如图1，根据本申请实施例的洗碗机100的水路总成40，洗碗机100包括内胆10、水杯(图中未示出)、盐腔模块30和耗材投放模块20，其中，内胆10内可以放置餐具等，并可以实现对餐具等的洗涤、烘干和/或保存等功能；水杯连接于内胆底部；盐腔模块30用于储盐(存放再生盐)，在树脂腔内的介质需要再生时，可以将盐腔内的再生盐通往树脂腔42，以用于介质再生。耗材投放模块20用于耗材存储和投放，耗材投放模块20内适于安装或放置耗材，并配置为用于向内胆10内投放耗材，以协助餐具等的清洗。
具体而言，水路总成40具有进水通道41、盐腔通道45、树脂腔42、投放通道43和投放口441，进水通道41用于进水，盐腔通道45用于连接盐腔模块30，树脂腔42用于软化水质，投放通道43用于连接耗材投放模块20，投放口441用于投放介质。
另外，水路总成40包括切换组件48，切换组件48分别连接进水通道41、盐腔通道45、树脂腔42、投放通道43以及投放口441，切换组件48用于引导流体从进水通道41通入盐腔通道45，其中，盐腔通道45可以将流体送往盐腔模块30；切换组件48还用于引导盐腔模块30的流体经盐腔通道45通入树脂腔42；切换组件48还用于引导流体从树脂腔42通入投放通道43以送往耗材投放模块20；切换组件48还用于耗材投放模块20的流体经投放通道43送往所述投放口441。
在需要进行树脂再生时，通过进水通道41进入的水流，可以通过盐腔通道45送往盐腔模块30，盐腔模块30内存放的再生盐经浸泡后溶入水中，切换组件48还用于连通盐腔通道45与树脂腔42，盐腔模块30内的盐水可以通过盐腔通道45流入到树脂腔42，以实现树脂腔42内的树脂再生。投放通道43能够引导流体通入耗材投放模块20，以冲刷或溶解耗材投放模块20内的耗材；投放通道43还可以引导流体从耗材投放模块20通往投放口441，最终通过投放口441投放到内胆10内，完成耗材的投放。
根据本申请实施例的洗碗机100的水路总成40，具有盐腔通道45，盐腔通道45可以用于连接盐腔模块30，从而可以通过水路总成40，将水通往盐腔模块30，用于溶解盐腔模块30内的盐，还可以将盐腔模块30内溶解有盐的盐水通往树脂腔42，供树脂腔42内的树脂再生。简化了水路总成40的结构，提高了水路总成40的集成度，并将盐腔模块30与水路总成40分离，从而可以方便将盐腔模块30放置于适合加盐的位置，简化用户加盐的操作步骤。
本申请中的水路总成40可以具有多种工作模式。例如：水路总成40可以具有第一洗涤供水模式、第二洗涤供水模式、盐腔供水模式和/或树脂再生模式等。
在第一洗涤供水模式，进水通道41、树脂腔42和投放口441连通。其中，水流通过进水通道41通入树脂腔42，并在经过树脂腔42软化后进入投放口441，从而将软化后的水通入到内胆10。水通过进水口413进入进水通道41，随后进入到树脂腔42进行软化处理，并在软化处理后通往投放口441或耗材投放模块20，并送往内胆10参与洗涤；
在第二洗涤供水模式，在第二洗涤供水模式进水通道41、树脂腔42、投放通道43和投放口441连通。其中，水流通过进水通道41通入树脂腔42，并在经过树脂腔42软化后进入投放通道43，并通过投放通道43通入到耗材投放模块20，并在经过耗材投放模块20后通入到投放口441，从而将软化后的水通入到内胆10。
在盐腔模块30供水模式，进水通道41、树脂腔与盐腔通道45连通。其中，水流可以通过进水通道41进入到盐腔通道45，并可以通过盐腔通道45导入到盐腔模块30内，从而方便将盐腔模块30内的盐溶解于水中，准备进行树脂再生。水通过进水口413进入进水通道41，并经过盐腔通道45进入盐腔模块30，以用于溶解盐腔模块30内存放的盐；
在树脂再生模式，盐腔通道45与树脂腔42连通。其中，盐腔模块30内的盐水可以通过盐腔通道45流入到树脂腔42，从而实现树脂腔42内的树脂再生，在树脂再生完成后，第一工作模式中就能够更好的软化水质，提高洗涤的效果。盐腔模块30内的盐水通过盐腔接口451流入到盐腔通道45，并通过盐腔通道45送往树脂腔42，以实现树脂再生。
当然，本申请中的水路总成40可以实现上述工作模式中的一种或多种。
为了实现切换组件48在不同工作模式之间的切换，本申请提供了一些实现方式。
在一些实施例中，进水通道41与树脂腔42保持连通，且切换组件48配置为控制进水通道41和盐腔通道45接通或断开，以及控制树脂腔42和投放口441接通或断开。
具体而言，在切换组件48配置为：控制进水通道41与盐腔通道45断开、树脂腔42与投放口441接通时，水流可以从进水通道41通入到树脂腔42，并在经过树脂腔42后通入到投放口441，切换组件48处于第一洗涤供水模式；
在切换组件48配置为：控制进水通道41与盐腔通道45接通、树脂腔42与投放口441断开时，水流可以从进水通道41通入到树脂腔42和盐腔通道45，其中，由于树脂腔42与投放口441断开，进入到树脂腔42的水流将会被截断，因此进水通道41的水流只能通往盐腔通道45，并在经过盐腔通道45后通入到盐腔模块30，切换组件48处于盐腔供水模式；
在切换组件48配置为：盐腔通道45与树脂腔42接通、树脂腔42与投放口441接通时，盐腔模块30内的盐水将会通过盐腔通道45流入到树脂腔42，从而实现树脂腔42内的树脂再生，切换组件48处于树脂再生模式。
再另一些实施例中，进水通道41与树脂腔42保持连通，投放通道43的回流口435与投放口441保持连通，且切换组件48配置为控制进水通道41和盐腔通道45接通或断开，以及树脂腔42和投放口441接通或断开，以及树脂腔42和投放通道43的注水口432接通或断开。
如图2，在切换组件48配置为：控制进水通道41与盐腔通道45断开、树脂腔42与投放口441接通、树脂腔42和投放通道43的注水口432断开时，水流可以从进水通道41通入到树脂腔42，并在经过树脂腔42后通入到投放口441，切换组件48处于第一洗涤供水模式；
如图4，在切换组件48配置为：控制进水通道41与盐腔通道45接通、树脂腔42与投放口441断开、树脂腔42与投放通道43的注水口432断开时，水流可以从进水通道41通入到树脂腔42和盐腔通道45，其中，由于树脂腔42与投放口441断开、树脂腔42与投放通道43断开，进入到树脂腔42的水流将会被截断，因此进水通道41的水流只能通往盐腔通道45，并在经过盐腔通道45后通入到盐腔模块30，切换组件48处于盐腔供水模式；
如图5，在切换组件48配置为：控制盐腔通道45与树脂腔42接通、树脂腔42与投放口441接通，盐腔模块30内的盐水将会通过盐腔通道45流入到树脂腔42，从而实现树脂腔42内的树脂再生，切换组件48处于树脂再生模式，盐水充满树脂腔42后，将树脂腔42与投放口441断开，使盐水与树脂充分浸泡置换，随后将树脂腔42与投放口441接通，实现完成再生后的废水排出树脂腔。此后，可以切换为第一洗涤供水模式，通过对树脂腔42通水，实现对树脂腔的冲洗并排除。
如图3，在切换组件48配置为：控制进水通道41与盐腔通道45断开、树脂腔42与投放口断开、树脂腔42与投放通道43接通时，水流可以从进水通道41通入到树脂腔42，其中，由于树脂腔42与投放口441断开、树脂腔42与投放通道43接通，进入到树脂腔42的水流将会流入到投放通道43，因此进水通道41的水流将会通往投放通道43，并在经过投放通道43后通入到耗材投放模块20，随后将耗材投放模块20内的耗材溶解或冲刷，此时投放通道43的回流口435与投放口441441接通，耗材投放模块20内的耗材通入到投放口441投放到内胆10内，切换组件48处于第二洗涤供水模式。
在前述实施例中，切换组件48可以控制树脂腔42和投放通道43的注水口432接通或断开，因此，可以将切换组件48配置为从树脂腔42到投放通道43的注水口432单向导通，且开启压力不小于预定阈值。这样，当控制进水通道41和盐腔通道45接通和/或树脂腔42和投放口441接通时，由于水流可以通入到盐腔通道45或投放口441，树脂腔42和投放通道43之间不会达到开启压力，树脂腔42和投放通道43之间断开；当控制进水通道41和盐腔通道45断开、且树脂腔42和投放口441断开时，水流只能通往投放通道43，树脂腔42和投放通道43之间将会达到开启压力，树脂腔42和投放通道43的注水口432接通。
在一些实施例中，切换组件48可以包括：第一控制阀481、第二控制阀482和第三控制阀483，第一控制阀481配置为控制进水通道41和盐腔通道45接通或断开；第二控制阀482配置为控制树脂腔42和水杯接口接通或断开；第三控制阀483配置从树脂腔42到投放通道43的注水口432单向导通，且开启压力不小于预定阈值。其中，第一控制阀481、第二控制阀482和第三控制阀483中的任一个可以设为电磁阀。
结合前述实施例，如图2，在第一控制阀481关闭、第二控制阀482打开、第三控制阀483未达到开启压力时，切换组件48处于第一洗涤供水模式；如图4，在第一控制阀481打开、第二控制阀482关闭、第三控制阀483未达到开启压力时，切换组件48处于盐腔供水模式；如图5，在第一控制阀481打开、第二控制阀482打开、第三控制阀483未达到开启压力，进水通道41的进水口413不再进水时，切换组件48处于树脂再生模式；如图3，在第一控制阀481关闭、第二控制阀482关闭、第三控制阀483达到开启压力时，切换组件48处于第二洗涤供水模式。
在本申请的一些实施例中，投放口441包括水杯接口，水杯接口用于连接内胆10的水杯。
如图1和图6，在本申请的一些实施例中，水路总成40还包括溢流通道46和用于连接盐腔模块30的溢流接口461，溢流通道46的上端连通溢流接口461，且下端连通水杯接口。具体而言，在洗碗机100的使用过程中，当盐腔模块30发生溢流时，溢流的流体会通过溢流接口461流入到溢流通道46内，并在随后通过溢流通道46流入到投放口441，进而将盐腔模块30内多余的流体送出。其中，溢流的流体可以通过投放口441排入内胆10，进入到内胆10的流体通过排水通道403排出，从而避免了盐腔模块30中的流体水位、流量等过大，导致洗碗机100运行不稳定或洗碗机100中流体溢出等问题。溢流通道46连通水杯接口，可以将从盐腔模块30溢流的流体通入到水杯内，方便溢流的流体的排放，并避免在内胆的内壁上产生蚀痕等，可以延长内胆的使用寿命，并方便洗碗机100的清洗。
结合前述实施例，如图1，投放通道43可以包括第一通道431、第二通道434和第三通道，水路总成40的上端设有第一接口433和第二接口436，第一通道431的下端选择性地与树脂腔42接通或断开，且第一通道431的上端连接第一接口433；第二通道434的上端连接第二接口436，且第二通道434的下端连通第三通道的下端，第三通道的下端与水杯接口保持连通，溢流通道46的下端连通第三通道，并经第三通道连通水杯接口。因此，可以通过第一通道431向耗材投放模块20供水，并通过第二通道434将耗材投放模块20内的水和耗材通入到投放口441，从而可以方便耗材的投放。如前所述，可以将进水口413通入的水通入到盐腔模块30，用于盐的溶解，并将盐带到树脂腔42，用于树脂再生，为了树脂再生过程中能够有效的控制盐的投放量，并避免由于通入的水量过多，影响盐腔模块30的稳定性，本申请中还设置了溢流结构，从而在盐腔模块30内通入的水量过高时，可以通过溢流结构进行溢流。
水路总成40的上端还设有盐腔接口451，盐腔通道45的上端连通盐腔接口451，且盐腔通道45的下端选择性地与树脂腔42接通或断开。在本申请的一些实施例中，盐腔通道45中向盐腔模块30供水和盐腔模块30向树脂腔42供水的通道可以为一条通道也可以为两条通道。
结合前述，盐腔接口451、溢流接口461、第一接口433和第二接口436在水路总成40的上端并排设置。从而方便水路总成40连接盐腔模块30以及耗材投放模块20，可以简化水路总成40的结构，并方便水路总成40与其他元器件的连接，提高洗碗机100的稳定性。
本申请中设置了水路总成40，并可以通过水路总成40向内胆10、耗材投放模块20以及盐腔模块30供水，从而将向内胆供水的水路、向耗材投放模块20供水的水路以及向盐腔模块30供水的水路集成在一起，实现了洗碗机100的模块化设计，可以有效的提高洗碗机100的装配效率。另外将水路集成于水路总成40，可以减少洗碗机100中的水路接头，降低接头漏水的可能性，从而可以优化洗碗机100的稳定性，同时，通过模块化的设计，可以及时的发现故障、维修故障等，因此可以方便洗碗机100的维护。
在耗材投放、洗碗机100运行等过程中，容易出现内外压差不一致的问题，例如，水路总成40内的气压与外部的气压不一致；或内胆10内的气压与外部的气压不一致等，为此，本申请中设置了空气腔47，通过空气腔47连通洗碗机100外部，以平衡气压。
如图1、图7和图8，在本申请的一些实施例中，水路总成40还具有空气腔47，空气腔47与洗碗机100的外部连通，空气腔47可以具有进水通气口4705、投放通气口4706，进水通气口4705与进水通道41连通，投放通气口4706与投放通道43连通。也就是说，空气腔47可以设置为与进水通道41连通；也可以设置为与投放通道43连通；还可以设置为与进水通道41和和投放通道43均连通等等。能够平衡洗碗机100内外的气压，在流体流通的过程中，可以避免内外气压不一致导致流阻增大的问题，维护水路总成40的稳定运行。
其中，结合前述实施例，水路总成40内具有空气腔47，可以通过空气腔47平衡内外气压，具体而言，空气腔47与洗碗机100的外部连通，并具有与进水通道41连通的进水通气口4705和/或与盐腔通道45连通的盐腔通气口。从而可以通过空气腔47来平衡水路总成40内外的气压，方便水流从进水口413通入到树脂腔42，以及方便水流从树脂腔42通入到第一接口433等，降低流体阻力，节能环保。

下面参照附图1至图12描述本申请一个实施例的水路总成40的示意图。
如图1所示，水路总成40包括进水通道41、投放通道43、盐腔通道45、溢流通道46、排水通道403、空气腔47和树脂腔42，并包括进水口413、水杯接口，内胆接口442、第一接口433、第二接口436、盐腔接口451和溢流接口461。树脂腔42设于水路总成40的下部，进水口413设于树脂腔42的下方，进水通道41包括第一支路411和第二支路412，第一支路411的下端连接进水口413，并从树脂腔42沿宽度方向的一侧向上延伸至水路总成40的上部，第二支路412的上端连接第一支路411的上端，且下端延伸至树脂腔42的所述一侧并连接第一控制阀481，第一控制阀481具有三个口，分别连接进水通道41、树脂腔42的上部空间以及盐腔通道45的下端。水路总成40还包括中间通道，中间通道连接树脂腔42的下端，并从树脂腔42沿宽度方向的另一端向上延伸至连接第三阀门，第一通道431的下端连接第三阀门，且上端延伸至水路总成40的上端并连接第一接口433，第二通道434的上端连接第二接口436，且下端延伸至连接水杯接口，水杯接口可以设置于树脂腔42的上部。

在本申请的一些实施例中，包括如下工作方式：
如图2，预洗进水阶段：第一控制阀481关闭、第二控制阀482打开、第三控制阀483未达到开启压力时，切换组件48处于第一洗涤供水模式，水流可以从进水通道41通入到树脂腔42，并在经过树脂腔42后通入到投放口441。
如图3，主洗、漂洗进水阶段：第一控制阀481关闭、第二控制阀482关闭、第三控制阀483达到开启压力，切换组件48处于第二洗涤供水模式，水流可以从进水通道41通入到树脂腔42，其中，由于树脂腔42与投放口441断开、树脂腔42与投放通道43接通，进入到树脂腔42的水流将会流入到投放通道43，因此进水通道41的水流将会通往投放通道43，并在经过投放通道43后通入到耗材投放模块20，随后将耗材投放模块20内的耗材溶解或冲刷，以将耗材投放模块20内的耗材通入到投放口441。
如图4，盐腔进水阶段：第一控制阀481打开、第二控制阀482关闭、第三控制阀483未达到开启压力时，切换组件48处于盐腔供水模式，水流可以从进水通道41通入到树脂腔42和盐腔通道45，其中，由于树脂腔42与投放口441断开、树脂腔42与投放通道43断开，进入到树脂腔42的水流将会被截留，因此进水通道41的水流只能通往盐腔通道45，并在经过盐腔通道45后通入到盐腔模块30。
如图5，再生阶段；第一控制阀481打开、第二控制阀482打开、第三控制阀483未达到开启压力，进水通道41的进水口413不再进水时，切换组件48处于树脂再生模式，盐腔模块30内的盐水将会通过盐腔通道45流入到树脂腔42，盐水充满树脂腔42后，将树脂腔42与投放口441断开，使盐水与树脂充分浸泡置换，从而实现树脂腔42内的树脂再生，随后可以将树脂腔42与投放口441接通，实现完成再生后的废水排出树脂腔。此后，可以切换为第一洗涤供水模式，通过对树脂腔42通水，实现对树脂腔的冲洗并排除。
如图6，溢流回流：此时水路总成40可以处于故障状态，第一控制阀481和第二控制阀482可以有水流通过或无水流通过，盐腔模块30内的流体回流至溢流通道46，并在经过溢流通道46后流向水杯接口。
如图12，本申请还提供了一种洗碗机100，根据本申请实施例的洗碗机100，包括内胆10，内胆10内可以放置餐具等，并可以实现对餐具等的洗涤、烘干和/或保存等功能。洗碗机100还包括盐腔模块30，盐腔模块30连接内胆10，盐腔模块30用于存放再生盐，在需要进行树脂再生时，可以将盐腔内的再生盐通往树脂腔42，以用于树脂再生。洗碗机100还包括水路总成40，水路总成40设于内胆10上，盐腔通道45连接盐腔模块30，投放口441连通内胆10的内部空间。本申请的洗碗机100利用水路总成40连接盐腔模块30，将水通往盐腔模块30，用于溶解盐腔模块30内的盐，还可以将盐腔模块30内溶解有盐的盐水通往树脂腔42，供树脂腔42内的树脂再生。简化了水路总成40的结构，提高了水路总成40的集成度，并将盐腔模块30与水路总成40分离，从而可以方便将盐腔模块30放置于适合加盐的位置，简化用户加盐的操作步骤。
如图12，在本申请的一些实施例中，盐腔模块30设于内胆10外侧，且至少部分设于内胆10的上方。盐腔模块30内可以放入盐，并在树脂使用一端时间后，需要通入盐水再生，可以通过盐腔模块30向树脂腔42内通入盐水。可以避免内胆10内的水、蒸汽、高温等对盐腔模块30内存放的再生介质的影响，方便盐腔模块30内再生介质的稳定存放，而将盐腔模块30设于内胆10的上方，可以方便用户向盐腔模块30内添加盐等介质。具体而言，将盐腔模块30设置在了洗碗机100的上部，盐腔模块30的位置比较高，用户无需弯腰即可完成向盐腔模块30添加再生介质，同时相比于将盐腔模块30设于洗碗机100的前面或侧面，向盐腔模块30内添加再生介质将更加方便。
结合前述，在一些示例中，盐腔模块30也可以具有入口和出口，盐腔接口451可以包括分别与盐腔模块30的入口和出口相连的两个接口。在另一些示例中，盐腔模块30具有进出口，盐腔接口451与进出口相接，也就是说，水流通过盐腔模块30的进出口进入到盐腔模块30，并溶解盐分后形成盐水，并回流至水路总成40以及树脂腔42内，以实现树脂的再生。
为了方便盐腔模块30投放再生介质，盐腔模块30还具有溢流口，在通入到盐腔模块30内的流体过量时，可以通过溢流口将流体送出。溢流接口461与溢流口相接。结合前述，尤其是在盐腔模块30仅通过进出口来实现流体的流入和流出时，通过设置溢流口可以避免流入到盐腔模块30的流量过大，影响树脂腔42的再生效果等。
另外，洗碗机100还包括耗材投放模块20，耗材投放模块20连接内胆10，耗材投放模块20用于耗材投放，耗材投放模块20内适于安装或放置耗材，并配置为用于向内胆10内投放耗材，以协助餐具等的清洗。
本申请中的耗材投放模块20和盐腔模块30可以设置于洗碗机100内的不同位置，例如，将耗材投放模块20和盐腔模块30中的一个设于洗碗机100的顶部、底部、侧部、背部或门体50上等不同的位置，可以根据实际需要对耗材投放模块20和盐腔模块30的位置进行调整。另外，本申请提供了一些耗材投放模块20和盐腔模块30的具体放置位置，当然，这并非是对本申请保护范围的限制。在本申请的一些实施例中，耗材投放模块20设于内胆10外侧，且至少部分设于内胆10的上方。
其中，耗材投放模块20和盐腔模块30可以在内胆10的上方左右并排设置。从而可以将盐腔模块30和耗材投放模块20设置在一起，方便洗碗机100的生产和维护，同时，进一步地提高了洗碗机100的空间利用率。另外，也可以将盐腔模块30与耗材投放模块20采用其他的排放方式。
在一些实施例中，水路总成40包括集成水路组件402和腔体部401，腔体部401和集成水路组件402连接，集成水路组件402设于内胆10的侧壁，腔体部401连接集成水路组件402并位于内胆的下方。通过集成水路组件402可以实现流体流入到耗材投放模块20和盐腔模块30，通过树脂腔42可以实现对流体的软化，从而可以优化洗碗机100清洗餐具的效果，优化洗碗机100的性能。
另外，结合前述，本申请中的水路总成40的上端设有盐腔接口451、溢流接口461、第一接口433和第二接口436，盐腔接口451、溢流接口461、第一接口433和第二接口436可以设于集成水路组件402的上端，内胆10的上方设有耗材投放模块和盐腔模块，其中，第一接口433和耗材投放模块之间设有沿上下方向延伸的第一连接管，第二接口436和耗材投放模块之间设有沿上下方向延伸的第二连接管；溢流接口461和盐腔模块之间设有沿上下方向延伸的第三连接管；盐腔接口451和盐腔模块之间设有沿上下方向延伸的第四连接管，第一连接管、第二连接管、第三连接管和第四连接管可以设为并排设置。
在一些实施例中，腔体部401的至少一部分设于内胆的下方。通过将腔体部401设于内胆的下方，可以减少腔体部401的空间占用，充分地利用内胆下方的空间，提高空间利用率。另外，腔体部401的下置，能够在一定程度上降低洗碗机100的重心，有利于提高洗碗机100的稳定性。
如图12，洗碗机100还可以包括门体50，门体50与内胆相连，并可打开和关闭洗涤腔101。门体50打开时，可以打开洗涤腔101，以方便向洗涤腔101内放入待清洗或待存放的餐具等；门体50关闭时，可以关闭洗涤腔101，以方便餐具在洗涤腔101内完成洗涤，其中，耗材投放模块20设置在洗涤总裁的上部，可以在门体50关闭时可以遮盖耗材投放模块20，在门体50打开时显露耗材投放模块20。
