[0034] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the water tank of this preferred embodiment includes a tank body 1 and a water inlet assembly A.

[0037] The tank body 1 has an inner cavity 11 with an open top. The water inlet assembly A is arranged on the top wall of the tank body 1 . The water inlet assembly A includes a water supply pipe 2 .

[0038] The water supply pipe 2 has a water outlet 21. 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 trough body 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.

[0039] The water sprayed from the water outlet 21 is in a waterfall-like manner with a certain width, a large spraying area, and a fast water injection speed. Moreover, because the spraying area of ​​the water supply pipe 2 is large, the water flow has a good cleaning effect on wider items such as cutting boards and leafy vegetables, and the cleaning efficiency is high.

[0040] 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 of the water collecting portion 24 facing the center of the trough body 1.

[0041] The water collecting chamber 241 is provided with a guide plate 3 facing the water outlet 25, with a spacing between the guide plate 3 and the water outlet 25, and a through hole 31 penetrating the wall thickness of the guide plate 3. 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 3. Under the blocking effect of the guide plate 3, 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 31 on the guide plate 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, a mounting box 4 is provided on the top wall of the trough body 1, the water collecting part 24 is provided in the mounting box 4, the water supply pipe 2 partially extends into the mounting box 4, and a mounting opening is provided on the wall surface of the mounting box 4 facing the inner cavity 11 of the trough body 1, and the water outlet end surface 22 of the water collecting part 24 is installed on the mounting opening; alternatively, a part of the wall surface of the mounting box 4 facing the inner cavity 11 of the trough body 1 is the water outlet end surface 22 of the water collecting part 24.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that:

[0045] The structure of the water supply pipe 2 is different from that of the embodiment 1, and the rest may refer to the embodiment 1.

[0046] The water collecting part 24 is at least partially a flexible structure that can be extended toward or away from the inner cavity 11 of the tank body 1. The water collecting part 24 can be in the form of a bellows structure. Correspondingly, the part of the installation box 4 corresponding to the water collecting part 24 can also be extended.

[0047] 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 so that the water outlet direction of the water outlet 21 sprays farther in the horizontal direction; when the water pressure is high, a larger water outlet angle can be adjusted so that the water outlet direction of the water outlet 21 sprays more obliquely downward, which is beneficial for users to use it to wash items of different sizes and different positions more flexibly.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] like Figures 7-10 As shown, the difference between Example 3 and Example 2 is that in this embodiment, no guide plate 3 is provided, but a splitter plate 7 and a baffle 8 are provided.

[0050] The water outlet 25 faces the water outlet end face 22, and a diverter plate 7 is embedded in the water outlet 25. The diverter plate 7 is provided with a first diverter hole 71 and a second diverter hole 72. The second diverter hole 72 is located on the outer periphery of the first diverter hole 71. The first diverter hole 71 and one of the water outlets 21 are connected through a water pipe 9. The area of ​​the water outlet 21 connected to the water pipe 9 is larger than the area of ​​any other water outlet 21.

[0051] A baffle plate 8 that can move relative to the diverter plate 7 is provided at the diverter plate 7. The baffle plate 8 is arranged close to the diverter plate 7. The baffle plate 8 can rotate around its axis to a first position, a second position and a third position under the action of a driving member 81. The baffle plate 8 is provided with a first water through hole 82 and a second water through hole 83 that penetrate the wall thickness thereof. The second water through hole 83 is located on the outer periphery of the first water through hole 82.

[0052] When the baffle 8 is in the first position, the first water hole 82 and the first diversion hole 71 are connected to each other, the second water hole 83 and the second diversion hole 72 are staggered, the first diversion hole 71 is fully opened, and the second diversion hole 72 is shielded by the baffle 8; at this time, the water flow is large and the water can be discharged quickly;

[0053] When the baffle plate 8 is in the second position, the first water hole 82 and the first diverter hole 71 are staggered, the second water hole 83 and the second diverter hole 72 are correspondingly connected, the first diverter hole 71 is shielded by the baffle plate 8, and the second diverter hole 72 is fully opened;

[0054] When the baffle 8 is in the third position, the first water hole 82 and the first diverter hole 71 are partially staggered, the second water hole 83 and the second diverter hole 72 are partially staggered, the first diverter hole 71 is partially shielded by the baffle 8, and the second diverter hole 72 is partially shielded by the baffle 8. 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.

[0055] Because the water collecting part 24 can be extended toward or away from the inner cavity 11 of the tank body 1, the water pipe 9 can also be extended along its length direction, so that the water outlet angle of the water outlet 21 is adjustable, 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 users using it to more flexibly wash items of different sizes and different positions.
