The water inlet means may comprise a water pump, filter, heater, etc. assembly, and a series of connecting lines for delivering cleaning water to various portions of the dishwasher 100. When it is desired to wash dishes in the first chamber 111, the first water inlet assembly provides wash water to the first spray arm 113. The primary function of the first water inlet assembly is to provide a stable, proper amount of wash water to the first chamber 111. This washing water is sprayed onto the dishes through the first spray arm 113 to remove stains and food residues. The second water inlet assembly communicates with a second spray arm 114 within the second chamber 112. Similar to the first water intake assembly, the lower water intake assembly is responsible for providing wash water to the dishes within the second chamber 112. During the washing of the dishwasher 100, the first water inlet assembly and the second water inlet assembly cooperate to supply the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 with the proper amount of washing water, respectively, according to the control program of the dishwasher 100 and the user's setting, so as to ensure that the dishes inside the entire dishwasher 100 can be sufficiently washed.

It will be appreciated that the heating system is typically integrated into the waterway system 140 and is coupled to the water inlet means by piping, valves, etc. In the cleaning process, when the washing water needs to be heated, the heating system can start and heat cold water in the water flow, and then the heated washing water is correspondingly conveyed into the first chamber 111 or the second chamber 112 through the water inlet device, the first spray arm 113 or the second spray arm 114 to clean tableware. As the temperature of the wash water increases, the activity of the detergent increases, making it more prone to penetrate into stains and break them down. Thus, the heating system can significantly improve the detergency of the dishwasher 100, making the dishes cleaner. The high-temperature washing water is not only helpful for removing stains, but also can sterilize and disinfect tableware. This is important for maintaining the hygiene of the cutlery and preventing bacterial growth. At higher temperatures, stains and grease are more easily washed away by the water stream, thereby reducing cleaning time and energy consumption.

For example, in the example of fig. 6, the bottom edge of the first door 121 is rotatably coupled with the body 110, the bottom edge of the second door 122 is rotatably coupled with the body 110, the first door 121 and the second door 122 are rotated up and down to be opened or closed, and in the example of fig. 10, the left side of the first door 121 is rotatably coupled with the body 110, the left side of the second door 122 is rotatably coupled with the body 110, and both the first door 121 and the second door 122 are rotated left and right to be separated or closed. As shown in fig. 17, in some embodiments, the first door 121 and the second door 122 may be slidably connected to the body 110 through a telescopic plate 124, and the placement frames 115 in the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 are disposed on the telescopic plate 124, forming a drawer-type structure. When the first door body 121 is pulled, the expansion plate 124 is pulled out along with the first door body 121, and meanwhile, the rack 115 can move outside the machine body 110 along with the expansion plate 124, so that the tableware can be placed or taken conveniently.
Of course, as shown in fig. 7 to 9, in some embodiments, the door assembly 120 may be an integrated door, i.e., the first door 121 and the second door 122 are not provided for the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112, respectively, so that the structure of the dishwasher 100 may be simplified and the cost may be reduced.
Referring to fig. 11 to 14, according to some embodiments of the present application, a partition assembly 130 is vertically disposed in a body 110, and a first chamber 111 and a second chamber 112 are distributed left and right. As shown in fig. 12, the first door 121 and the second door 122 are disposed at left and right sides of the body 110 corresponding to the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112, respectively, wherein the first door 121 and the second door 122 may be disposed in a parallel door or a middle door, which is not particularly limited herein, and may be disposed according to specific requirements. As shown in fig. 13 and 14, the door assembly 120 may be an integrated door, i.e., the first door 121 and the second door 122 are not provided for the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112, respectively, so that the structure of the dishwasher 100 may be simplified and the cost may be reduced. It should be noted that, the specific installation mode and the opening direction of the door assembly 120 are not limited, and may be adaptively set according to the user requirement, the usage habit, and the like.
Referring to fig. 2 to 4, according to some embodiments of the present application, the first chamber 111 is located at an upper side of the second chamber 112, the door assembly 120 further includes an opening and closing frame 123, the opening and closing frame 123 is movably coupled to the body 110, and the first door 121 and the second door 122 are both coupled to the opening and closing frame 123, and at least one of them is movable with respect to the opening and closing frame 123. For example, the second door 122 is fixedly connected to the opening and closing frame 123, and the first door 121 is movably connected to the opening and closing frame 123. The open-close frame 123 is movably coupled to the body 110 such that the open-close frame 123 can be rotated or moved with respect to the body 110, thereby controlling the open-close states of the first and second chambers 111 and 112. The first door 121 is movably connected with the opening and closing frame 123, and the second door 122 is fixedly connected with the opening and closing frame 123, so that the opening and closing frame 123 becomes a key component for connecting the first door 121, the second door 122 and the machine body 110. The first door 121 and the second door 122 are both connected to the opening and closing frame 123, so that they can move along with the movement of the opening and closing frame 123, thereby realizing the control of the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 at the same time. The opening and closing frame 123 not only provides a supporting and connecting platform for the first door 121 and the second door 122, but also directly participates in the opening and closing control of the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112, so that the dishwasher 100 is more flexible to use.
When it is required to simultaneously open the first and second chambers 111 and 112, the opening and closing frame 123 may be operated to move to one side, and at this time, the first and second door bodies 121 and 122 are rotated or moved together with the opening and closing frame 123, thereby simultaneously opening the first and second chambers 111 and 112. When all the sealed sub-chambers need to be closed, the opening and closing frame 123 can be pushed back to the original position, and the first door 121 and the second door 122 can also be closed along with the movement of the opening and closing frame 123, so that the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 are resealed. And at least one of the first door 121 and the second door 122 is movable with respect to the opening and closing frame 123, i.e., at least one of the first door 121 and the second door 122 may be individually opened or closed, so that the opening and closing of its corresponding first chamber 111 or second chamber 112 may still be individually controlled. In this way, the opening and closing frame 123 can simultaneously control the opening and closing of the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112, and the first door 121 or the second door 122 is operated to move relative to the opening and closing frame 123 to independently control the opening and closing of the first chamber 111 or the second chamber 112, so that the operation steps of the overall opening of the door assembly 120 are reduced, the operation efficiency is improved, and the independent control of the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 is not affected.
In some embodiments, dishwasher 100 further includes at least one sterilization system for sterilizing the dishes within first and second chambers 111, 112. It will be appreciated that in the present embodiment, the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 may be simultaneously sterilized by providing one sterilizing system, so that the space inside the body 110 occupied by providing a plurality of sterilizing systems may be reduced. Of course, in other embodiments, a set of disinfection systems may be separately disposed corresponding to the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112.
Alternatively, the sterilization system can sterilize the sealed subchamber in a combination mode of one or more of high temperature sterilization, ultraviolet sterilization or ozone sterilization.
In some embodiments, waterway system 140 further includes a water circulation device coupled between water supply 142 and drain 141. It can be appreciated that the water circulation system can collect and filter the sprayed washing water in the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 in the washing or rinsing process, and then spray the water again through the water supply device 142 and the first spray arm 113 or the second spray arm 114 to act on the tableware in the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112, so that water resources can be effectively saved.
