[0044] See also Figure 1 A sink-type dishwasher 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes a cover plate 10, a cavity 20 and a nozzle 30. The cavity 20 is provided with a sink 21 and a through hole 22. The cover plate 10 is movably connected to the cavity 20. The top of the sink 21 is provided with an opening 23. The cover plate 10 is used to open and close the opening 23. The nozzle 30 is provided on the outer side of the cavity 20, and the nozzle 30 is connected to the sink 21 through the through hole 22.

[0045] Thus, in the sink-type dishwasher 100, when used for washing dishes, the cover plate 10 can close the opening 23. When used for the sink 21, the cover plate 10 can open the opening 23. Since the nozzle 30 is located on the outer side of the cavity 20, the nozzle 30 will not hinder the use of the sink 21, allowing the user to use the sink 21 more conveniently. Thus, the sink-type dishwasher 100 can reuse the sink 21 as a common sink 21 function and a washing cavity function, thereby preventing the sink-type dishwasher 100 from occupying too much kitchen space and improving the utilization rate of the kitchen space.

[0046] Specifically, the sink-type dishwasher 100 may be a kitchen appliance that integrates the functions of a dishwasher and a sink 21. The sink-type dishwasher 100 includes a cover plate 10, a cavity 20, and a nozzle 30. The cavity 20 is the main body of the sink-type dishwasher 100, and the cavity 20 is provided with a sink 21 and a through hole 22. The sink 21 can be used to accommodate tableware to be washed, and the sink 21 can provide a washing space for washing tableware, vegetables or meat. An opening 23 is provided at the top of the sink 21, so that the items to be washed can be put into the sink 21 from the opening 23.

[0047] The cover plate 10 is usually located on the top of the sink 21, and can be used to close and protect the washing space of the sink 21, and the cover plate 10 and the cavity 20 can be movably connected, so that the cover plate 10 can open and close the sink 21. Therefore, when the cover plate 10 closes the sink 21, the cover plate 10 can prevent water and food residues from splashing out of the sink 21, thereby keeping the kitchen space clean and hygienic, and can provide a certain sound insulation effect when the sink-type dishwasher 100 performs the dishwasher function.

[0048] The cavity 20 and the cover 10 are usually made of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials to ensure durability and easy cleaning. The design of the cavity 20 usually takes into account the layout of the water flow and the nozzle 30 to ensure that the water flow can evenly cover all the tableware to achieve the best cleaning effect. In addition, the cavity 20 may also be equipped with various racks, baskets or trays so that users can easily organize and place tableware.

[0049] The nozzle 30 can be arranged on the outer surface of the cavity 20, and the nozzle 30 can be connected to the water tank 21 through the through hole 22 opened on the water tank 21, and the through hole 22 can be opened on the bottom wall or the side wall of the water tank 21, so that the nozzle 30 can be arranged on the bottom wall of the water tank 21 or on the side wall of the water tank 21, and the cleaning liquid can be sprayed evenly on the tableware when the dishwasher function is used. Among them, the number of nozzles 30 can be designed to be multiple, and the water outlets of multiple sprayers can spray into the water tank 21 from different spray angles, so as to optimize the cleaning effect of the sink-type dishwasher 100. And the cleaning liquid can be clean water, so that the cleaning agent or cleaning block is manually or automatically added into the water tank 21, so that the clean water can be mixed with the cleaning agent or the cleaning block to clean the tableware; or the cleaning liquid can be clean water mixed with the cleaning agent, and the clean water mixed with the cleaning agent can be sprayed evenly on the tableware to clean the tableware.

[0050] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the cover plate 10 includes a retractable cover plate 11 , the cavity 20 includes a receiving cavity 24 , the retractable cover plate 11 is disposed in the receiving cavity 24 , and the retractable cover plate 11 can open and close the opening 23 .

[0051] Thus, compared with the flip-up cover 10, by setting the cover 10 to be retractable, the kitchen space occupied by the cover 10 can be reduced when used as a sink 21, thereby improving the utilization rate of the kitchen space.

[0052] Specifically, the cover plate 10 can be a retractable cover plate 11, and the retractable cover plate 11 can be arranged in the accommodating cavity 24 included in the cavity 20, so that the retractable cover plate 11 can open and close the opening 23 when moving. For example, the retractable cover plate 11 can be a rolling cover plate, by arranging the accommodating cavity 24 on one side of the cavity 20, and arranging the retractable cover plate 11 in the accommodating cavity 24, and being connected to the rolling cover plate through a reel, so that the rolling cover plate can be driven to move by the reel, so that the rolling cover plate can open and close the opening 23. The reel can wind and release the rolling cover plate manually or electrically, so that by arranging a slide rail in the accommodating cavity 24, the rolling partition can move along the slide rail under the drive of the rotating shaft, so that the rolling cover plate can extend out of or enter the accommodating cavity 24. When the rolling cover is needed to close the opening 23, the cover 10 is driven by the roller to unfold along the slide rail until the opening 23 is closed; when the rolling cover is needed to open the opening 23, the cover 10 is driven by the roller to shrink along the track until it is completely wound on the roller.

[0053] In some embodiments, the sink-type dishwasher 100 includes a first motor, and the first motor (not shown in the figure) can be connected to the retractable cover 11, so that the first motor can drive the retractable cover 11 to close and open the opening 23. For example, the retractable cover 11 can be a rolling cover, and by providing a receiving cavity 24 on one side of the cavity 20, and by providing the retractable cover 11 in the receiving cavity 24, the first motor can be connected to the rolling cover through a reel. The reel can be used to wind and release the rolling cover, so that by providing a slide rail in the receiving cavity 24, the rolling partition can be moved along the slide rail under the drive of the first motor, so that the rolling cover can extend out of or enter the receiving cavity 24. When the rolling cover is needed to close the opening 23, the first motor is started, and the cover 10 is driven to expand along the slide rail through the reel until the opening 23 is closed; when the rolling cover is needed to open the opening 23, the first motor works in the reverse direction, and the cover 10 is driven to shrink along the track through the reel until it is completely wound on the reel. In this way, the retractable cover 11 is driven by the first motor to open and close the opening 23, without manual operation, reducing errors, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the retractable cover 11 in the process of opening and closing the opening 23.

[0054] In some embodiments, the retractable cover 11 can manually open and close the opening 23. For example, the retractable cover 11 can be a rolling cover, and a slide rail and a handle are provided on the cavity 20, and the handle can be connected to the rolling partition, and the user holds the handle to pull the rolling partition along the slide rail, so that the rolling partition can open and close the opening 23.

[0056] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the under-sink dishwasher 100 includes a foldable basket 40 disposed in the sink 21 , and the foldable basket 40 can be folded and unfolded.

[0057] Thus, by setting the bowl basket to be foldable, when the sink-type dishwasher 100 is used as a sink 21, the bowl basket can be folded to prevent dirty water from getting on the bowl basket and keep the bowl basket clean. When the sink-type dishwasher 100 is used as a dishwasher, the bowl basket can be conveniently unfolded to store dirty bowls.

[0058] Specifically, the sink-type dishwasher 100 includes a foldable bowl basket 40, which can be arranged in the sink 21, and the foldable bowl basket 40 can be folded and unfolded in the sink 21 manually or automatically. Among them, the foldable bowl basket 40 is designed with a specific folding point or folding mechanism, which can enable the bowl basket to be transformed from an unfolded state to a folded state when needed, thereby saving space. The folding point may include structures such as hinges, buckles, and slide rails, which can ensure that the bowl basket can be folded and unfolded smoothly and smoothly during the folding process. In order to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the bowl basket in the unfolded state, the foldable bowl basket 40 is designed with a supporting structure, for example, the supporting structure includes a crossbeam, a longitudinal beam, or a reinforcing rib. The supporting structure can disperse the weight borne by the bowl basket to prevent it from being deformed or damaged due to excessive weight. When the foldable bowl basket 40 is unfolded, tableware or items such as vegetables and meat to be washed can be stored on the foldable bowl basket 40. After the items are taken away from the foldable bowl basket 40, the foldable bowl basket 40 can be folded.

[0059] In some embodiments, the sink-type dishwasher 100 includes a second motor (not shown in the figure). The foldable basket 40 can be connected to the second motor, so that the foldable basket 40 can perform extension and folding movements driven by the second motor. The foldable basket 40 can be arranged opposite to the nozzle 30, so that when the cover 10 closes the opening 23, the sink-type dishwasher 100 can perform the dishwasher function, and the second motor can control the foldable basket 40 to unfold; when the cover 10 opens the opening 23, the sink-type dishwasher 100 can perform the sink 21 function, and the second motor can control the foldable basket 40 to fold to prevent the basket from being contaminated by the washing water. In this way, the foldable basket 40 is driven to unfold and fold by the second motor, without manual operation, and can respond to operation instructions quickly, thereby improving the automation of the sink-type dishwasher 100.
