It should be noted that in the description of the present invention and fig. 1 to 11, solid arrows indicate structures such as cavities or holes, and dotted arrows indicate the flow direction of water flow.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in an embodiment of the integrated dishwasher of the present invention, the integrated dishwasher includes a housing 100, and a dish washing device 200, a water purifying device 300, and a waste water device 400 mounted on the housing 100; wherein, the water purifying device 300 has a waste water discharge port; the wastewater device 400 comprises a wastewater tank 410, a power pump 420 and a wastewater channel 430; the waste water tank 410 is communicated with the waste water discharge port, the power pump 420 communicates the waste water tank 410 with one end of the waste water flow passage 430, and the other end of the waste water flow passage 430 is communicated with the dish washing device 200; and, the waste water tank 410 is opened with an overflow 41b, and the waste water flow passage 430 is at least partially higher than the overflow 41b (the structure of the waste water tank 410 can refer to fig. 5).

Specifically, waste tank 410 includes a bottom plate, wall plates, and a top plate. Wherein, the top plate or the wall plate is provided with a water inlet 41a, and the water inlet 41a is communicated with the waste water outlet through a waste water inlet pipe 450 a. A first water outlet 41d is formed in the position, adjacent to the bottom plate, of the bottom plate or the wall plate, the first water outlet 41d is communicated with one end of the waste water channel 430, and the other end of the waste water channel 430 is communicated with the dish washing device 200. The wall plate is provided with an overflow port 41b, the position of the overflow port 41b is higher than that of the first water outlet 41d, the position of the overflow port 41b is lower than that of the water inlet 41a or is flush with that of the water inlet 41a, when the liquid level in the wastewater tank 410 reaches the overflow port 41b, wastewater in the wastewater tank 410 is discharged from the overflow port 41b, and the liquid level in the wastewater tank 410 is always kept below the overflow port 41 b. It should be noted that the overflow 41b may directly drain the wastewater to the lower drip pan for discharge, or may be connected to a wastewater overflow pipe 450b, and the wastewater overflow pipe 450b discharges to the drainer 600.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 4, the wastewater generated from the water purifying device 300 is discharged into the wastewater tank 410 through the wastewater inlet pipe 450a and stored in the wastewater tank 410. When the dishes are needed to be washed, the power pump 420 is started, and the power pump 420 drives the wastewater in the wastewater tank 410 to flow into the dish washing device 200 through the wastewater channel 430, so that the dish washing device 200 can be used for washing the dishes. When the washing is completed, the power pump 420 is turned off, and the wastewater in the wastewater channel 430 overflows toward the dishwasher device 200, but since the wastewater channel 430 is at least partially higher than the overflow opening 41b, in this state, the wastewater in the wastewater channel 430 can only overflow to the same height as the liquid level of the wastewater tank 410, and the water in the wastewater channel 430 cannot pass over the portion thereof higher than the overflow opening 41b, so that the overflow into the dishwasher device 200 cannot be uncontrollably made.

According to the technical scheme of the invention, the waste water device 400 is arranged in the integrated dishwasher, so that waste water generated by the water purifying device 300 is recycled through the waste water device 400 and is used for washing tableware, and the utilization rate of water resources is improved. Meanwhile, by defining the waste water pathway 430 to be at least partially higher than the overflow opening 41b, it is ensured that the waste water in the waste water pathway 430 can only overflow to the same height position as the liquid level of the waste water tank 410 when the power pump 420 is turned off, and the water in the waste water pathway 430 cannot cross the portion thereof higher than the overflow opening 41b, so that the overflow into the dishwasher device 200 without being controlled is not made, and waste of the waste water is reduced.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 4, based on the above embodiments, the installation positions of the dish washing device 200, the water purifying device 300 and the waste water device 400 of the integrated dish washing machine need to be reasonably designed to fully utilize the effective space inside the housing 100. In this embodiment, the housing 100 has a first chamber and a second chamber spaced apart along a length direction thereof, and the water purifying apparatus 300 is installed in the first chamber; a dish washing device 200 and a waste water device 400 are installed in the second chamber. By such design, the space in the length direction of the housing 100 can be fully utilized, and the water purifying device 300 and the dish washing device 200 can not interfere with each other during operation, thereby ensuring the orderly and normal operation of the integrated dish washing machine.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 4, in the present embodiment, the integrated dishwasher further includes a clean water tap 700a and a normal water tap 700b installed at the top of the housing 100, the clean water tap 700a is communicated with the clean water outlet of the water purifying device 300, and the normal water tap 700b is communicated with the normal water source. The top of the housing 100 is provided with a first water tank 800a under the clean water tap 700a and a second water tank 800b under the normal water tap 700 b. The integrated dishwasher further includes a garbage disposer 500, and the first sink 800a and the second sink 800b are connected to the garbage disposer 500 through a drain pipe, and the garbage disposer 500 is used to clean garbage in sewage.

Referring to fig. 2, 4 and 5, for the position of the waste water apparatus 400 in the second chamber, it is desirable to minimize the space occupied by the waste water tank 410 in consideration of the relatively large volume of the waste water tank 410. In the present embodiment, the waste water tank 410 is disposed at the rear side of the dishwasher device 200, and the waste water tank 410 is mounted on the rear panel of the housing 100, similar to being hung on the rear panel. Specifically, the waste water tank 410 is disposed in a flat shape, and the waste water tank 410 is attached to and fixed to the back plate, so that the thickness of the waste water tank 410 is reduced, and the waste water tank 410 occupies less space in the front-back direction.

Referring to fig. 2, 4 and 5, the fixing manner of the waste water tank 410 is not particularly limited. The waste water tank 410 is mounted on the back plate through any one or more of a screw structure, a buckle structure and a bolt structure. For example, the waste water tank 410 is connected to the back plate by a screw structure, and a plurality of mounting lugs may be provided on the waste water tank 410, the mounting lugs being provided with through holes, and the through holes are connected to the screws on the back plate by screws. For another example, the waste water tank 410 is connected to the back plate through a snap structure, a plurality of snaps can be arranged on the waste water tank 410, and snap positions corresponding to the snaps can be arranged on the back plate. The specific connection mode is designed according to the actual situation.

Referring to fig. 2, 4 and 5, in view of the limited space between the waste water tank 410 and the water purifying device 300, in order to connect the waste water inlet pipe 450a and the waste water overflow pipe 450b in a narrow space, it is preferable that a concave portion 413 is concavely provided on an end surface of the waste water tank 410 facing the water purifying device 300, the concave portion 413 is provided with a water inlet 41a and a water overflow 41b, wherein the water inlet 41a is communicated with the waste water outlet, and the water overflow 41b is communicated with the water discharging structure. The existence of the concave part 413 forms a space for an operator to perform the pipe loading operation, and the assembly efficiency is effectively improved.

Referring to fig. 3, 5 and 8, in this embodiment, in order to ensure a sufficient amount of water to be supplied to the dishwasher device 200, in this embodiment, the wastewater device 400 further includes a three-way valve 440, the three-way valve 440 has a first water inlet end 441, a second water inlet end 442 and a water outlet end 443, the first water inlet end 441 is communicated with the wastewater channel 430, the second water inlet end 442 is communicated with a normal water source through a normal water pipe 900, and the water outlet end 443 is communicated with the dishwasher device 200. The supply of different water sources to the dish washing device 200 is accomplished by controlling the opening and closing of the first and second water inlet ends 441 and 442 of the three-way valve 440. For example, when only the first water inlet end 441 is opened, the wastewater tank 410 supplies wastewater to the dishwasher device 200; when only the second water inlet port 442 is opened, the normal water source supplies the normal water to the dish washing device 200; when the first and second water inlet ends 441 and 442 are simultaneously opened, the wastewater tank 410 and the normal water source supply water to the dish washing device 200 at the same time, increasing the amount of water supplied to the dish washing device 200 to ensure the counting stability of the dish washer flow meter.

Referring to fig. 2, 4 to 6, there are two design ways for the waste water channel 430 of the waste water device 400. In one embodiment, the waste water channel 430 is an external waste water channel disposed outside the waste water tank 410. The external waste water pipe may be hung up so as to be at least partially higher than the overflow 41 b. Preferably, the external waste water pipe is installed at a position higher than the overflow hole 41b of the integrated bowl washer, different from the positions of both ends thereof. For example, a hook 414 is provided at a position higher than the overflow port 41b of the waste water tank 410, and the external waste water pipe is hung on the hook 414 such that the hung portion of the external waste water pipe is higher than the overflow port 41 b. When the power pump 420 is in the off state, the wastewater cannot overflow the hanging portion of the external wastewater pipe to overflow into the dishwasher device 200.

Further, in order to reduce the internal space of the housing 100 occupied by the external waste water pipe, in this embodiment, an accommodating groove 412 is concavely formed on the outer surface of the waste water tank 410 toward the inside thereof, and the external waste water pipe is accommodated in the accommodating groove 412, so that a space for accommodating the external waste water pipe does not need to be additionally reserved inside the housing 100.

Referring to fig. 9 to 11, in another embodiment, a difference from the above embodiment is that the waste water channel 430 is a built-in waste water pipe disposed inside the waste water tank 410. The internal waste pipe may be a separate structure installed in the waste tank 410 or an integrated structure integrally formed with the waste tank 410.

Specifically, the waste water tank 410 has a water storage chamber communicated with one end of the waste water flow passage 430 through a waste water connection pipe, and the other end of the waste water flow passage 430 is communicated with the dish washing device 200. The power pump 420 is installed on the waste water return pipe 450c to drive the water in the water storage chamber to flow back into the waste water flow channel 430, and the water is delivered to the bowl washing device 200 through the waste water flow channel 430. In the closed state of the power pump 420, although the water in the waste water tank 410 can pass through the power pump 420 into the built-in waste water pipe, the waste water reaches only the same height as the liquid level in the waste water tank 410, and cannot pass through a portion of the built-in waste water pipe higher than the overflow hole 41b, so that the water does not overflow into the dishwasher device 200.

Referring to fig. 9 to 11, as for the forming manner of the built-in wastewater pipeline, in the present embodiment, a partition plate 411 is disposed in the built-in wastewater pipeline, the wastewater channel 430 is partitioned into a water return channel 431 and a water outlet channel 432 by the partition plate 411, a lower end of the water return channel 431 is communicated with the wastewater tank 410 through a power pump 420, an upper end of the water return channel 431 is communicated with an upper end of the water outlet channel 432, and a lower end of the water outlet channel 432 is communicated with the dish washing device 200.

Specifically, the bottom of the water storage cavity is provided with a first water outlet 41d, the lower end of the water return channel 431 is provided with a water return port 41c, and the water return port 41c is communicated with the first water outlet 41d through a wastewater return pipe 450 c. The power pump 420 is attached to the waste water return pipe 450c, and the power pump 420 has a water inlet 421 and a water outlet 422, the water inlet 421 communicating with the first water outlet 41d, and the water outlet 422 communicating with the water return port 41 c. The upper end of the water return channel 431 is communicated with the upper end of the water outlet channel 432, the lower end of the water outlet channel 432 is provided with a second water outlet 41f, and the second water outlet 41f is communicated with the dish washing device 200.

Referring to fig. 9 to 11, further, a partition 411 is spaced apart from a ceiling of the waste water tank 410 to communicate the return water passage 431 with the outlet water passage 432, and an upper end of the partition 411 is higher than the overflow hole 41 b. When the power pump 420 is in a closed state, the liquid level in the wastewater tank 410 is finally lower than the overflow port, the water in the wastewater tank 410 can only reach the same level as the liquid level in the wastewater tank 410 in the backwater flow channel 431, and the wastewater cannot overflow the upper end of the partition 411, so that the wastewater cannot enter the water outlet flow channel 432 and cannot be uncontrollably overflowed to the dish washing device 200.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all modifications and equivalents of the present invention, which are made by the contents of the present specification and the accompanying drawings, or directly/indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are included in the scope of the present invention.
