Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, in particular to a drying sink. Background Art
[0002] Sinks and bowl baskets are now almost essential kitchen appliances. Sinks are used to wash food and utensils, while bowl baskets are used to store them. Since sinks and bowl baskets are in a humid environment, they can easily lead to bacterial growth and mold if not dried promptly. To prevent this, drying sinks with drying functions have been designed in the prior art.
[0003] The drying sink body is provided with a drying area and a washing area which are independent of each other. The bowl basket assembly is embedded in the drying area and the drying area and the washing area are sealed and separated. The tableware and kitchenware in the bowl basket assembly are dried by the drying device.
[0004] The existing drying sinks have the following problems: 1. In order to facilitate users to master and adjust the drying parameters, the sink body is generally provided with a control screen for users to operate, and the control screen is tilted toward the user. When the bowl basket assembly is placed in the drying area of the sink body, since the bowl basket assembly is generally a rectangular or cube structure, its top will block the user's sight, hindering the user from observing and operating the control screen; 2. When the user is washing in the washing area, it is usually necessary to set up additional bowls and basins in the sink for washing, and the fruits, vegetables or tableware after washing will not be washed. 3. Because the drying nozzle is located near the top of the bowl basket assembly, the hot air from the drying device has difficulty reaching the inner bottom of the bowl basket assembly, resulting in poor drying effect and low drying efficiency. In addition, water on the surface of tableware and kitchenware will accumulate in the inner bottom of the bowl basket assembly under the action of gravity. If the drying is not in place for a long time, it can easily lead to a damp environment inside the bowl basket assembly, breeding bacteria and even mold, affecting the user's health. All of the above problems lead to a poor user experience.

[0057] This embodiment discloses a drying water tank, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drying sink can accommodate the bowl basket assembly 200 and can dry the bowl basket assembly 200 with good drying effect and high drying efficiency. The drying sink includes a sink body 100, a bowl basket assembly 200, and a drying assembly 300. The bowl basket assembly 200 and the drying assembly 300 are both installed in the sink body 100. The drying assembly 300 can blow hot air into the bowl basket assembly 200 to dry the tableware and kitchenware inside the bowl basket assembly 200.
[0058] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water tank body 100 is provided with a mounting slot 101 and a control screen 103 for displaying drying parameters and providing user operation. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the bowl basket assembly 200 includes a lower box body 201 and an upper box body 202. The lower box body 201 can be detachably installed in the installation groove 101. The upper box body 202 can be detachably connected to the top of the lower box body 201 to enclose the lower box body 201 to form a drying chamber. The interior of the upper box body 202 has a accommodating groove. The drying assembly 300 is set in the water tank body 100, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, an air guide 400 is provided at the air outlet end of the drying assembly 300. The air guide 400 is in communication with the lower housing 201 and is used to deliver hot air to the drying chamber. The air guide 400 extends downwardly and obliquely from the water tank body 100 toward the lower housing 201. The arrangement of the air guide 400 allows the hot air generated by the drying assembly 300 to be delivered into the drying chamber along a predetermined direction to dry the tableware and kitchenware.
[0059] Alternatively, as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the bowl basket assembly 200 also includes a drain rack 203, which is located within the lower housing 201. The bottom of the lower housing 201 is provided with air outlets 20111. Since the drain rack 203 is located within the lower housing 201, the air guide 400 communicates with the lower housing 201, allowing hot air to be blown directly onto the tableware on the drain rack 203, thereby improving drying efficiency. The upper housing 202 seals the lower housing 201, forming a sealed upper drying chamber to ensure drying efficiency.
[0060] The upper body 202 of the drying sink is detachably connected to the lower body 201 and includes a receiving groove. Thus, the upper body 202 not only seals the lower body 201 to form a drying chamber, but can also be removed from the lower body 201. When the upper body 202 is inverted, the opening of the receiving groove faces upward. By inverting the upper body 202, water can be stored in its receiving groove for soaking and washing, enriching the drying sink's functionality and meeting various user needs. The lower body 201 not only accommodates the drain rack 203 but also independently performs washing and draining functions. Compared to existing technologies, this eliminates the need for additional bowls and pans when washing vegetables and kitchen utensils, making it more convenient to use.
[0061] like Figure 7 As shown, the hot air from the drying assembly 300 of the drying water tank flows obliquely downward into the drying chamber through the air guide 400. This process realizes the primary drying of the tableware and kitchenware in the drying chamber. Then the hot air rises and then sinks. This process realizes the secondary drying of the tableware and kitchenware in the drying chamber, with good drying effect and high drying efficiency. The moist and cold air that drops to the bottom is discharged from the air outlet 20111 at the bottom of the bowl basket assembly 200, thereby accelerating the gas flow rate in the drying chamber, accelerating the drying speed, and helping to further improve the drying efficiency. The combination of the above structures can ensure that the drying chamber and the tableware and kitchenware in the drying chamber remain clean and fresh, which is conducive to creating a healthy kitchen and thus improving the user experience.
[0062] When the upper box 202 is placed on top of the lower box 201, the receiving groove opens downward, expanding the area where hot air rises and improving drying efficiency. Generally speaking, because the drain rack 203 is located within the lower box 201, the volume of the lower box 201 is larger than that of the upper box 202. In other words, the volume of the receiving groove of the lower box 201 is larger than that of the receiving groove of the upper box 202.
[0063] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the top surface of the upper housing 202 is provided with a relief portion 20212. The highest point of the relief portion 20212 is lower than the top surface of the upper housing 202. The relief portion 20212 is a transparent or translucent structure and faces the control panel 103. The user can easily see the control panel 103 on the sink body 100 through the relief portion 20212 on the upper housing 202, thereby understanding the drying parameters and adjusting the drying parameters on the control panel 103, thereby improving the user experience.
[0064] Generally speaking, the control panel 103 on the sink body 100 is positioned directly facing the user. That is, when a user stands in front of the drying sink, their line of sight is directly aligned with the control panel 103. Therefore, the relief portion 20212 on the bowl basket assembly 200 is positioned at the rear end of the upper housing 202, that is, at the end of the upper housing 202 away from the user. It should be noted that the "front" and "rear" directions defined herein refer to the directions in which the drying sink is used. The "front side" of the drying sink can be understood as the side closest to the user, and the "rear side" of the drying sink can be understood as the side away from the user.
[0065] Specifically, the upper box body 202 includes an upper box body 2021, which includes a box body portion 20211 and a relief portion 20212 disposed at one end of the box body portion 20211. The highest point of the relief portion 20212 is lower than the top surface of the box body portion 20211. This structural arrangement prevents the bowl basket assembly 200 from obstructing the user's view when installed in the sink, allowing the user to see the control screen 103 through the relief portion 20212.
[0066] Generally, the highest point of the bowl basket assembly 200 is higher than the highest point of the sink body 100, that is, the top surface of the upper box body 202 is higher than the top surface of the sink body 100. Therefore, when the bowl basket assembly 200 is installed in the sink body 100, the top surface of the upper box body 202 of the bowl basket assembly 200 is located between the user and the control screen 103, which will block the user's line of sight and affect the user's observation of the control screen 103. Therefore, in this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top surface of the box body 20211 is a horizontally disposed plane, and the top surface of the avoidance portion 20212 includes a first top surface 202121 and a second top surface 202122 connected thereto. The first top surface 202121 is an inclined surface slanting downward away from the box body 20211. The first top surface 202121 and the second top surface 202122 are arranged at an angle, and the angle ranges from greater than 90° to less than or equal to 180°. Because the first top surface 202121 is a downwardly inclined surface, the user's line of sight is not blocked by the first top surface 202121, and the user can directly see the control screen 103.
[0067] Under the above structure, when the angle between the first top surface 202121 and the second top surface 202122 is greater than 90° and less than 180°, that is, when the angle between the first top surface 202121 and the second top surface 202122 is an obtuse angle, the shape of the upper box body 202 is more beautiful and fashionable. The smooth transition between the first top surface 202121 and the second top surface 202122 improves the appearance and aesthetics, while preventing sharp edges from scratching people's hands and facilitating processing and manufacturing. When the angle between the first top surface 202121 and the second top surface 202122 is equal to 180°, that is, the first top surface 202121 and the second top surface 202122 are coplanar, that is, the top surface of the avoidance portion 20212 is an inclined surface that is tilted downward in a direction away from the box body 20211. The structure of the upper box body 2021 is simple and relatively easy to manufacture.
[0068] Alternatively, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, one of the lower box body 201 and the upper box body 202 is provided with a retaining ring structure, and the other is provided with an annular protrusion structure 2024. When the upper box body 202 is placed on the lower box body 201, the protrusion structure 2024 is located inside the retaining ring structure. The cooperation between the retaining ring structure and the protrusion structure 2024 can, on the one hand, prevent the gas in the drying chamber from leaking from the connection between the upper box body 202 and the lower box body 201, thereby providing a seal and ensuring the drying effect. On the other hand, it can also limit the assembly of the upper box body 202 and the lower box body 201, preventing the upper box body 202 and the lower box body 201 from misalignment. In addition, this structure also has a certain waterproof effect, preventing external water from entering the drying chamber through the connection between the upper box body 202 and the lower box body 201.
[0069] In this embodiment, the lower box body 201 includes a lower box body 2011 and a lower box edge 2012 arranged on the circumference of the lower box body 2011, the bottom of the lower box body 2011 is provided with an air outlet 20111, and a lower box stop edge 2013 is provided on the outer side of the lower box edge 2012. The top surface of the lower box stop edge 2013 is higher than the lower box edge 2012 to form a retaining ring structure; the upper box body 202 also includes an upper box edge 2022 arranged on the circumference of the upper box body 2021, and an upper box stop edge 2023 is provided on the outer side of the upper box edge 2022. The upper box edge 2022 can be supported on the lower box stop edge 2013, and a protruding structure 2024 is provided on the side of the upper box edge 2022 facing the lower box body 201. When the upper box body 202 is covered on the lower box body 201, the protruding structure 2024 is located on the inner side of the lower box stop edge 2013. The above structure is simple and easy to process and manufacture.
[0070] Alternatively, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the outer wall of the upper box body 2021 is provided with an anti-slip portion 20213. The anti-slip portion 20213 increases the friction between the hand and the upper box body 2021, preventing slipping between the hand and the upper box body 202. This reduces the occurrence of users failing to open the upper box body 202 due to slipping, and also facilitates the user's movement of the upper box body 202. Optionally, the anti-slip portion 20213 may be, but is not limited to, a grid-like or wavy raised structure.
[0071] Furthermore, the bottom of the lower box body 2011 is provided with a plurality of air outlet holes 20111, and the bottom of the water tank body 100 is provided with a drainage hole. The drying chamber is connected to the drainage hole through the plurality of air outlet holes 20111, that is, the air outlet holes 20111 also serve as drain holes. In this embodiment, the entire bottom plate of the lower box body 2011 is provided with air outlet holes 20111, so that water dripping from the tableware can flow into the water tank body 100 in a timely manner. At the same time, during the drying process, the presence of the air outlet holes 20111 and the drainage hole allows air circulation between the drying chamber and the outside, thereby improving drying efficiency.
[0072] A drainage hole is located at the lowest point of the water tank body 100, allowing water generated during the drying process to flow through the air outlet 20111 and the drainage hole at the bottom of the lower box body 201, and then into the sewer pipe. Simultaneously, the drainage hole allows the drying chamber to communicate with the outside through the air outlet 20111. As hot air continuously flows into the drying chamber, moist air within the drying chamber can be discharged through the air outlet 20111 and the drainage hole, thereby circulating the air within the drying chamber and accelerating the drying process. In other words, the air outlet 20111 and the drainage hole both serve as drainage and exhaust.
[0073] Furthermore, a certain distance is maintained between the bottom of the lower box body 201 and the inner bottom wall of the water tank body 100, so that there is a certain space below the lower box body 201 for the circulation of drying airflow, thereby further improving the drying efficiency.
[0074] In this embodiment, the bowl basket assembly 200 is detachably mounted in the mounting groove 101. When the tableware and kitchenware in the bowl basket assembly 200 need to be dried, the bowl basket assembly 200 is installed in the mounting groove 101. When drying is no longer required or after drying is completed, the bowl basket assembly 200 can be removed from the mounting groove 101, thereby increasing the cleaning space.
[0075] like Figures 10 to 12As shown, two opposing inner sidewalls of the sink body 100 are each provided with a ridge 102. The ridges 102 extend along the length of the sink body 100. The lower basket edge 2012 can rest on the ridges 102, and when the upper basket 202 is inverted, the upper basket edge 2022 can rest on the ridges 102. The provision of the ridges 102 facilitates the installation of the bowl basket assembly 200 within the sink body 100. The ridges 102 are preferably long enough to support both the upper basket 202 and the lower basket 201. When both the upper basket 202 and the lower basket 201 are supported on the ridges 102, items can be washed in the upper basket 202 and then placed in the lower basket 201 for draining.
[0076] Since the bowl basket assembly 200 is detachably connected to the sink body 100, the upper box body 202 of the bowl basket assembly 200 has water storage and cleaning functions, and the upper box body 202 and the lower box body 201 of the bowl basket assembly 200 can be supported on the sink body 100 for use, the mounting groove 101 in this embodiment can be made into a large through groove with equal depth. Compared with the prior art that requires the provision of washing and drying areas with different groove depths, the cleaning space of the drying sink can be flexibly adjusted according to needs. After the bowl basket assembly 200 is removed, the mounting groove 101 can accommodate more and larger tableware and kitchen utensils, thereby meeting the different usage needs of users.
[0077] In this embodiment, the side wall of the water tank body 100 is provided with an air outlet, the air outlet end of the drying assembly 300 is connected to the air outlet, and the air guide portion 400 is detachably connected to the side wall of the water tank body 100 at the air outlet. Figure 4 As shown, the sidewall of the lower housing 201 is provided with an air inlet 20112, which is capable of docking and communicating with the air guide 400. When installing the basket assembly 200 into the sink body 100, simply aligning the air inlet 20112 on the basket assembly 200 with the air guide 400 connects the air guide 400 to the drying chamber of the basket assembly 200, making installation simple and convenient.
[0078] Alternatively, as Figure 13As shown, the air guide portion 400 includes a housing 401 and a partition 402. The housing 401 is detachably connected to the sidewalls of the sink body 100. The top and bottom walls of the housing 401 extend obliquely downward from the sink body 100 toward the basket assembly 200. The housing 401 is provided with an air guide opening 4011. The partition 402 is vertically disposed within the air guide opening 4011. There is at least one partition 402. When there are two or more partitions 402, all partitions 402 are evenly spaced along the length of the air guide opening 4011. The partitions 402 provided in the air guide opening 4011 rectify the hot air, ensuring that it is evenly blown toward the drying chamber while also reducing noise. In this embodiment, at least two partitions 402 are provided; the specific number can be determined based on actual conditions.
[0079] The opening area of the air inlet 20112 is not less than the opening area of the air guide 4011. This structure can ensure that the wind energy guided by the air guide 4011 can all enter the drying chamber of the bowl basket assembly 200, avoiding the loss of hot air and energy waste, while ensuring the drying effect.
