A sink dishwasher 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1-2.

As shown in fig. 1, a sink dishwasher 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: the washing tub 10 and the steam generator 20 are defined in the tub 10, a washing chamber having an opened top is defined in the tub 10, a user puts dishes to be washed into the washing chamber through the opened opening, and the washed dishes are removed through the opened opening.

The steam generator 20 is connected with the water tank 10, a steam generation cavity is defined in the steam generator 20, and a water inlet and a steam outlet which are communicated with the steam generation cavity are arranged on the steam generator 20. The steam outlet communicates with the wash chamber within the tub 10 and the water inlet communicates with the water supply assembly of the tub dishwasher 100. The water flow enters the steam generating cavity to generate steam, then enters the washing cavity through the steam outlet, and the steam carries out heating disinfection treatment on tableware in the washing cavity.

Therefore, according to the sink dishwasher 100 of the embodiment of the invention, the steam generator 20 is arranged on the sink dishwasher 100, so that the tableware in the washing cavity can be disinfected by utilizing high-temperature steam, residual stubborn meal on the tableware can be removed, the washing quality of the tableware can be improved, the sanitary condition of the tableware can be improved, and the sanitary health of a user in the eating process can be improved.

As shown in fig. 2, the steam generator 20 according to the sump dishwasher 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a steam shell 21, a heating element 22, a water inlet pipe 23 and a gas outlet pipe 24.

The steam housing 21 defines a steam generation chamber therein, and the heating member 22 is provided in the steam generation chamber, and the heating member 22 may be attached to an inner wall surface of the steam housing 21. One end of the water inlet pipe 23 is communicated with the water supply assembly of the sink dishwasher 100, and the other end is connected with the steam housing 21 and is communicated with the steam generation chamber. One end of the air outlet pipe 24 is connected with the steam shell 21 and communicated with the steam generating cavity, and the other end is connected with the water tank 10 and communicated with the washing cavity. The water inlet is arranged on the water inlet pipe 23, and the steam outlet is arranged on the air outlet pipe 24.

The water flow enters the steam generation cavity through the water inlet pipe 23, the heating element 22 in the steam generation cavity heats the water flow to form steam, and the steam enters the washing cavity through the air outlet pipe 24 to heat the tableware in the washing cavity.

The steam generator 20 with the structure has the advantages of simple structure, low production process difficulty and low production cost. On the one hand, steam is generated in the steam generation cavity, and the high-temperature steam of the steam shell 21 and the heating piece 22 are wrapped, so that the high-temperature steam can be prevented from leaking, and the high-temperature steam or the heating piece 22 is prevented from scalding a user. On the other hand, the water inlet pipe 23 and the air outlet pipe 24 can provide convenience for water supply and air outlet of the steam generator 20, prevent water leakage or air leakage, facilitate the improvement of the tightness of the steam generator 20, and provide convenience for the arrangement of a water supply route and an air supply route.

Wherein, temperature sensor 25 is provided in the steam generation chamber for monitoring the temperature inside the steam generation chamber in real time, for example, temperature sensor 25 may be provided on heating member 22 for monitoring the temperature of heating member 22 in real time, or temperature sensor 25 may be provided on the inner peripheral wall of steam housing 21 for monitoring the temperature of steam housing 21 or the temperature of the steam generation chamber in real time.

The first temperature controller 26 is communicatively connected to the temperature sensor 25 and the heating element 22, the first temperature controller 26 receives a detection signal of the temperature sensor 25 and controls the switching of the heating element 22 according to the detection signal, for example, when the detection temperature of the temperature sensor 25 reaches T0 ℃, the switching of the heating element 22 is controlled, and if the detection temperature of the temperature sensor 25 is less than T0 ℃, the first temperature controller 26 controls the switching of the heating element 22 again. That is, the first temperature controller 26 controls the heating element 22 according to the temperature of the temperature sensor 25, if the temperature of the temperature sensor 25 is less than T0 ℃, the heating element 22 normally works to generate steam, and if the temperature of the temperature sensor 25 is greater than T0 ℃, the first temperature controller 26 controls the heating element 22 to stop working.

Similarly, a second temperature controller 27 is communicatively connected to the temperature sensor 25 and the heating element 22, and the second temperature controller 27 receives a detection signal from the temperature sensor 25 and controls the closing of the heating element 22 when the detection temperature of the temperature sensor 25 reaches T1 ℃. When the temperature of the temperature sensor 25 is greater than T1 deg.c, the second temperature controller 27 controls the heating member 22 to stop operating.

Wherein the control temperature T0 of the first temperature controller 26 is smaller than the control temperature T1 of the second temperature controller 27, for example, T0 may be 170 ℃ and T1 may be 230 ℃. That is, when the temperature sensor 25 floats around T0, the first temperature controller 26 controls the steam generator 20 to operate or stop. If the first temperature controller 26 is damaged, the steam generator 20 is continuously operated, and when the temperature sensor 25 is raised to T1, it indicates that the temperature is too high due to the lack of water in the steam generating cavity, and the second temperature controller 27 controls the heating element 22 to stop operating, so as to prevent the steam generator 20 from being damaged due to continuous heating of the steam generator 20.

By providing the first temperature controller 26 and the second temperature controller 27 on the steam generator 20, it is possible to provide double protection for the steam generator 20, preventing dry burning damage to the steam generator 20 due to failure of one of the temperature controllers.
