Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fruit, vegetable and tableware washing, and in particular to a kitchen washing machine. Background Art
[0002] As we all know, there are pesticide residues on the surface of food on the market. If they are not cleaned properly, it will cause great harm to people's health. As people's requirements for food safety are getting higher and higher, fruit and vegetable washing machines are kitchen appliances that are gradually becoming popular. The fruit and vegetable washing machines on the market are not only used to wash fruits and vegetables, but also can be used to wash seafood such as shellfish, shortening the time for preparing and cooking, making people's lives increasingly convenient.
[0003] For example, in the Chinese invention patent application with patent number CN202010900533.0 (publication number CN112095721A), a cleaning basket and a sink using the cleaning basket are disclosed. The cleaning basket includes a cleaning basket body with a washing chamber, and the cleaning basket body has a flow channel extending from the bottom to the side, and a spray hole is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning basket body for spraying water in the flow channel. A concave circular water drawing area is provided at the bottom of the cleaning basket body, and the water drawing area is connected with the flow channel. An impeller for pumping water from the bottom of the cleaning basket body into the flow channel is provided in the water drawing area. The impeller rotates to draw water from the bottom of the cleaning basket into the flow channel on the side of the cleaning basket, and further sprays the fruits, vegetables or dishes in the cleaning basket through the spray hole, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0004] This patent is about drawing water from the sink into the washing basket from the bottom of the washing basket to wash the items in the washing basket. If the sink is not clean, the water drawn into the washing basket by the impeller is also not clean, which will affect the washing of fruits and vegetables. In addition, a faucet is usually provided on the top wall of the sink. When the washing basket is taken out, water is injected into the sink so that the sink can be used alone. However, the faucet cannot inject water into the washing basket, so the washing basket needs to be equipped with an impeller, resulting in more parts involved. Summary of the invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a kitchen cleaning machine with a water supply pipe capable of injecting water into a water tank and injecting water into a cleaning basket in view of the current status of the prior art.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a kitchen cleaning machine, comprising
[0007] A sink having an interior cavity open at the top;
[0008] A washing basket, which is detachably disposed in the sink and is used for washing items;
[0009] Characterized in that a water inlet is provided on the top of the cleaning basket, and the cleaning machine also includes
[0010] The water supply pipe is partially located on the top wall of the water tank. When the cleaning basket is placed in the water tank, the water outlet of the water supply pipe faces the water inlet of the cleaning basket. When the cleaning basket is taken out of the water tank, the water outlet of the water supply pipe faces the inner cavity of the water tank.
[0011] In order to facilitate the water supply pipe to inject water into the cleaning basket, the height of the water outlet of the water supply pipe is higher than the height of the water inlet of the cleaning basket.
[0012] Preferably, the water outlet is in the form of a cone with a diameter gradually decreasing along the direction of water flow, so as to increase the pressure of the jet water flow.
[0013] Preferably, the end face of the water supply pipe with the water outlet is called the water outlet end face, and the water outlet end face extends along the side wall of the sink to have a certain length, and the water outlets are multiple and extend along the length direction of the water outlet end face. In this way, the water sprayed from the water outlet is waterfall-like, with a large spraying area and a fast water filling speed; in addition, because the spraying area of the water supply pipe is large, when the washing basket is removed from the sink and the user manually washes the items, the water flow has a good cleaning effect on wider items such as cutting boards and leafy vegetables, and the cleaning efficiency is high.
[0014] In order to make the water flow evenly to each water outlet, the water supply pipe includes a pipe body and a water collecting part arranged in sequence along the direction of the water flow, a water collecting cavity is formed inside the water collecting part, the inside of the pipe body and the water collecting cavity are connected through a water outlet, and the water outlet end surface is the wall surface of the inner cavity of the water collecting part facing the water tank. In this way, after the water flows out of the pipe body, it will gather in the water collecting cavity and then flow out from each water outlet.
[0015] In order to further make the water flow evenly to each water outlet, the water outlet faces the water outlet end surface, the water collection chamber is provided with a guide plate facing the water outlet, there is a distance between the guide plate and the water outlet, and the guide plate is provided with a through hole that penetrates the wall thickness. When water hits the guide plate, it can be evenly dispersed to the entire water collection chamber under the blocking effect of the guide plate, so as to prevent water from being sprayed only from the water outlet facing the through hole on the guide plate.
[0016] In order to adapt the water outlet of the water supply pipe to different usage scenarios, the water outlet faces the water outlet end surface, a diverter plate is embedded in the water outlet, a first diverter hole and a second diverter hole are provided on the diverter plate, the first diverter hole and one of the water outlets are connected through a water outlet pipe, the area of the water outlet connected to the water outlet pipe is larger than the area of any other water outlet, a baffle plate that can move relative to the baffle plate is provided at the diverter plate, and the baffle plate can move to a first position, a second position and a third position under the action of a driving member;
[0017] When the baffle is in the first position, the first diversion hole is fully opened and the second diversion hole is shielded by the baffle; the water flow is large and the water injection speed is fast.
[0018] When the baffle is in the second position, the first diversion hole is shielded by the baffle, and the second diversion hole is fully opened;
[0019] When the baffle is in the third position, the first diversion hole is partially shielded by the baffle, and the second diversion hole is partially shielded by the baffle. In both the second and third positions, the water outflow is relatively dispersed and has a certain width, which is suitable for hand washing leafy vegetables or cutting boards, etc. The water outflow in the second position is smaller than the water outflow in the third position.
[0020] In order to make the baffle cooperate with the diverter plate, so that the baffle can have different water discharge conditions when it is in different positions, the baffle is arranged close to the diverter plate, and the baffle can rotate around its axis under the action of the driving member, and the baffle is provided with a first water through hole and a second water through hole penetrating the wall thickness thereof, the second water through hole is located at the periphery of the first water through hole, and the second diverter hole is located at the periphery of the first diverter hole;
[0021] When the baffle is in the first position, the first water passage hole and the first diversion hole are connected to each other, and the second water passage hole and the second diversion hole are staggered;
[0022] When the baffle is in the second position, the first water passage hole and the first diversion hole are staggered, and the second water passage hole and the second diversion hole are correspondingly connected;
[0023] When the baffle is in the third position, the first water through hole and the first diversion hole are partially staggered, and the second water through hole and the second diversion hole are partially staggered.
[0024] Preferably, the water collecting part can be extended or retracted toward or away from the inner cavity of the sink, and the water pipe can also be extended or retracted along its length direction, so that the water outlet angle of the water outlet is adjustable. When the water pressure is low, a smaller water outlet angle can be adjusted to make the water outlet direction of the water outlet spray farther in the horizontal direction; when the water pressure is high, a larger water outlet angle can be adjusted to make the water outlet direction of the water outlet spray more obliquely downward. This is beneficial for supplying water to the top cover of the washing basket without spraying it to the outside of the top cover; secondly, it is beneficial for users to use it more flexibly to wash items of different sizes and positions.
[0025] Preferably, the water collecting part can be extended toward or away from the inner cavity of the sink, so that the water outlet angle of the water outlet is adjustable. When the water pressure is low, the water outlet angle can be adjusted to a smaller one, so that the water outlet direction of the water outlet sprays farther in the horizontal direction; when the water pressure is high, the water outlet angle can be adjusted to a larger one, so that the water outlet direction of the water outlet sprays more obliquely downward. This is beneficial for supplying water to the top cover of the washing basket without spraying it to the outside of the top cover; secondly, it is beneficial for users to use it to more flexibly wash items of different sizes and positions.
[0026] The top opening of the cleaning basket can be directly used as a water inlet, but when the cleaning basket is working, the items in it are easily thrown out, so the cleaning basket includes a basket body with an open top and a top cover covering the top opening of the basket body, the top cover is movably arranged on the basket body to open or close the top opening of the basket body, and the water inlet is arranged on the top cover. The top cover can prevent the items in the basket body from being thrown out.
[0027] Preferably, the top cover is partially concave to form a sink, and the water inlet is arranged on the sink. The sink serves to collect water, and water from the water supply pipe is sprayed into the sink of the top cover, and then enters the basket body from the water inlet. Otherwise, if the sink is not arranged, some water will flow to other places.
[0028] In order to allow the water accumulated in the trough to flow smoothly to the water inlet, one solution is: the water inlet is arranged on the peripheral wall of the trough, and the upper surface of the bottom wall of the trough is inclined from top to bottom toward the water inlet to guide the water toward the water inlet.
[0029] In order to allow the water accumulated in the sink to flow smoothly to the water inlet, another solution is: the water inlet is arranged in the central part of the bottom wall of the sink, and the upper surface of the bottom wall of the sink is inclined downward from the peripheral edge toward the water inlet.
[0030] Preferably, the top cover is provided with a shield plate above the water inlet. The shield plate can be used as a handle to facilitate opening or closing the top cover, and secondly, it can shield the water inlet to prevent the water in the basket or the washed items from splashing from the water inlet.
[0031] Preferably, at least part of the peripheral wall of the sink is a flexible structure that can be extended and retracted in the up and down directions. In this way, when the water pressure is high, the sink can be pressed down to adjust the depth, and when the water pressure is low, it can be raised to adjust the shallowness, ensuring that water is not easy to splash out under different water pressures. Secondly, when the amount of fruits and vegetables to be washed in the washing basket is small, the sink is pressed down to reduce the space in the basket body, which can effectively prevent the centrifugal splashing of small-particle fruits and vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, blueberries, and strawberries, thereby improving the washing effect.
[0032] One structural form of the top cover is that the top cover is rotatably connected to the basket body, and the top opening of the basket body serves as a feed inlet.
[0033] Another structural form of the top cover is: the top cover includes a body and a cover plate, the body is connected to the basket body, the middle of the body has a central hole penetrating its wall thickness as a feed inlet, the cover plate movable cover is arranged at the central hole, and can open or close the central hole.
[0034] In order to enable the cover plate to open or close the center hole, one method is: the cover plate is placed on the main body, and the center hole also serves as a water inlet. The center hole can be opened or closed by simply lifting or lowering the cover plate, and the structure is relatively simple.
[0035] In order to enable the cover plate to open or close the center hole, another method is: the cover plate is connected to the body through a rotating shaft extending in the horizontal direction, and the cover plate maintains a tendency to close the center hole under the action of the elastic member, and the water inlet is provided in the central part of the cover plate. By applying force to the cover plate to rotate the cover plate, the center hole can be opened; when the external force applied to the cover plate disappears, the cover plate can close the center hole under the action of the elastic member.
[0036] In order to facilitate observation of the situation in the basket, the cover plate is a transparent cover plate.
[0037] In order to improve the cleaning effect, the basket body includes an outer basket and an inner basket rotatably arranged in the outer basket, the top cover is connected to the outer basket, the outer basket and the inner basket are both open at the top, the side wall and / or the bottom wall of the inner basket are provided with a drain port, and the sink is arranged corresponding to the inner basket. Water and fruits and vegetables in the inner basket perform centrifugal motion with the inner basket to achieve cleaning of the fruits and vegetables, and the inner basket can rotate under the action of a driving member such as a motor.
[0038] The water and fruits and vegetables inside the inner basket make centrifugal motion under the action of the rotation of the inner basket, and then move up along the inner wall of the inner basket. In this process, the fruits and vegetables collide and rub against the water, and the fruits and vegetables collide and rub against the inner wall of the inner basket to achieve cleaning. In order to reduce the collision loss of water, the lower wall of the top cover is provided with guide ribs at the part around the sinking platform. The guide ribs are arc-shaped, and the extension direction of the guide ribs is the same as or opposite to the rotation direction of the inner basket. The water flow splashing upwards can effectively reduce the impact loss under the guidance of the ribs, maintain a high water pressure to spray downward, rinse the upper surface of the fruits and vegetables, and improve the cleaning effect. In addition, the outer diameter of the sinking platform is smaller than the inner diameter of the top edge of the inner basket, leaving a guide space.
[0039] Preferably, there are multiple guide ribs which are arranged in sequence and at intervals along the circumference of the sink, which has a good guide effect and is more beautiful.
[0040] It would be troublesome to manually move the cleaning basket out to drain the water therein after cleaning is completed, so the cleaning basket is provided with a drain port for draining the water therein, and the bottom wall of the sink is partially recessed to form a recessed area, the drain port is connected to the recessed area, and a drain port penetrating the bottom wall of the sink is provided in the recessed area, so that the water discharged from the drain port enters the recessed area and then flows out from the drain port, thereby preventing the water or debris flowing out of the cleaning basket from flowing to other parts of the sink, making it inconvenient to clean.
[0041] Preferably, the bottom of the cleaning basket is provided with legs, which are placed in the concave area. The arrangement of the legs allows a gap between the bottom of the cleaning basket and the bottom wall of the concave area, which is convenient for drainage. As long as the cleaning basket is placed on or taken out of the sink, the cleaning basket can be detached from the sink.
[0042] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: the water supply pipe of the present invention is partially located on the top wall of the sink, and when the washing basket is placed in the sink, the water outlet of the water supply pipe faces the water inlet of the washing basket. At this time, the water supply pipe can supply water to the washing basket to wash the items in the washing basket, such as vegetables, tableware, etc., without relying on the water in the sink, so whether the sink is clean or not will not affect the washing effect of the washing basket; when the washing basket is taken out of the sink, the water outlet of the water supply pipe faces the inner cavity of the sink, and the water supply pipe can supply water to the sink for washing items such as pots and pans, or cleaning the sink, etc., that is, one water supply pipe is provided to simultaneously realize water supply to the washing basket and the sink, and the structure is streamlined.

[0066] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0067] Example 1
[0068] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the kitchen cleaning machine of this preferred embodiment includes a sink 1 , a cleaning basket A and a water supply pipe 2 .
[0069] The sink 1 has an inner cavity 11 with an open top. A cleaning basket A is detachably disposed in the sink 1 for cleaning objects, such as fruits and vegetables, tableware, etc. In this embodiment, the cleaning basket A is used for cleaning fruits and vegetables.
[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, a water inlet 31 is provided at the top of the washing basket A, and the water supply pipe 2 is partially located on the top wall of the sink 1. When the washing basket A is placed in the sink 1, the water outlet 21 of the water supply pipe 2 faces the water inlet 31 of the washing basket A, that is, the water inlet 31 of the washing basket A is located on the flow path of the water flowing out of the water outlet 21 of the water supply pipe 2, and the height of the water outlet 21 of the water supply pipe 2 is higher than the height of the water inlet 31 of the washing basket A. At this time, the water supply pipe 2 can supply water to the washing basket A to wash the items in the washing basket A; when the washing basket A is taken out of the sink 1, the water outlet 21 of the water supply pipe 2 faces the inner cavity 11 of the sink 1, and the water supply pipe 2 can supply water to the sink 1 for washing items such as pots and pans, or cleaning the sink 1, etc., that is, the water supply pipe 2 can simultaneously realize water supply to the washing basket A and the sink 1, and the structure is simple.
[0071] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the cleaning basket A includes a basket body and a top cover 3. The top opening of the basket body serves as a feed port. The top cover 3 is arranged on the top opening of the basket body. One side of the top cover 3 is rotatably connected to the basket body through a rotating shaft extending in a horizontal direction, so that the top cover 3 is movably arranged on the basket body to open or close the top opening of the basket body. During the cleaning process, the top cover 3 closes the top opening of the basket body to prevent items in the basket body from being thrown out.
[0072] The top cover 3 is partially concave to form a sink 32, and the water inlet 31 is set on the peripheral wall 323 of the sink 32. The sink 32 plays a role in collecting water. The water from the water supply pipe 2 is sprayed into the sink 32 of the top cover 3, and then enters the basket body from the water inlet 31. Otherwise, if the sink 32 is not set, some water will flow to other places.
[0073] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the bottom wall 321 of the sink 32 is inclined from top to bottom toward the water inlet 31 to guide the water toward the water inlet 31. The top cover 3 is provided with a shield 322 shielding the top of the water inlet 31. The shield 322 can be used as a handle to facilitate opening or closing the top cover 3, and secondly, it can shield the water inlet 31 to prevent the water in the basket or the washed items from splashing out from the water inlet 31.
[0074] The basket body includes an outer basket 4 and an inner basket 5 rotatably arranged in the outer basket 4. The inner basket 5 can rotate around its own axis under the action of a driving member 50 such as a motor. The top cover 3 is rotatably connected to the outer basket 4. The outer basket 4 and the inner basket 5 are both open at the top, and a drain port 51 is provided on the side wall and / or the bottom wall of the inner basket 5. The outer basket 4 has a drain port 41 for draining the water therein. The drain port 41 is provided with a solenoid valve or other valve that can open or close it. When cleaning, the drain port 41 is closed, and the water and the fruits and vegetables in the inner basket 5 move centrifugally with the inner basket 5 to achieve cleaning of the fruits and vegetables; after cleaning, the inner basket 5 stops rotating, and the drain port 41 is opened for drainage. This part of the structure of the basket body can adopt the existing technology, which will not be repeated here.
[0075] The sink 32 is disposed corresponding to the inner basket 5 to limit the space in the inner basket 5 .
[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom wall of the sink 1 is partially recessed to form a recessed area 12, in which a drain port 13 penetrating the bottom wall of the sink 1 is provided, and a drain port 41 is connected to the recessed area 12, so that water discharged from the drain port 41 enters the recessed area 12 and then flows out from the drain port 13, thereby preventing water or debris flowing out of the cleaning basket A from flowing to other parts of the sink 1, making it inconvenient to clean.
[0077] The bottom of the outer basket 4 is provided with a support leg 42, which is placed in the concave area 12, and the bottom of the support leg 42 is provided with a flexible material. The provision of the support leg 42 allows a gap between the bottom of the cleaning basket A and the bottom wall of the concave area 12, which is convenient for drainage. As long as the cleaning basket A is placed or moved out of the sink 1, the cleaning basket A can be detached from the sink 1.
[0078] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the end face of the water supply pipe 2 provided with the water outlet 21 is called the water outlet end face 22. The water outlet end face 22 extends along the side wall of the water tank 1 to have a certain length. There are multiple water outlets 21 and they extend along the length direction of the water outlet end face 22. Each water outlet 21 is a conical surface with a gradually decreasing diameter along the direction of the water flow, which is used to pressurize the jet water flow.
[0079] The water sprayed from the water outlet 21 is in a waterfall-like manner with a certain width, with a large spraying area and a fast water filling speed. Moreover, because the spraying area of the water supply pipe 2 is large, when the washing basket A is removed from the sink 1 and the user manually washes the items, the water flow has a good cleaning effect on wider items such as cutting boards and leafy vegetables, and the cleaning efficiency is high. In addition, the length of the arrangement of the multiple water outlets 21 is smaller than the inner diameter of the sink 32 to avoid water spraying outside the washing basket A and causing waste.
[0080] In this embodiment, the water supply pipe 2 includes a tube body 23 and a water collecting portion 24 arranged in sequence along the direction of water flow. A water collecting cavity 241 is formed inside the water collecting portion 24. The inside of the tube body 23 and the water collecting cavity 241 are connected through a water outlet 25. The water outlet 25 faces the water outlet end face 22. The water outlet end face 22 is the wall surface of the water collecting portion 24 facing the inner cavity 11 of the water tank 1.
[0081] The water collecting chamber 241 is provided with a guide plate 6 facing the water outlet 25, with a spacing between the guide plate 6 and the water outlet 25, and a through hole 61 penetrating the wall thickness of the guide plate 6. After the water flows out of the tube body 23, it will gather in the water collecting chamber 241, and the water will hit the guide plate 6. Under the blocking effect of the guide plate 6, the water can be evenly dispersed in the entire water collecting chamber 241, so as to prevent the water from being sprayed only from the water outlet 21 directly facing the through hole 61 on the guide plate 6.
[0082] In this embodiment, a mounting box 26 is provided on the top wall of the sink 1, the water collecting part 24 is provided in the mounting box 26, the water supply pipe 2 partially extends into the mounting box 26, and a mounting opening is provided on the wall surface of the mounting box 26 facing the inner cavity 11 of the sink 1, and the water outlet end surface 22 of the water collecting part 24 is installed in the mounting opening, or, the part of the wall surface of the mounting box 26 facing the inner cavity 11 of the sink 1 is the water outlet end surface 22 of the water collecting part 24.
[0083] Example 2
[0084] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that:
[0085] like Fig.10 As shown, the structure of the water supply pipe 2 is different from that of Example 1, and the rest may refer to Example 1.
[0086] At least part of the water collecting part 24 is a flexible structure that can be extended toward or away from the inner cavity 11 of the water tank 1. The water collecting part 24 can be in the form of a bellows structure. Correspondingly, the part of the installation box 26 corresponding to the water collecting part 24 can also be extended.
[0087] The water collecting part 24 can be extended and retracted, so that the water outlet angle of the water outlet 21 can be adjusted, preferably within a range of 0° to 60°. When the water pressure is low, a smaller water outlet angle can be adjusted to make the water outlet direction of the water outlet 21 spray farther in the horizontal direction; when the water pressure is high, a larger water outlet angle can be adjusted to make the water outlet direction of the water outlet 21 spray more obliquely downward, which is conducive to the water entering the top cover 3 of the washing basket A and not spraying outside the top cover 3; secondly, it is conducive to users using it to more flexibly wash items of different sizes and different positions.
[0088] Example 3
[0089] like Figures 11 to 14As shown, the difference between Example 3 and Example 2 is that in this embodiment, no guide plate 6 is provided, but a splitter plate 71 and a baffle 72 are provided.
[0090] The water outlet 25 faces the water outlet end face 22, and a diverter plate 71 is embedded in the water outlet 25. The diverter plate 71 is provided with a first diverter hole 711 and a second diverter hole 712. The second diverter hole 712 is located on the outer periphery of the first diverter hole 711. The first diverter hole 711 and one of the water outlets 21 are connected through a water pipe 73. The area of the water outlet 21 connected to the water pipe 73 is larger than the area of any other water outlet 21.
[0091] A baffle plate 72 that can move relative to the diverter plate 71 is provided at the diverter plate 71. The baffle plate 72 is arranged close to the diverter plate 71. The baffle plate 72 can rotate around its axis to a first position, a second position and a third position under the action of a driving member 721. The baffle plate 72 is provided with a first water through hole 722 and a second water through hole 723 that penetrate the wall thickness thereof. The second water through hole 723 is located on the outer periphery of the first water through hole 722.
[0092] When the baffle 72 is in the first position, the first water hole 722 and the first diversion hole 711 are connected to each other, the second water hole 723 and the second diversion hole 712 are staggered, the first diversion hole 711 is fully opened, and the second diversion hole 712 is shielded by the baffle 72; at this time, the water flow is large and the water can be discharged quickly;
[0093] When the baffle 72 is in the second position, the first water hole 722 and the first diversion hole 711 are staggered, the second water hole 723 and the second diversion hole 712 are connected to each other, the first diversion hole 711 is shielded by the baffle 72, and the second diversion hole 712 is fully opened;
[0094] When the baffle 72 is in the third position, the first water hole 722 and the first diverter hole 711 are partially staggered, the second water hole 723 and the second diverter hole 712 are partially staggered, the first diverter hole 711 is partially shielded by the baffle 72, and the second diverter hole 712 is partially shielded by the baffle 72. In both the second and third positions, the water outflow is relatively dispersed and has a certain width, which is suitable for hand washing leafy vegetables or cutting boards, etc. The water outflow at the second position is smaller than the water outflow at the third position.
[0095] Because the water collecting part 24 can be extended toward or away from the inner cavity 11 of the water tank 1, the water pipe 73 is a corrugated pipe, which can also be extended along its length direction, so that the water outlet angle of the water outlet 21 is adjustable, preferably within the adjustment range of 0° to 60°. When the water pressure is low, a smaller water outlet angle can be adjusted to make the water outlet direction of the water outlet 21 spray farther in the horizontal direction; when the water pressure is high, a larger water outlet angle can be adjusted to make the water outlet direction of the water outlet 21 spray more obliquely downward, which is conducive to the water entering the top cover 3 of the washing basket A and not spraying outside the top cover 3; secondly, it is conducive to users using it to more flexibly wash items of different sizes and different positions.
[0096] Example 4
[0097] like Fig.15 , 16 As shown, the difference between Example 4 and Example 1 is that the structure of the top cover 3 is different. For other details, please refer to Example 1.
[0098] The peripheral wall 323 of the sink 32 is at least partially a flexible structure that can be extended and retracted in the up and down directions, and can be made of a flexible material or a bellows structure. In this way, when the water pressure is high, the sink 32 can be pressed down to adjust the depth, and when the water pressure is low, it can be raised to adjust the shallowness, ensuring that water is not easy to splash out under different water pressures. Secondly, when the amount of fruits and vegetables to be washed in the washing basket A is small, the sink 32 is pressed down, so that the space in the basket body is reduced, which can effectively prevent the centrifugal splashing of small-particle fruits and vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, blueberries, and strawberries, thereby improving the washing effect.
[0099] Example 5
[0100] like Fig.17 , 18 As shown, the difference between Example 5 and Example 4 is that the structure of the top cover 3 is different. For other details, please refer to Example 1.
[0101] The water inlet 31 is disposed at the central portion of the bottom wall of the sink 32 , and the upper surface of the bottom wall 321 of the sink 32 is inclined downward from the peripheral edge toward the water inlet 31 .
[0102] Example 6
[0103] like Fig.19 , 20 As shown, the difference between Example 6 and Example 1 is that the structure of the top cover 3 is different, and the rest can refer to Example 1.
[0104] The top cover 3 includes a body 33 and a cover plate 34. The body 33 is fixedly or rotatably connected to the outer basket 4. The middle of the body 33 has a central hole 331 that penetrates the wall thickness as a feed inlet. The cover plate 34 is movable and is arranged at the central hole 331, and the central hole 331 can be opened or closed. In this embodiment, the cover plate 34 is placed on the body 33, and the central hole 331 also serves as a water inlet. The central hole 331 can be opened or closed by simply lifting or lowering the cover plate 34, and the structure is relatively simple.
[0105] In addition, in order to facilitate observation of the situation in the basket, the cover plate 34 is a transparent cover plate 34 .
[0106] Example 7
[0107] like Fig.21 As shown, the difference between Example 7 and Example 6 is that the structure of the top cover 3 is different. For other details, please refer to Example 1.
[0108] The cover plate 34 is connected to the body 33 via a rotating shaft extending in the horizontal direction, and the cover plate 34 maintains a tendency to close the center hole 331 under the action of the elastic member 341. The center hole 331 can be opened by applying force to the cover plate 34 to rotate the cover plate 34; when the external force applied to the cover plate 34 disappears, the cover plate 34 can close the center hole 331 under the action of the elastic member 341. The elastic member 341 can be a torsion spring installed on the rotating shaft, one of the torsion arms of the torsion spring acts on the cover plate 34, and the other torsion arm can be fixed relative to the body 33.
[0109] A water inlet 31 is formed in the center of the cover plate 34 , and a top wall surface of the cover plate 34 slopes downward from the peripheral edge toward the water inlet 31 .
[0110] The body 33 is partially concave to form a recessed area 332 , and the central hole 331 is provided on the bottom wall of the recessed area 332 . The side wall of the recessed area 332 can be extended and retracted up and down, and can adopt a flexible material or a bellows structure.
[0111] Example 8
[0112] like Fig. 22 As shown, the difference between Example 8 and Example 5 is that the structure of the top cover 3 is different. For other details, please refer to Example 1.
[0113] The water and fruits and vegetables inside the inner basket 5 make centrifugal motion under the action of the rotation of the inner basket 5, and then move up along the inner wall of the inner basket 5. In this process, the fruits and vegetables collide and rub against the water, and the fruits and vegetables collide and rub against the inner wall of the inner basket 5 to achieve cleaning. In order to reduce the collision loss of water, the bottom wall of the top cover 3 is provided with a guide rib 35 located on the side of the sink 32. The guide rib 35 is arc-shaped, and the extension direction of the guide rib 35 is the same as or opposite to the rotation direction of the inner basket 5. The water flow splashing upwards can effectively reduce the impact loss under the guiding effect of the guide rib 35, maintain a high water pressure to spray downward, rinse the upper surface of the fruits and vegetables, and improve the cleaning effect. In addition, the outer diameter of the sink 32 is smaller than the inner diameter of the top edge of the inner basket 5, leaving a guide space.
[0114] like Fig. 22 As shown, the guide ribs 35 of the present embodiment are multiple and are arranged in sequence at intervals along the circumference of the sink 32. The extension direction of some of the guide ribs 35 is the same as the rotation direction of the inner basket 5, and the extension direction of another part of the guide ribs 35 is opposite to the rotation direction of the inner basket 5. These two types of guide ribs 35 are alternately connected in sequence to form a petal shape, which has a good guide effect and is more beautiful.
[0115] The outer peripheral wall surface of the corresponding guide rib 35 of the sink 32 is a conical surface 320 with a gradually decreasing diameter from top to bottom, which facilitates water to flow down, has better streamlines, and has a small flow resistance.
[0116] Example 9
[0117] like Fig.23 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the structure of the top cover 3 is different. For other details, please refer to embodiment 1.
[0118] The extending direction of all the guide ribs 35 of this embodiment is the same as the rotation direction of the inner basket 5 .
