This application is a 371 of International Patent Application No. PCT/CN2017/118340, filed Dec. 25, 2017, entitled “Air Exhausting Device for Kitchenware, Dishwasher, and Kitchenware,” which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201710485888.6 (application publication number CN107348928A), filed on Jun. 23, 2017, and entitled “Air Exhausting Device and Dishwasher with the Air Exhausting Device” contents of both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
Some embodiments of the present disclosure relates to an air exhausting device for kitchenware, a dishwasher, and kitchenware.
Tableware is usually required to be dried after being cleaned by a dishwasher. Some of existing dishwashers use waste heat to dry the tableware, and some of the existing dishwashers use an additional drying system to dry the tableware. The drying system may be an air exhausting device through which humid air inside the dishwasher is discharged to the outside for purposes for drying the dishwasher. An air outlet port of the air exhausting device is usually located at a lower end of a dishwasher door, and the height of the air outlet port is fixed. Users of semi-embedded and fully-embedded dishwashers may install a wooden board on the dishwasher according to the preference. But since the semi-embedded and fully-embedded dishwashers usually need to be installed in conjunction with cabinets, and the height of skirting boards of different cabinets is different, this air exhausting device with a height-fixed air outlet port is not suitable for installing different cabinets.
The accompanying drawings described herein are used to provide a further understanding of the present disclosure, and constitute a part of the present application, and the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure and the description thereof are used to explain the present disclosure, but do not constitute improper limitations to the present disclosure.
