liquid mixed with water and cleaning agent; the refrigerant includes but is not limited to R22, R32, R290, R410A, etc.

Since the required heat is high in the cleaning mode, the first condenser 4 or the first evaporator 9 requires a larger heat exchange area. By using an independent first condenser 4 and the first evaporator 9, the heat exchange area of ​​the first condenser 4 and the first evaporator 9 can be set according to the internal environment in the cavity, so that the working condition can operate better, and at the same time, it can increase the service life of the compressor, so that the dishwasher heat pump system can achieve energy-saving and high-efficiency effects.

[0056] In addition, when the amount of water flowing into the second channel 312 of the first condenser 4 is small, or the heat exchange area of ​​the first condenser 4 is large, the first condenser 4 can provide water to the dishwasher heat pump system cavity in the form of direct heat, so as to meet the high-temperature water requirement of the dishwasher heat pump system cavity, as shown in Figure 2; when the amount of water flowing into the second channel 312 of the first condenser 4 is large or the heat exchange area of ​​the first condenser 4 is small, the first condenser 4 can be connected to the water tank 151, and the water with a temperature lower than the required temperature is first stored in the inner cavity of the water tank 151, and then the water is returned to the second channel 312 and continued to be heated until the water temperature required by the dishwasher heat pump system cavity is reached.

[0057] In the present application, the dishwasher heat pump system includes a drying mode. In the drying mode, the main path A is connected with the second branch d and the fourth branch f, that is, the first main path a1 is connected with the second branch d, the second branch d is connected with the second main path a2, the second main path a2 is connected with the fourth branch f, and the fourth branch f is connected with the first main path a1, that is, the refrigerant flows to the first valve member 2 through the compressor 1, the second valve port 202 is closed, the first valve port 201 is connected with the third valve port 203, the refrigerant flows to the second condenser 3 through the third valve port 203, flows to the liquid storage tank 5 through the second condenser 3, and then flows to the throttling device 71, flows to the second evaporator 8 through the sixth valve port 803 of the control valve 81, and then returns to the compressor 1 through the second evaporator 8.

[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments, when the drying mode is switched, the first fan 10 is turned off, the second fan 11 is running, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 1 into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, the compressor 1 is connected to the first valve member 2, the first valve port 201 of the first valve member 2 is switched to be connected to the third valve port 203, the second valve port 203 is closed, the first main path a1 is connected to the second branch d, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the second condenser 3 in the second branch d, releases heat and becomes a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant, and then enters the liquid storage 5 through the second one-way valve 44, and then passes through the liquid storage 5. The throttling device 71 turns the refrigerant into a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant, which then passes through the control valve 81 and enters the second evaporator 8 in the fourth branch f. The refrigerant absorbs the heat of the high-temperature, high-humidity gas and turns into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas and returns to the compressor 1, thereby forming an independent closed drying circuit that is not connected to the outside world, reducing the secondary contamination of the tableware in the cavity of the dishwasher heat pump system. At the same time, the use of a second condenser or a second evaporator with a suitable heat exchange area can enable the circulating heat exchange flow path in the drying mode to operate better, thereby achieving energy saving and high efficiency.

[0059] In the present application, there is an independent circulating air duct in the drying mode. At the beginning of the drying stage, the cavity of the dishwasher heat pump system is filled with high-temperature and high-humidity gas. The second fan 11 provides power for the circulating air. The high-temperature and high-humidity gas releases heat and condenses through the second evaporator 8 to form droplets, turning into low-temperature and high-humidity gas. Then, it absorbs heat through the second condenser 3 and turns into high-temperature and low-humidity gas to enter the cavity of the dishwasher heat pump system. This is a cycle of drying the high-temperature and high-humidity gas in the cavity of the dishwasher heat pump system in the drying mode. In this cycle, the humidity in the cavity of the dishwasher heat pump system will continue to decrease until the drying requirements are met; the water droplets formed on the surface of the second evaporator 8 can be discharged from the dishwasher heat pump system by setting up equipment such as a water receiving tray.

[0060] In drying mode, the second condenser 3 and the second evaporator 8 are in a high-temperature, high-humidity environment. Since the heat exchange area required by the second evaporator 8 may be relatively small, using an independent second evaporator 8 allows the heat exchange area of ​​the second evaporator 8 to be adjusted according to the environment in the cavity, enabling better operation, extending the service life of the compressor, and achieving energy-saving and high-efficiency results for the dishwasher heat pump system. If the same evaporator is shared between the cleaning mode and the drying mode, the heat exchange area required by the evaporator in the cleaning mode may be larger. However, in the drying mode, since the evaporator is in a high-temperature, high-humidity operating environment, the actual required heat exchange area is smaller. Therefore, if the drying mode and the cleaning mode share the same evaporator, the system will experience increased superheat in the dehumidification mode, the compressor exhaust temperature will increase, the operating conditions will be relatively poor, the system performance index will be low, and energy-saving and high-efficiency results will not be achieved.

[0061] Similarly, since the structures of the condensers used in the cleaning mode and the drying mode are different, the condenser in the cleaning mode is generally a closed structure with a refrigerant channel and a water channel, while the condenser in the drying mode is generally an open structure, and the heat exchange areas of the two are also different to a certain extent. If a condenser is shared, the heat exchange capacity of the condenser in different modes will be limited, which will lead to poor operating conditions of the dishwasher heat pump system and fail to achieve energy-saving and high-efficiency effects. To meet the different requirements of the cleaning mode and the drying mode, it is necessary to improve the structure of the condenser or the surrounding structure, which increases production costs on the one hand and may also place higher requirements on the space of the dishwasher heat pump system on the other hand. Therefore, the present application sets two condensers and two evaporators in the dishwasher heat pump system to form different independent heat exchange flow paths, making the dishwasher heat pump system efficient and energy-saving.

[0062] In some embodiments, in the dishwasher heat pump system, the first branch c and the fourth branch f can also be connected to the main path A to form a heat exchange flow path, or the second branch d and the third branch e can be connected to the main path A to form a heat exchange flow path.

[0087] Referring to FIG10 , in some embodiments, the operation process of the washing mode includes a refrigerant flow path and a washing liquid flow path; the refrigerant flow path is as follows: the compressor 1, the first fan 10 and the first pump 15 are in operation, the first valve member 2 controls the main path A to be connected to the bypass flow path b, the bypass flow path b is connected to the first branch path c, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas passes through the compressor 1 and becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, passes through the first valve member 2 and flows into the first condenser 4 to condense and release heat, and then becomes a high-pressure liquid refrigerant after releasing heat, and then passes through the liquid accumulator 5 and the second throttle valve. 6 is in a fully closed state, the first branch c is connected to the third branch e, and the third branch e is connected to the main path A. The liquid refrigerant is throttled by the first throttle valve 7. The throttled refrigerant is in a gas-liquid two-phase state and then enters the first evaporator 9 to absorb heat and evaporate. The first fan 10 drives the wind from the external environment to dissipate heat from the compressor 1 and exchanges heat with the first evaporator 9. After absorbing heat, it becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas and returns to the compressor 1. This is a cycle of the refrigerant flow path in the washing mode of the dishwasher, the purpose of which is to heat the washing liquid.

[0088] In one embodiment, in the washing mode, the washing liquid flow path is: when the washing liquid in the sump 14 does not reach the target washing temperature, the second valve component 16 controls the first main path g to be connected with the first sub-path h, and the first pump 5 drives the washing liquid in the sump 14 to flow into the first sub-path h and the second sub-path k respectively. The washing liquid flowing into the first sub-path h is heated through the first coolant branch 42 of the first condenser 4, and the heated washing liquid flows back to the sump 14. The washing liquid flowing into the second branch k flows into the spray device 17 and is sprayed into the washing cavity 18, and then returns to the sump 14. This is a cycle of heating the washing liquid; after the washing liquid reaches the target temperature, the second valve component 16 controls the first main path g to be disconnected from the first sub-path h, and the washing liquid with the target temperature enters the washing cavity 18 through the first sub-branch k1 and the second sub-branch k2, thereby reducing the power consumption of the first pump 15 and achieving energy-saving effects.

[0089] Referring to FIG. 11 , in some embodiments, the operation process of the drying mode includes a refrigerant flow path and an air flow path; the refrigerant flow path is as follows: the compressor 1 and the second fan 11 are in operation, the first valve member 2 controls the main path A to communicate with the second branch path d, the second branch path d to communicate with the first branch path c, and the first refrigerant branch path 41 to communicate with the second refrigerant branch path 31. The low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas becomes a high-temperature, high-pressure gas after passing through the compressor 1. It flows through the first valve member 2 into the second condenser 3 and the first condenser 4 in sequence for condensation, releasing heat and becoming a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. It then passes through the liquid accumulator 5, the second throttle valve 7 is in a fully closed state, the first branch path c is connected to the fourth branch path f, and the fourth branch path f is connected to the main path A. The liquid refrigerant is throttled by the second throttle valve 6. After throttling, the refrigerant is in a gas-liquid two-phase state, then enters the second evaporator 8 to absorb heat and evaporate. After absorbing heat, it becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas and returns to the compressor 1. This is a cycle of the drying mode of the dishwasher heat pump system until the dehumidification requirement is met.

[0090] In some embodiments, in the drying mode, the air circulation path is as follows: after the washing mode ends, the gas in the washing cavity 18 is high-temperature and high-humidity gas. When the drying mode is running, these high-temperature and high-humidity gases are first cooled by the surface of the second evaporator 8 driven by the second fan 11, and the water vapor is condensed. Then, the gas absorbs heat through the second condenser 3 and becomes high-temperature gas, which flows into the washing cavity 18. The water droplets on the surface of the dishes absorb heat and evaporate into water vapor. This is a cycle of the dehumidification stage. The water droplets formed on the surface of the second evaporator 8 are discharged from the dishwasher through the water receiving tank and other equipment. In this cycle, the humidity in the washing cavity 18 will decrease until the drying requirements are met.

[0091] The present application also provides a dishwasher, including the above-mentioned dishwasher heat pump system, which has a closed dishwasher cavity, the second evaporator 8 and the second condenser 3 are both located in the dishwasher cavity, and the first evaporator 9 and the first condenser 4 are both located outside the dishwasher cavity. The second evaporator 8, the second condenser 3 and the dishwasher cavity form a closed channel, which, on the one hand, can prevent contact with the external environment, avoid contamination of the dishwasher cavity and secondary contamination of dishes in the cavity; on the other hand, using a separate evaporator and condenser in the drying mode can enable the system to operate better and achieve the effect of energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0092] In some embodiments, in a dishwasher, the first branch c and the fourth branch f may be connected to the main path A to form a heat exchange flow path, or the second branch d and the third branch e may be connected to the main path A to form a heat exchange flow path.

[0093] It should be understood that the heat exchange area of ​​the first evaporator 9 in the present application is not smaller than that of the second evaporator 8. Since the washing liquid needs to be heated in the washing mode, the dishwasher heat pump system requires a larger heating power, the condenser has a larger heat load, and an evaporator with a larger heat exchange area is required to ensure the stable operation of the dishwasher heat pump system. In the drying mode, the high-temperature and high-humidity gas in the washing cavity 18 is dried, and a larger heat load is not required. Therefore, the heat exchange area of ​​the second evaporator 8 is not larger than that of the first evaporator 9, so as to achieve high efficiency and energy saving.

Although the present application has been disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any technician familiar with this profession can make slight changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes using the technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present application. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present application without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present application are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present application.
