具体实施方式
下面将结合附图对本申请的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本申请保护的范围。
在本申请的描述中，需要说明的是，术语“中心”、“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”、“竖直”、“水平”、“内”、“外”等指示的方位或位置关系为基于附图所示的方位或位置关系，仅是 为了便于描述本申请和简化描述，而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作，因此不能理解为对本申请的限制。此外，术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”仅用于描述目的，而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性。
在本申请的描述中，需要说明的是，除非另有明确的规定和限定，术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解，例如，可以是固定连接，也可以是可拆卸连接，或一体地连接；可以是机械连接，也可以是电连接；可以是直接相连，也可以通过中间媒介间接相连，可以是两个元件内部的连通。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言，可以具体情况理解上述术语在本申请中的具体含义。
现有技术中洗碗机内的消毒系统中只有软水器、蒸汽发生器和水杯几个部件相互装配配合，使用过程中，软水器会首先将接入自来水管道，将供给来的自来水进行软化处理，然后，直接将软化后的水分输送到水杯中，水杯中的水可以一部分用来供给洗碗机的内胆，通过内胆进行洗碗工作。同时，水杯中的另一部分水分也可以供给给蒸汽发生器，当蒸汽发生器从水杯中获取另一部分水分后，可以利用获取的该另一部分水分产生高温蒸汽，对内胆进行消毒。
由此可知，现有的洗碗机中，蒸汽发生器只能够从水杯中取水生成高温蒸汽，但是，由于水杯中的水分会供给给内胆，与内胆形成连通，一般水杯位于内胆的底部，所以在洗碗机进行洗碗操作后，水杯中的水分会形成污染而变得浑浊，如果不加过滤而将水杯中的水分供给给蒸汽发生器，那么蒸汽发生器便容易因水的不纯净而产生脏堵问题，或者即便水杯中的水分经过过滤后再供给给蒸汽发生器，那么水分也有过滤不彻底，对蒸汽发生器产生脏堵的情况，这便是蒸汽发生器使用时间长容易堵塞的原因。
为了解决上述的技术问题，本申请提供了如下的技术方案。
如图1至图3所示，本实施例提供的一种洗碗机的消毒系统，包括软水器1；所述消毒系统还包括水箱2，所述水箱2开设进口2111、第一出口2112和第二出口2121，所述进口2111与所述软水器1连接；所述消毒系统还包括水杯3，所述水杯3与所述第一出口2112连接；所述消毒系统还包括蒸汽发生器4，所述蒸汽发生器4与所述第二出口2121连接。
其中，该洗碗机的供给系统中首先增加了水箱2，且该水箱2在结构上具有进口2111、第一出口2112和第二出口2121三个连接口，根据该进口2111、第一出口2112和第二出口2121，在水箱2与软水器1、水杯3和蒸汽发生器4的装配连接结构中，水箱2的进口2111与软水器1连接，水箱2的第一出口2112与水杯3连接，水箱2的第二出口2121与蒸汽发生器4连接。
根据软水器1、水箱2、水杯3和蒸汽发生器4的装配连接结构，自来水进入到洗碗机后，首先会经过软水器1，软水器1可以对自来水进行软化处理，软化处理后的水分可以 首先进入到该水箱2中，而不是直接进入到水杯3中。在此过程中，可以设置水箱2中第一出口2112的高度位置，使水箱2中贮存一定量的水分后，再进一步的将水分输送到水杯3中，对水杯3进行供水。所以，水箱2的增设可以在软水器1对水杯3的供给过程中，也在水箱2中形成水分的存留，此时蒸汽发生器4与水箱2的第二出口2121连接，便可以直接从水箱2中获取软化后的水分，而不需要再从水杯3中获取水分，这样即便是水杯3中的水分被污染，那么蒸汽发生器4也还是可以从水箱2中获取相对更加干净的水分形成高温蒸汽，由于蒸汽发生器4使用的水分更加干净，那么也就不会产生堵塞的问题了。
同时参考图4至图9，在本实施例提供的一种水箱2中可以包括箱体21，所述箱体21具有第一容置腔211和第二容置腔212，所述第一容置腔211和所述第二容置腔212之间开设至少一个溢流口2131；所述箱体21上还开设有连通所述第一容置腔211的进口2111和第一出口2112，以及连通所述第二容置腔212的第二出口2121；所述第一出口2112低于所述溢流口2131。其中，该水箱2在结构上具有进口2111、第一出口2112和第二出口2121三个连接口，该水箱2的进口2111可以与软水器1连接，水箱2的第一出口2112可以与水杯3连接，水箱2的第二出口2121可以与蒸汽发生器4连接。
该水箱2通过具备的第一容置腔211和第二容置腔212以及第一容置腔211和第二容置腔212之间连通的溢流口2131，还能够在水箱2中形成防止倒流的结构。其中，软水器1将自来水软化后会沿着水箱2的进口2111进入到第一容置腔211，当进入到第一容置腔211内的水分达到水箱2的第一出口2112水位高度，水分便可以沿着第一出口2112进入到水杯3中。因为所述第一出口2112低于所述溢流口2131，所以直到水杯3被水分充满之前，第一容置腔211的水位不会超过第一出口2112，进而不会沿着溢流口2131进入到第二容置腔212，而只能够沿着第一出口2112进入到水杯3中。
直到水杯3中被水分充满，第一容置腔211中的水位会逐渐提高，水位达到溢流口2131后，第一容置腔211内的水分会逐渐沿着溢流口2131进入到第二容置腔212内。此时，蒸汽发生器4与水箱2的第二出口2121连接，可以直接从水箱2的第二容置腔212中获取软化后的水分。其中，所述第二出口2121可以连通在所述第二容置腔212的底部，以便水箱2的第二容置腔212内进入了部分水分后，蒸汽发生器4便可以从水箱2的第二容置腔212内获取水分。同时，本领域技术人员可以根据需求设置第二出口2121连通在第二容置腔212内的高度，以便在第二容置腔212内的水分达到合适的水位后允许蒸汽发生器4从第二容置腔212内获取水分。
在此过程中，因为只有在水杯3被水分充满，且第一容置腔211内的水分也需要进一步的达到溢流口2131的水位高度后，水分才会从第一容置腔211沿着溢流口2131进入到第二容置腔212，所以，水杯3内的水被污染后，如果不继续向第一容置腔211内供水， 提高第一容置腔211内的水位，则第一容置腔211内的水分并不会沿着溢流口2131进入到第二容置腔212，此时水杯3内被污染的水也便不能够回流至第二容置腔212，保证第二容置腔212内的水是干净的，蒸汽发生器4在第二容置腔212内获取水分不会造成蒸汽发生器4的堵塞。
其中，所述进口2111可以高于所述第一出口2112，此时第一容置腔211内的水分可以首先达到第一出口2112所在的水位高度，使软化器软化处理的水分经过进口2111进入到水箱2的第一容置腔211后，可以首先达到第一出口2112的水位，然后经过第一出口2112进入到水杯3中。同时，所述第一容置腔211的体积可以小于所述第二容置腔212，因为第一容置腔211的设置只是水分流经水杯3的途径结构，而第二容置腔212是用来存水的结构，第二容置腔212需要存储足够的水分供给蒸汽发生器4产生高温蒸汽，所以第二容置腔212的体积需要更大一些。
在一个实施例中，所述水箱2还包括限流板213，所述限流板213设置在所述箱体21的内腔，将所述内腔分隔成所述第一容置腔211和所述第二容置腔212。此时，限流板213可以与箱体21的内腔形成一体成型的结构，或者该限流板213也可以与箱体21的内腔形成相互可拆卸的结构，以便能够替换限流板213。其中，所述限流板213的顶端开设有缺口，所述缺口构成所述溢流口2131，这可以使溢流口2131通过限流板213可以箱体21的内壁(具体为顶壁)共同构成，使溢流口2131能够设置在箱体21内腔中最高的位置。
在另一个实施例中，参考图10和图11所述水箱2还包括单向阻流件214，所述单向阻流件214设置在所述第一出口2112，以允许流体从所述第一出口2112流出，阻止流体从所述第一出口2112流进。该单向阻流件214能够阻止水流的一个方向流动，而允许水流向另一个相反的方向流动。通过该单向阻流件214对水流的控制，水流便只能够从第一容置腔211向水杯3流动，而不能够从水杯3向第一容置腔211流动，防止水杯3中的脏水倒流进入到第一容置腔211，这便进一步的防止蒸汽发生器4获取的水分是被水杯3中的污水污染的水分。
该单向阻流件214可以采用单向阀等部件，除此之外，所述单向阻流件214还包括阻流筒2141和阻回片2142，通过阻流筒2141和阻回片2142构成。其中，所述阻回片2142的一侧转动装配在所述阻流筒2141内，例如可以通过转轴将阻回片2142的一侧转动装配在阻流筒2141的端口位置，而阻回片2142的另一侧则处于释放状态，可以沿着转轴转动打开阻流筒2141的内腔或将阻流筒2141的内腔封堵，对所述阻流筒2141的内腔形成活动遮挡。
同时，所述阻流筒2141内还设置有限位台阶2143，限制所述阻回片2142向内转动。因此，当第一容置腔211内的水分沿着第一出口2112流向水杯3时，水分的流动动力便会 冲开阻回片2142，使阻回片2142沿着转轴转动，打开阻流筒2141的内腔，允许水分流向水杯3。而水杯3中的水分若希望沿着第一出口2112流向第一容置腔211时，水分的流动动力会施加到阻回片2142上，阻回片2142沿着转轴反向转动后，会受到限位台阶2143的限位抵接，从而无法继续向阻流筒2141内转动，只能够抵接在限位台阶2143上对阻流筒2141的内腔形成封堵，因此就构成了阻流的效果。
与箱体21配合的，所述水箱2还包括箱盖22，所述箱盖22与所述箱体21配合安装；其中，所述箱盖22上开设有盖口221，所述盖口221上凸出有筒形的连接部222，在所述连接部222的底部至顶部方向上依次套设有第一密封圈223、固定圈224、第二密封圈225和旋盖226；所述固定圈224与所述第一密封圈223密封抵接，所述第二密封圈225密封抵接在所述连接筒和所述旋盖226之间。
所以，第二密封圈225和旋盖226旋合装配在连接部222上以后，就会对盖体的盖口221形成密封，与之配合的，第一密封圈223和固定圈224的装配能够进一步的对旋盖226的旋合装配形成密封，使盖口221经过第一密封圈223、固定圈224、第二密封圈225和旋盖226装配密封后具备良好的密封效果。
同时，参考图12和图13所示，在本实施例提供的一种蒸汽发生器4中还包括壳体41；所述蒸汽发生器4还包括发热部件42，所述发热部件42设置在所述壳体41内；所述蒸汽发生器4还包括第一温控器43和第二温控器44，所述第一温控器43和所述第二温控器44均与所述发热部件42控制连接；其中，所述第一温控器43的跳停温度小于所述第二温控器44的跳停温度。
所以，在该蒸汽发生器4工作过程中，第一温控器43和第二温控器44会同时于发热部件42进行温控连接，当第一温控器43失效时，第二温控器44依旧可以实现对发热部件42的控温，使蒸汽发生器4在工作过程中，具备双重的控温保障。
在一个实施例中，所述第一温控器43为可恢复温控器。同时，还可以选择所述第二温控器44为不可恢复温控器。当蒸汽发生器4发热异常时，可恢复的第一温控器43便可以首先跳断，使发热部件42及时断电，待发热部件42冷却后或恢复到合理温度范围后，第一温控器43便可以重新连接，使发热部件42恢复加热。此时，若第一温控器43失效后，蒸汽发生器4的温度超过第二温控器44的跳停温度，则证明此时蒸汽发生器4的温度过高，第二温控器44便直接跳停使发热部件42断开，停止加热，以此保障洗碗机的安全运行。
在一个实施例中，所述第一温控器43的跳停温度可以限定为190℃-210℃，例如，所述第一温控器43的跳停温度可以为190℃或210℃，也可以为195℃、200℃、205℃等。与此同时，所述第二温控器44的跳停温度也可以限定为260℃-280℃，例如，所述第二温控器44的跳停温度可以为270℃，也可以为260℃、265℃、275℃、280℃等，本领域技术 人员可以根据需求进行设置，在此便不再限定。
另外，所述蒸汽发生器4还包括第一温度传感器45，用于获取所述壳体41的温度信息；所述蒸汽发生器4还包括第一控制板，所述第一控制板与所述第一温度传感器45数据连接，所述第一控制板与所述发热部件42控制连接。该第一温度传感器45可以实时获取蒸汽发生器4壳体41的温度信息，当检测到蒸汽发生器4壳体41的温度过高后，可以通过第一控制板控制发热部件42停止工作，进而使蒸汽发生器4停止高温蒸汽的产生工作。与此同时，也可以对该蒸汽发生器4进行故障报告。
同时，所述蒸汽发生器4还包括第二温度传感器46，用于获取所述壳体41的温度信息；所述蒸汽发生器4还包括第二控制板，所述第二控制板与所述第二温度传感器46数据连接；所述蒸汽发生器4还包括抽水泵6，所述抽水泵6与所述壳体41连接，所述第二控制板与所述抽水泵6控制连接。该第二温度传感器46可以实时获取蒸汽发生器4壳体41的温度信息，当检测到蒸汽发生器4壳体41的温度过高后，可以通过第二控制板控制抽水泵6调整蒸汽发生器4的进水量，通过水分的吸热功能降低蒸汽发生器4的温度，从而通过调整配合的进水量来从而使蒸汽发生器4的温度稳定预设的合理温度范围内。这能够有效控制蒸汽发生器4的温度，使蒸汽发生器4不因器件老化而使蒸汽发生器4产生的温度降低。
继续参考图1所示，所述消毒系统还包括排水泵5，所述排水泵5与所述水杯3连接；所述消毒系统还包括控制器，所述控制器与所述排水泵5控制连接，在所述蒸汽发生器4启动前，启动所述排水泵5对所述水杯3换水。控制器可以根据预设的运行程序控制排水泵5的运行，例如，洗碗机的蒸汽发生器4在需要对内胆内施加高温蒸汽，进行高温蒸汽消毒时，控制器可以首先控制排水泵5启动，排水泵5会形成排水的动力将水杯3中的水分排出，同时，自来水本身也会具有动力向软化器、水箱2和水杯3的方向供水，这便可以在水杯3中形成连续进水和排水的动作，对水杯3内的水分实施换水操作。
上述控制器控制排水泵5在高温蒸汽消毒前启动，对水杯3中的水分实施换水操作的原因是，虽然水箱2中会留存相对更干净的水分，能够向蒸汽发生器4供给比水杯3中污染后更加干净的水分，减缓蒸汽发生器4的堵塞情况，但是，水杯3与水箱2是连通的，水杯3中的水分被污染后，也具有回流至水箱2中的可能，进而对水箱2中的干净水分形成少许污染。所以，在蒸汽发生器4进行高温蒸汽消毒前，可以利用控制器根据预设的运行程序控制排水泵5排出水杯3中的水分，对水杯3形成连续进水和出水的换水操作，这样就可以保证水杯3中的水分是更加干净的，甚至是尽量无任何杂质的水分，这样就可以保证水箱2中的水分是十分洁净的，蒸汽发生器4在水箱2中获取水分也不会有任何产生脏堵的风险。
继续参考图1所示，所述消毒系统还包括酸碱度检测器，用于获取所述水箱2中的酸 碱度信息；所述消毒系统抽水泵6，所述抽水泵6连接在所述水箱2和所述蒸汽发生器4之间；其中，所述控制器与所述酸碱度检测器和所述抽水泵6电连接，根据所述酸碱度信息控制所述抽水泵6运行。此时，酸碱度检测器可以通过获取所述水箱2中的酸碱度信息，判断水箱2中是否投放了洗涤剂，该洗涤剂可以用来去除蒸汽发生器4使用时间长以后，在蒸汽发生器4的水管路中形成的水垢。
因为，当洗碗机长时间使用后，蒸汽发生器4的水管路会容易形成水垢。此时就需要通过向水箱2中投放酸碱度适合的洗涤剂，使洗涤剂随着水流进入到蒸汽发生器4的水管路中，去除蒸汽发生器4的水管路中形成的水垢，例如可以洗涤剂可以采用柠檬酸。在具体的去除过程中，可以是用户主动向水箱2中投放洗涤剂，或者也可以利用自动投放装置向水箱2中定期、定时或定量的投放洗涤剂，本领域技术人员可以根据需求设置。
无论是自动投放洗涤剂，还是主动投放洗涤剂，一旦洗涤剂被投放到水箱2中，酸碱度检测器便可以检测到水箱2中水分的酸碱度变化，当酸碱度信息达到预设的范围，便可以识别水箱2中已经投放了适量的洗涤剂，对于酸碱度信息的识别范围，本领域技术人员可以根据洗碗机的水箱2容量大小、采用的洗涤剂种类以及定期清洗的间隔时间等因素进行设定，在此便不作限定。
所以，当酸碱度检测器识别到酸碱度信息达到预设的范围，即识别水箱2中已经投放了适量的洗涤剂后，便可以利用控制器根据预设的运行程序控制抽水泵6运行，通过抽水泵6的抽水动力，将水箱2中的水分抽取到蒸汽发生器4中，此时水箱2中的水分是投放了洗涤剂的混合液体，当抽水泵6将该混合有洗涤剂的水分抽取到蒸汽发生器4中以后，便可以对蒸汽发生器4的水管路形成冲洗，进而利用洗涤剂去除蒸汽发生器4的水管路中形成的水垢，提高蒸汽发生器4的使用寿命，保证高温蒸汽的效果。
其中，所述消毒系统还包括温度传感器，用于获取所述水箱2的温度信息；所述消毒系统还包括信号器，所述信号器与所述温度传感器数据连接，根据所述温度信息生成提示信号。该温度传感器获取水箱2的温度信息后，可以对蒸汽发生器4的水管路内是否结垢进行判断，因为水垢的产生会导致壳体41温度的上升，所以通过温度传感器获取壳体41温升的温度信息，例如壳体41的温升速度或壳体41的实时温度等，就可以对蒸汽发生器4的水管路是否结垢形成判断。当然，对于不同蒸汽发生器4的水管路的材质或结构，本领域技术人员可以设置不同的温度范围表示蒸汽发生器4的水管路产生结垢问题，在此不做限定。
当温度传感器获取的温度信息表示此时蒸汽发生器4的水管路结垢，该信号器便可以根据该温度信息生成提示信号，该提示信号的形式可以为灯光表示形式，亦可以为语音表示形式，该提示信号可以提醒用户向水箱2内投放洗涤剂，进而根据实际需求，主动的开 启对蒸汽发生器4的水管路的清洗程序，去除蒸汽发生器4的水管路的水垢，保证蒸汽发生器4具备良好的工作状态。
本申请还提供了一种消毒方法，可参考所述消毒系统，步骤如下：利用所述软水器1软化水分；软化后的水分经过所述水箱2向所述水杯3供给，其中部分水分留存在所述水箱2中；所述蒸汽发生器4直接从所述水箱2中获取留存的水分进行蒸汽消毒。由此可知，此时该消毒方法中自来水进入到洗碗机后，首先会经过软水器1，软水器1可以对自来水进行软化处理，软化处理后的水分可以首先进入到该水箱2中，而不是直接进入到水杯3中。
在此过程中，水箱2中贮存一定量的水分后，才会进一步的将水分输送到水杯3中，对水杯3进行供水。所以，此时蒸汽发生器4与水箱2的第二出口2121连接，可以直接从水箱2中获取软化后留存的水分，而不需要再从水杯3中获取水分，这样即便是水杯3中的水分被污染，那么蒸汽发生器4也还是可以从水箱2中获取相对更加干净的水分形成高温蒸汽，由于蒸汽发生器4使用的水分更加干净，那么也就不会产生堵塞的问题了。
其中，在该消毒方法中，利用所述软水器1软化水分，软化后的水分经过所述水箱2向所述水杯3供给，其中部分水分留存在所述水箱2中；清洁所述水杯3后启动所述蒸汽发生器4从所述水箱2中获取留存的水分进行蒸汽消毒。此时，该消毒方法中自来水进入到洗碗机后，首先会经过软水器1，软水器1可以对自来水进行软化处理，软化处理后的水分可以首先进入到该水箱2中，而不是直接进入到水杯3中。

另外，水杯3与水箱2是连通的，水杯3中的水分被污染后，也具有回流至水箱2中的可能，进而对水箱2中的干净水分形成少许污染。所以，在蒸汽发生器4进行高温蒸汽消毒前，可以首先对水杯3进行清洗操作，保证水杯3中的水分是更加干净的，甚至是尽量无任何杂质的水分，这样就可以保证水箱2中的水分是十分洁净的，蒸汽发生器4在水箱2中获取水分也不会有任何产生脏堵的风险。
在一个实施例中，清洁所述水杯3包括：开启所述排水泵5对所述水杯3进行换水，通过换水清洗所述水杯3。具体的，在蒸汽发生器4进行高温蒸汽消毒前，可以控制排水泵5启动来排出水杯3中的水分，排水泵5会形成排水的动力将水杯3中的水分排出，同时，自来水本身也会具有动力向软化器、水箱2和水杯3的方向供水，这便可以在水杯3 中形成连续进水和排水的动作，对水杯3内的水分实施换水操作。
其中，在该消毒方法中，所述酸碱度信息达到预设范围时，开启所述抽水泵6向所述水箱2供水，利用水流清洗所述蒸汽发生器4的水管路。这是因为当洗碗机长时间使用后，蒸汽发生器4的水管路会容易形成水垢，此时就需要通过向水箱2中投放酸碱度适合的洗涤剂，使洗涤剂随着水流进入到蒸汽发生器4的水管路中，去除蒸汽发生器4的水管路中形成的水垢。
当洗涤剂被投放到水箱2中，酸碱度检测器便可以检测到水箱2中水分的酸碱度变化，当酸碱度信息达到预设的范围，便可以识别水箱2中已经投放了适量的洗涤剂。此时，便可以控制抽水泵6运行，通过抽水泵6的抽水动力，将水箱2中的水分抽取到蒸汽发生器4中，利用混合有洗涤剂的水分对蒸汽发生器4的水管路形成冲洗，去除蒸汽发生器4的水管路中形成的水垢，提高蒸汽发生器4的使用寿命，保证高温蒸汽的效果。
其中，在该消毒方法中，所述温度信息达到预设范围时，所述信号器生成提示信号，提醒用户向水箱2投放洗涤剂；所述酸碱度信息达到预设范围时，开启所述抽水泵6向所述水箱2供水，利用水流清洗所述水箱2。这是因为当洗碗机长时间使用后，蒸汽发生器4的水管路会容易形成水垢，此时就需要通过向水箱2中投放酸碱度适合的洗涤剂，使洗涤剂随着水流进入到蒸汽发生器4的水管路中，去除蒸汽发生器4的水管路中形成的水垢。

当洗涤剂被用户投放到水箱2中，酸碱度检测器便可以检测到水箱2中水分的酸碱度变化，当酸碱度信息达到预设的范围，便可以识别水箱2中已经投放了适量的洗涤剂。此时，便可以控制抽水泵6运行，通过抽水泵6的抽水动力，将水箱2中的水分抽取到蒸汽发生器4中，利用混合有洗涤剂的水分对蒸汽发生器4的水管路形成冲洗，去除蒸汽发生器4的水管路中形成的水垢，提高蒸汽发生器4的使用寿命，保证高温蒸汽的效果。
本申请还提供了一种洗碗机，包括所述消毒系统；所述软水器1、所述水箱2、所述水杯3和所述蒸汽发生器4均设置在所述洗碗机的底部。由于所述消毒系统的具体结构、功能原理以及技术效果均在前文详述，在此便不再赘述。任何有关于所述消毒系统的技术内容均可参考前文的记载。而将所述软水器1、所述水箱2、所述水杯3和所述蒸汽发生器4均设置在所述洗碗机的底部，可以对所述软水器1、所述水箱2、所述水杯3和所述蒸汽发生器4在装配高度上形成相对水平的配合关系，此时便可以缓解水分在经过软水器1后没有压力或压力较低的问题，使水分的自由流动更加顺畅。
