The air duct 3 is located in the housing 1 and is defined by air duct walls 31. The air duct walls 31 may be formed by side walls of the housing 1 or may be provided separately in the housing 1. The air duct 3 is connected with the air inlet space 2A of the impeller 2, the first air outlet k1 and the second air outlet k2, and after the hot humid gas and the dry humid gas are mixed in the air inlet space 2A, the hot humid gas and the dry humid gas flow along the air duct 3 and form low-humidity gas and high-humidity gas, wherein the low-humidity gas is output by the first air outlet k1, and the high-humidity gas is output by the second air outlet k2.

As for the arrangement number and distribution positions of the inertia separation bending parts 3-2A of the inertia separation section 3-2, comprehensive consideration needs to be carried out according to the length of the air duct 3, the water-vapor separation amount requirement and other factors.

In order to further enhance the separation effect of the inertial separation section 3-2 on the moisture in the mixed gas, in this embodiment, a wire mesh structure (not shown in the figure) is arranged in the inertial separation section 3-2, the specific setting position of the wire mesh structure is located in the middle flow channel in the inertial separation section 3-2, the solid area of contact between the inertial separation section 3-2 and the mixed gas is increased by the setting of the wire mesh structure, so that the moisture of the mixed gas is trapped when the mixed gas flows through the wire mesh structure, the moisture separation of the gas and the moisture is realized, the overall moisture content of the mixed gas is reduced, the moisture content of the low-humidity gas flowing back into the liner can be further reduced, and the mixed gas has a better drying effect.

Referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the inner side of the duct wall 31 is provided with an inner peripheral wall 32 spaced therefrom, and the water-vapor separation structure includes a plurality of water removal openings 32a, the water removal openings 32a being spaced apart along the extending direction of the inner peripheral wall 32. The water-vapor separation structure of the present embodiment is at least disposed on the inner wall 32 corresponding to the volute section 3-1 and the inner wall 32 corresponding to the outer bend of the inertial separation bending portion 3-2A. The hot and humid gases and the dry gases are pumped into the air inlet space under the centrifugal action to form mixed gases, and are thrown out to the volute section 3-1, firstly, the mixed gases form flowing water drops on the inner peripheral wall 32 of the volute section 3-1, and the flowing water drops enter the drainage channel 3A through the water removal port 32a, so that the water-vapor separation effect of the volute section 3-1 on the mixed gases is formed. The mixed gas flows along the air duct 3, and when flowing through the inertial separation section 3-2, particularly the inertial separation bending part 3-2A, under the action of inertia, the mixed gas forms flowing water drops on the inner peripheral wall 32 corresponding to the outer bending of the inertial separation bending part 3-2A, and enters the water drainage channel 3A through the water removal port 32A, so that the water-vapor separation effect of the inertial separation section 3-2 on the mixed gas is formed. In the case where the moisture content of the hot and humid gas is large, the water droplets form a thin and flowing film of water on the inner peripheral wall 32, and can be continuously discharged from the water discharge port 32a into the water discharge passage 3A.

In the present embodiment, the drain 3A is communicated with the exhaust section 3-4, and water droplets entering the drain 3A through the dewatering port 32a finally flow into the exhaust section 3-4 and are discharged together with the high-humidity gas, so as to solve the problem of the treatment of separated water after the water-vapor separation. Because exhaust section 3-4 is arranged outside the dish washer inner bag, consequently under the continuous effect of steam separator of this embodiment, the moisture content in the dish washer inner bag can obtain gradually reducing, is favorable to whole internal environment stoving effect and the efficiency in the dish washer inner bag.

In the water-vapor separation device of this embodiment, through an inside-outside double-suction air intake mode and through an inside-outside double-discharge mode, an inside-outside double-circulation air path route is realized, and for the double-suction air intake mode, referring to fig. 4 and 5 of fig. 5, in this embodiment, a wet air intake duct 4 and an air intake duct 5 are disposed in a casing 1, an inlet of the wet air intake duct 4 and an inlet of the air intake duct 5 respectively form a first air inlet d1 and a second air inlet d2, and an outlet of the wet air intake duct 4 and an outlet of the air intake duct 5 respectively correspond to two sides of an impeller 2, that is, wet hot air and dry air respectively enter into an air intake space 2A inside the impeller 2 from two sides of the impeller 2, and it should be noted that two sides of the impeller 2 are two virtual sides defined by the shape of the impeller 2 are not real sides. The moisture inlet duct 4 and the air inlet duct 5 are each of a flattened structure and are spaced apart in the thickness direction of the housing 1, so that the size of the volume occupied by the housing 1 can be compressed, facilitating the spatial layout on assembly.

Referring to fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the wet air inlet 4 has an air guide bend 41, and the air guide bend 41 is located at a higher level than the first air inlet d1, so that it is difficult for washing water to pass through the air guide bend 41 during washing of the dishwasher liner, and thus flow into the air inlet space 2A in the impeller 2 along the wet air inlet 4, and the washing water is prevented from flowing into the air duct 3.

In this embodiment, along the flowing direction of the air in the wet air inlet 4, the wet air inlet 4 has two air inlet bending parts 42 with the same turning direction, the air guide bend 41 is located between the two air inlet bending parts 42, and the two air inlet bending parts 42 arranged at the upstream and downstream of the air guide bend 41 increase the bending number of the wet air inlet 4, so as to further improve the difficulty of the washing water entering the air duct 3.
