[0046] There is an overflow groove on the outside of the tank body 1 against the wall, and there are holes 12 at the cover hinge and the adapter to ensure that the water in the pool that is too full overflows through the overflow groove; an arc-shaped side sealing plate 13 is provided on the overflow side of the inner sealing plate of the cover body assembly 2 to ensure that when the cover is closed, the holes at the cover hinge and the adapter can be blocked to prevent the washing water from spraying out of the dishwasher.

[0047] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional diagram of the dishwashing operation: the sink is equipped with a bottom spray head, which passes through the bottom of the sink and is connected to the external pipe. The connection hole is welded and sealed; a small sunken pool is also connected to the bottom of the sink body, which is used when the dishwasher is in operation. Figure 7 As shown: the sinking pool is provided with a filter plate at the mouth, and the inner filter plate is below it. The bottom is about 1 cm higher than the bottom plate and a sand settling plate is provided at the bottom of the overflow port. The inner filter plate has two functions: one is double filtration, and the other is to prevent the remaining residue from flowing into the water pump when the filter plate is rinsed and cleaned after the dishwashing operation; the bottom sand settling plate intercepts the fine sand particles passing through the filter plate during the dishwashing operation to prevent it from entering the water pump and causing wear. The upper sprinkler head is integrated into the cover plate, and the upper cover plate is integrated with a variety of pipelines, circuit mechanisms, etc., connected to the opening and closing device, and an inner sealing plate is designed to prevent water vapor from entering. In addition, considering that the cover plate has certain load-bearing requirements, a reinforcing rib is set. In addition, the cover plate is connected to the sink by a hinge, and the outer pipe is connected to the inner pipe of the cover plate through a transfer joint. There are certain holes at the transfer joint and the hinge, one is for exhaust, and the other is to allow the water in the sink to overflow. For this purpose, an arc-shaped side sealing plate is connected to the inner sealing plate. When the cover plate is closed, the gap between the inner side of the sink is sealed to prevent water from splashing out during the dishwashing operation.

[0048] Figure 2 Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the pipeline with the cover open, in which the lower half of the pipeline is outside the pool, and the upper half is connected to the inside of the cover through a connector; Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cover alone. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the internal and external pipeline transition point.

[0049] Figure 6 This is a diagram showing the location of the sink dishwasher in the kitchen. Figure 6 There is a narrow overflow groove on the outside of the sink against the wall, and there are holes at the cover hinges and adapters. When the cover is opened to be used as a general sink, if the water in the sink overflows, it will overflow through the overflow groove; when used as a dishwasher, an arc-shaped side sealing plate is provided on the overflow side of the inner sealing plate. When the cover is closed, it can block the holes at the cover hinges and adapters to prevent washing water from spraying out of the dishwasher.

[0050] Figure 8 , Fig. 9The schematic diagrams of the opening and closing device are shown in the following figure, respectively, when the cover is closed and opened. The sprocket of the opening and closing system is fixed to the inner wall with a tripod. The sprocket is connected to the corner of the supporting tripod through a bearing, and the chain changes direction through the sprocket. One end of the chain is connected to the cover, and the lower end is connected to the rack. The lower end of the rack is connected to the counterweight block, which plays a role in balancing the weight of the cover. The driving mechanism consists of a reduction motor and a worm gear. The motor drives the worm gear to pull the rack downward or push the rack upward to open or close the cover. Fig.11 This is a schematic diagram of the chain unit structure. There is an outward-extending limit tongue on the right side of each unit to ensure that the chain forms a straight line after the sprocket turns to push or pull the cover plate to rotate.

[0051] Fig.11 This is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the circulating water pump, water distribution valve, connecting pipe, and water outlet pipe of the sinking pool. Fig.12 This is the schematic diagram of the water diversion valve structure. When the iron core coil is energized, a magnetic field is generated to push the magnet on the push rod downward to close the valve, and the water path is blocked. When the power is off, the spring pulls the push rod back to its original position, the valve opens, and the circulating water pump pumps out water through the water path and sprays it out through the sprinkler head to wash the dishes. The plane diagram of the multi-way water diversion valve is as follows Fig.13 Shown

[0052] When in use, the cover is opened, the dish basket is placed in the sink, the bowls, plates and other tableware to be washed are placed in the corresponding positions of the basket, the cover is closed, the tap water nozzle is turned on, an appropriate amount of clean water and an appropriate amount of detergent are added, the electric heating element is energized to heat the washing water (the start and stop temperature can be set), the circulating water pump is started, and the corresponding pipe systems are connected in sequence through the electric water distribution valve, and the spray heads in different positions spray hot water in sequence to wash the tableware from different directions.

[0053] Used as a washing sink: Take out the tableware from the basket and when the cover is half-open, the spray head and circulating water pump system will automatically lock, and the tap water nozzle can be opened and closed, and it can be used as an ordinary sink.

[0054] When it is idle, close the cover tightly, the board surface can bear appropriate weight and can be used for preparing meals, etc. The foldable tap above the cover can be erected to collect water for kettles, etc. Figure 5 As shown (no need to open the cover specifically), the kitchen layout is also relatively neat and refreshing.

[0055] The cover plate assembly of the present invention adopts an integrated structure, and various functional components can be integrated inside. If a functional component needs to be added, it only needs to replace the cover plate assembly to add the functional component, thereby realizing the upgrading of the entire dishwasher and saving costs.

[0056] The above description shows and describes the preferred embodiments of the present invention. As mentioned above, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the invention concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge of the relevant field.
