[0020] See also Figure 1, which is a three-dimensional diagram of a self-cleaning dining table in the present application; Figure 1 It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application provides a self-cleaning dining table, including a support base 1, a dining table body 2 located above the support base 1, and a table top located at the top of the dining table body 2, wherein the support base 1 is used to support other components to provide stability and balance to the equipment, and the shape of the base can be square or round, and the size can be determined according to the size of the table top; a cavity is provided inside the dining table body 2 for collecting debris remaining on the table top and for washing the debris with cleaning liquid.

[0021] See also Figure 2 , which is a vertical cross-sectional view of a self-cleaning dining table of the present application; Figure 2 It can be seen that the table top is composed of two completely identical and oppositely arranged half table boards 41; in this embodiment, the shape of the table top is not limited, and it can be determined that the shape of the table top should be consistent with the shape of the dining table body 2 and can just cover the top of the dining table body 2; when the table top is square in shape, the half table board 41 is two rectangular boards of the same size, and when the table top is circular in shape, the half table board 41 is two semicircular boards of the same size.

[0022] One edge of the half table board 41 is rotatably connected to an edge of the top surface of the dining table body 2, so that the two half table boards 41 can rotate downward with this edge as the axis, and a strip-shaped hole is formed between the two half table boards 41, so that debris on the table top can fall into or be washed into the hole; when the table top is not cleaned, the opposite sides of the two half table boards 41 are tightly fitted to ensure the flatness of the table top and prevent leakage.

[0023] A support assembly is provided under the half table board 41; the position of the half table board 41 is controlled by the support assembly, and when the dining table is in normal use, the support assembly supports the half table board 41 to a horizontal position, and the two half table boards 41 are located on the same plane, providing support force for placing tableware; when the dining table needs to be cleaned, the support height of the support assembly gradually decreases, and the two half table boards 41 gradually rotate downward due to gravity, forming a cavity between each other, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning; when cleaning is completed, the support assembly gradually increases the support height, so that the half table boards 41 on both sides return to a horizontal position.

[0024] The self-cleaning dining table further comprises a cleaning component 3 mounted on the upper part of the dining table body 2; the cleaning component 3 is used to rinse the table surface with water, detergent and other cleaning substances. Since there are some solid debris on the table, cleaning the surface is to wash away the surface debris on the one hand, and to clean the oil stains of food adhering to the table on the other hand.

[0025] The cleaning component 3 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the dining table body 2; the slidable connection in this embodiment can be a lubricated connection or a track connection with a smaller connection thickness; the outer wall of the dining table body 2 is provided with a first cylinder 31, and the first cylinder 31 is connected to the lower end of the cleaning component 3 through a support column 32; the first cylinder 31 is used to control the cleaning component 3 to slide up and down on the outer wall of the dining table body 2. Specifically, when the dining table is in normal use, the first cylinder 31 should be in an initial state. At this time, the top surface of the cleaning component 3 should be flush with the top surface of the dining table body to achieve the requirement of not affecting the placement of tableware; when the tabletop needs to be cleaned, the first cylinder 31 provides an upward force to drive the support column 32 to lift the cleaning component 3, and make the bottom surface of the cleaning component 3 flush with the top surface of the dining table body 2, and maintain the supporting force during the tabletop cleaning process until the cleaning is completed, and the first cylinder 31 returns to its initial position.

[0026] A controller 38 is provided on one side of the cleaning component 3, and the controller 38 is used to control the cleaning process. The controller 38 is electrically connected to the first cylinder 31; the support component is electrically connected to the controller 38; during the cleaning process, when the controller 38 receives a cleaning instruction, it can control the support component to adjust the half table plate 41 to rotate downward, and at the same time control the first cylinder 31 to adjust the cleaning device 3 to rise to the set position, and then control the cleaning device 3 to complete the cleaning operation.

[0027] A filter rack 24 is provided between the dining table body 2 and the support base 1; the filter rack 24 is used to effectively separate solid debris and liquid sewage to prevent direct discharge into the sewage pipe causing blockage, or direct discharge into the garbage can which will greatly increase the weight of the garbage can; the filter rack 24 in this embodiment should be understood as a steel container with a certain structural strength and a certain area, the bottom surface of the container is a mesh structure, and the size of the mesh should be slightly smaller than that of a conventional sewer drainage mesh. When a certain amount of solid residue is collected in the filter rack 24 after the dining table has been cleaned several times, the filter rack 24 can be taken out for unified cleaning or the rack can be replaced.

[0028] A drain port 11 is provided on one side of the support base 1; the cleaned waste water can be directly discharged to the sewer pipe through the drain port 11.

[0029] It can be seen from the above technical solution that during the use of the self-cleaning dining table provided in the embodiment of the present application, the controller 38 executes the following steps to complete the control of the tabletop cleaning operation:

[0030] 1. When the controller 38 receives the control command, it starts the support assembly to retract downward, driving the half table board 41 to flip downward to form an inclined surface; at the same time, it starts the first cylinder 31 to push the cleaning assembly 3 upward;

[0031] The control instruction in this embodiment can be issued through an on button set on the controller, or can be issued by setting a signal receiver connected to the controller to receive an on signal sent by a remote terminal. The remote terminal can be a remote control, mobile phone, computer or wireless transmitter, etc.

[0032] Second, the controller 38 starts the cleaning component 3 to wash the inclined half table board 41;

[0033] 3. When the flushing is completed, the controller 38 stops the cleaning component 3, and starts the first cylinder 31 and the supporting component to control the cleaning component 3 and the half table board 41 to return to their original positions, and the cleaning is completed.

[0034] Further, as a feasible embodiment, the support assembly includes a second cylinder 21, a telescopic rod 22 and a support roller 23; the second cylinder 21 is fixed to the lower part of the dining table body 2; the top surface of the support roller 23 is adjacent to the bottom surface of the half table board 41; in order to ensure a certain supporting force, the support roller 23 has a certain width, preferably the width is 1 / 2 of the width of the half table board 41; the roller axis of the support roller 23 is connected to the second cylinder 21 through the telescopic rod 22; when the second cylinder 21 drives the telescopic rod 22 to move downward, the support roller 23 is always in contact with the bottom surface of the half table board 41 during the rolling process to provide supporting force; the second cylinder 21 is electrically connected to the controller 38.

[0035] See also Figure 3 , is a horizontal cross-sectional view of a cleaning component in a self-cleaning dining table of the present application;

[0036] See also Figure 4 , is another horizontal cross-sectional view of a cleaning component in a self-cleaning dining table of the present application;

[0037] Further, by Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that in one embodiment, the cleaning component 3 is a frame structure, which can be a square frame structure or a circular frame structure, depending on the shape of the outer frame of the upper part of the dining table body 2; a water pipeline 33 and a detergent pipeline 34 are provided inside the cleaning component 3; a plurality of water spray holes 331 and detergent nozzles 341 are provided on the inner wall of the cleaning component 3; the water spray holes 331 are connected to the water pipeline 33; the detergent nozzle 341 is connected to the detergent pipeline 34. In this embodiment, by setting up respective pipelines, the cleaning water and detergent can be evenly dispersedly sprayed on the surface of the dining table, so that a good cleaning effect can be achieved everywhere on the tabletop.

[0038] See also Figure 5 , is a partial three-dimensional structural diagram of a cleaning component in a self-cleaning dining table of the present application;

[0039] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that in one embodiment, the inlet end of the water pipe 33 is connected to the tap water pipe, and the inlet end of the water pipe 33 is provided with a first solenoid valve 36; the inlet end of the detergent pipe 34 is connected to the detergent bin 35 through a second solenoid valve 37; the first solenoid valve 36 and the second solenoid valve 37 are both electrically connected to the controller 38. In this embodiment, the solenoid valve used is not limited in its specific form, and the specific specifications can be determined according to the size of the desktop and the required flow rate of the cleaning liquid. Since the faster the flow rate of the water and detergent used for cleaning, the better the cleaning effect will be, but considering the factor of reducing waste, the selection of the solenoid valve should be based on a comprehensive consideration of the cleaning effect and economy.

[0040] Specifically, the control steps of the controller 38 for the cleaning component 3 during the cleaning process can be broken down into:

[0041] 1. When the cleaning component 3 reaches the designated position, the controller 38 first activates the first solenoid valve 36, and clean water is sprayed out from the water spray hole to flush the surface debris into the interior of the dining table body 2;

[0042] Second, the controller 38 closes the first solenoid valve 36 and opens the second solenoid valve 37 to spray the cleaning agent onto the surface of the half table plate 41 and allow the cleaning agent to fall naturally;

[0043] 3. The controller 38 closes the second solenoid valve 37 and opens the first solenoid valve 36 to continue spraying water onto the table;

[0044] 4. After the cleaning is completed, the controller 38 closes the first solenoid valve 36 and stops spraying water.

[0045] In this embodiment, the duration of the control process of the controller 38 can be set. For example, the first water spraying duration is set to 5 seconds, the first detergent spraying duration is set to 2 seconds, and the second water spraying duration is set to 10 seconds. Under the premise of ensuring the cleaning effect, the waste of water and detergent is minimized. The specific set time should be formulated according to cleaning experience and adjusted accordingly according to different meals.

[0046] Furthermore, the water spray hole 331 and the detergent nozzle 341 are both pressure nozzles. The purpose of using the pressure nozzle is that when the controller 38 opens the corresponding solenoid valve, a certain positive pressure will be generated in the pipeline. By selecting a pressure nozzle of appropriate specifications, water or detergent can be sprayed out when the solenoid valve is opened. Once the solenoid valve is closed, the positive pressure in the pipeline is 0, and water or detergent will no longer be sprayed out. On the one hand, after the solenoid valve is closed, no excess water and detergent will fall onto the desktop to pollute the desktop, and on the other hand, it can save cleaning water and detergent.

[0047] See also Figure 6 , is a schematic diagram of the local structure during the cleaning process;

[0048] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that the half table board 41 is provided with a fixed end 411 and a free end 412; the fixed end 411 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the dining table body 2; the water spray holes 331 and the detergent nozzles 341 are evenly distributed above the fixed end 411, so that the water and detergent used for cleaning can be moved from the uppermost end to the lowermost end of the half table board 41, ensuring that no omissions are left;

[0049] Correspondingly, in this embodiment, when the half table top 41 is a semicircular panel, within the semicircular circumference, above the inclined section where each point on the semicircle is located, a corresponding water spray hole 331 and a detergent nozzle are provided, which also ensures that no omissions are left during cleaning.

[0050] See also Figure 7 , is a horizontal cross-sectional view of a preferred example of a cleaning component in a self-cleaning dining table of the present application;

[0051] Depend on Figure 7 It can be seen that in a preferred embodiment, in order to make the cleaned desktop dry quickly, a drying device 39 is further provided inside the cleaning component 3. The drying device 39 is connected to a plurality of air inlet holes 392 through an air duct 391. The air inlet holes 392 are evenly distributed on both sides of the half table board 41. The drying device 39 is electrically connected to the controller 38. Therefore, in this embodiment, after closing the first solenoid valve 36 and stopping spraying water to the desktop, the controller 38 controls the cleaning component 3 and the supporting component to return to their positions, and can control the drying device 39 to perform a drying operation. Specifically, the drying device 39 generates heated gas and blows it to the surface of the half table board 41 through the air inlet holes 392 to accelerate the surface drying.

[0052] See also Figure 8 ,for Figure 7 Middle AA cross section.

[0053] Furthermore, the opening direction of the air inlet hole 392 is obliquely downward, which can ensure that the hot air can directly blow onto the surface of the half table plate 41, accelerate the gas flow, and speed up the drying speed.

[0054] Furthermore, in order to more conveniently remove the separated solid debris, a drain outlet 25 is provided at the lower portion of the dining table body 2; the drain outlet 25 is located on the outside of the filter rack 24, and the drain outlet 25 can be configured as a hand-pull door, and the specifications of the drain outlet 25 should be sufficient to remove the filter rack 24.
