Benefits of technology
The present invention is about a self-cleaning sink that has water spray injectors on the inside of the sink to clean it. There are also conduits to carry a cleaning liquid from a reservoir to the water spray injectors. The sink has an actuator to divert water from a faucet to the water spray injectors. The self-cleaning sink also has an activation control to pump a predefined amount of cleaning liquid through the water spray injectors. The self-cleaning sink also has a holder for holding the cleaning liquid reservoir and the water spray injectors are distributed under the upper rim of the sink to deliver pressurized water all over the inner bowl of the sink. The cleaning liquid from the reservoir is mixed with the pressurized water delivered to the inner bowl of the sink for rinsing off stains and debris.
Problems solved by technology
One of the common problem with the conventional sink is the debris or stain left on the inner surface the sink after use.
Often the faucet doesn't provide a sufficient way to clean the sink, especially the inner surface of the sink, so one must splash water with their hand, wipe the sink clean with a cloth or a paper towel in order to clean the entire sink.
In certain cases, detachable type faucets are used for cleaning the sinks by spraying pressurized water through spray jets, but involves less cleaning efficiency and manual directing of faucets.
In addition, sinks are also developed with electric pumps to spray water thus eliminating the need for faucets, however these sinks are needed to be sufficiently filled with water and cannot remove tough stains from sink surface.

The present invention relates to a self-cleaning sink, comprising a plurality of water spray injectors distributed on inner surface under an upper rim of the sink for delivering pressurized water to an inner bowl of the sink and a plurality of conduits connecting a reservoir containing a cleaning liquid to the sink. The sink further comprises an activation control operable for pumping a specific quantity of the cleaning liquid through one or more of the conduits and mixing with pressurized water delivered via the plurality of water spray injectors for cleaning the inner bowl of the sink.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to a sink or wash basin used in kitchen or bathroom and more specifically relates to a self-cleaning sink equipped with an apparatus for easy rinsing of the sink inner surface by actuating a lever or a button.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Sinks are commonly used in kitchen, bathroom, utility, and commercial applications for washing and cleaning. Various types and styles of sinks have achieved widespread application in residential and commercial markets. Typically, a sink comprises a faucet attached to a wash bowl like fixture comprising a drain which can be closed or opened using a drain plug. One of the common problem with the conventional sink is the debris or stain left on the inner surface the sink after use. Often the faucet doesn't provide a sufficient way to clean the sink, especially the inner surface of the sink, so one must splash water with their hand, wipe the sink clean with a cloth or a paper towel ...
