[0025] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] Dishwashers can automatically clean dishes, dry and disinfect them after washing. Dishwashers can not only free people from complicated physical labor, but also improve hygiene standards and quality of life, so dishwashers have gradually entered thousands of households. However, dishwashers also have a series of problems that cannot be ignored, such as: dishwashers are large in size, take up too much kitchen space, are not easy to carry and use; the number of dishes that a dishwasher can wash at a time is limited, the time cycle for washing dishes is long, and it consumes more energy, etc.

[0027] Therefore, in order to solve the technical problem mentioned above that the dishwasher is not convenient to carry and use due to its large size, the present invention proposes a self-cleaning container, comprising:

[0028] A cleaning base 1, the top of the cleaning base is open, and the inner wall of the cleaning base is provided with at least one water outlet 11;

[0029] An inner tank 2, which is detachably mounted in the opening of the cleaning base 1, and a water storage chamber 4 is formed between the outer wall of the inner tank and the inner wall of the cleaning base;

[0030] The flushing assembly 3 is used to change the volume of the water storage chamber 4 so that the water in the water storage chamber flows out from the water outlet to flush the inner tank.

[0031] The inner liner of the self-cleaning container proposed by the present invention is used to hold food. When the inner liner needs to be cleaned after use, it can be placed in a cleaning base filled with water, and the flushing component introduces the water in the cleaning base into the inner liner to clean the inner liner. The entire self-cleaning container has a simple structure, a small volume, and is easy to carry and use. It can be automatically cleaned only by the cooperation of several parts, and is easy to produce and use.

[0032] The principle and structure of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cleaning base 1 of the self-cleaning container proposed by the present invention has a bowl-shaped appearance, and the top of the cleaning base is open, and the top opening extends downward to form a cavity, which is used to hold water for cleaning the inner tank. After the cavity is filled with water (the water level reaches the preset threshold water level), the inner tank is fixed in this cavity. Because the volume of the inner tank is smaller than the volume of the cavity, there is a gap between the outer wall of the inner tank and the cavity wall when the inner tank is fixed on the cleaning base. This gap is the water storage cavity 4. That is, a water storage cavity is formed between the outer wall of the inner tank and the inner wall of the cleaning base. At the same time, a plurality of water outlets 11 are provided at the top of the cleaning base 1, and an extremely thin water pipe (with a pipe diameter not exceeding 0.1mm) is provided on the cleaning base. One end of the water pipe is connected to the water in the central cavity of the cleaning base, and the other end is connected to the water outlet. When the inner tank 2 is fixed on the cleaning base 1, the volume of the water storage cavity 4 is changed by the flushing component 3, so that the water level in the water storage cavity rises, and the water flows out of the water outlet 11 through the water pipe and flows into the inner tank. Because the water pipe is extremely thin, the outflowing water flow is also extremely thin and has a greater impact force, so the water flow can rinse the inner tank clean.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the flushing component 3 that can change the volume of the water storage chamber is: a first electrode sheet 31 arranged on the inner wall of the cleaning base, and a second electrode sheet 32 ​​arranged on the outer wall of the inner tank. The controller 6 arranged on the cleaning base can control the type of charge carried by the first electrode sheet 31 and the second electrode sheet 32, so as to control the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet to repel or attract each other. Because the flushing component needs to change the volume of the water storage chamber, the flushing component in this embodiment must also meet the requirements that the inner wall of the cleaning base (the wall of the water storage chamber) and the inner tank are made of flexible materials. Therefore, when the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet carry different charges, the inner wall of the cleaning base and the outer wall of the inner tank will squeeze each other, thereby reducing the volume of the water storage chamber and allowing the water in the water storage chamber to flow out smoothly to flush the inner tank. After the flushing is completed, the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet are charged with the same charge, then the inner wall of the cleaning base and the outer wall of the inner tank will separate from each other and return to their original state. At this time, the volume of the water storage chamber increases, the water level drops, and the water in the water storage chamber stops flowing out.

[0035] In addition, in order to ensure that the inner tank is clean, the present invention also provides a detection component for detecting the cleanliness of the inner tank. The detection component is connected to the controller 6 and feeds back the cleanliness of the inner tank to the controller. When the inner tank is clean, the controller 6 will control the flushing component 3 to stop working. Specifically, in this embodiment, the detection component is a plurality of resistivity sensors arranged on the inner wall of the inner tank. The resistivity sensor will detect the resistivity on the inner wall of the inner tank. When there are impurities on the inner tank that are not cleaned properly (low cleanliness), the resistivity will increase, so the controller can know whether the inner tank is cleaned properly by the resistivity of the inner wall of the inner tank.

[0036] In addition, in order to discharge the sewage during the cleaning process, a sewage chamber 5 is provided below the water storage chamber 4. The sewage chamber and the water storage chamber are independent. A vertical water outlet channel is provided at the bottom of the water storage chamber. The water outlet channel is connected to the water storage chamber, and the water in the water storage chamber will not flow out of the water outlet channel. At the same time, a first switch valve 7 is provided on the inner tank, and a second switch valve 8 is provided on the sewage chamber. The first switch valve 7, the second switch valve 8 and the controller 6 are connected. Figure 3 As shown, when flushing the inner tank, the first switch valve and the second switch valve are opened, so that the inner tank and the sewage chamber are connected through the water outlet channel, that is, the sewage in the inner tank can flow into the sewage chamber through the first switch valve, the water outlet channel, and the second switch valve. The sewage chamber can be taken out of the cleaning base to pour out the sewage, or a valve is provided at the bottom of the sewage chamber, and the valve is opened to pour out the sewage.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet are insulating metal films that can withstand high pressure, and the inner wall and the inner tank of the cleaning base are made of insulating materials, and the inner tank and the cleaning base are threadedly connected. At the same time, in other embodiments, the sewage chamber may not be provided, so that the sewage can flow out of the cleaning base directly from the first switch valve and the water outlet channel. In this embodiment, the first electrode sheet is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning base, and in other embodiments, the inner wall of the entire cleaning base can also be provided as the first electrode sheet.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
