Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of kitchenware technology, and more particularly to a drying sink. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, sinks and dish racks have become almost essential kitchen utensils. Sinks are used to wash food and kitchenware, while dish racks are used to store kitchenware. Since sinks and dish racks are in a humid environment, bacteria and mold can easily grow if they are not dried in time. To avoid this phenomenon, existing technologies have designed drying sinks with drying functions.

[0003] The drying sink has independent drying and washing zones. The dish rack assembly is embedded in the drying zone, which seals and separates the drying and washing zones. The dish rack assembly dries the kitchenware inside the dish rack assembly through a drying device.

[0004] Existing drying sinks have the following problems: 1. To facilitate user control and adjustment of drying parameters, the sink body is generally equipped with a control panel. This control panel is tilted towards the user. When the dish rack assembly is placed in the drying area of ​​the sink body, its top, being typically a cuboid or cube structure, obstructs the user's view, hindering observation and operation of the control panel; 2. When users are washing items in the washing area, additional bowls and basins are usually required for washing. After washing, the fruits, vegetables, or kitchen utensils... Furthermore, the dishes need to be placed in additional bowls or drainers, requiring a large number of bowls during the washing process, making subsequent organization inconvenient; 3. Because the air outlet of the drying device is located near the top of the dish rack assembly, the hot air blown out by the drying device has difficulty reaching the inner bottom of the dish rack assembly, resulting in poor drying effect and low drying efficiency. In addition, water on the surface of the tableware will collect at the inner bottom of the dish rack assembly due to gravity, and prolonged inadequate drying can easily lead to a damp environment inside the dish rack assembly, breeding bacteria and even mold, affecting the user's health. All of the above problems contribute to a poor user experience.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a drying tank to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying water tank with good drying effect, and at the same time solve the technical problems of existing drying water tanks that require additional bowls and basins for auxiliary cleaning, and that the bowl basket assembly obstructs the user's view and hinders the user's operation of the control screen.

[0016] The upper box body also includes an upper box edge disposed around the circumference of the upper box body. An upper box stop edge is disposed on the outer side of the upper box edge. The upper box edge can be supported on the lower box stop edge. The protruding structure is disposed on the side of the upper box edge facing the lower box body. When the upper box body covers the lower box body, the protruding structure is located on the inner side of the lower box stop edge.

[0017] As an optional technical solution for the above-mentioned drying water tank, each of the two opposite inner sidewalls of the water tank body is provided with a protruding ridge. The protruding ridge extends along the length direction of the water tank body. The edge of the lower box can be supported on the protruding ridge, and the edge of the upper box can be supported on the protruding ridge when the upper box is inverted.

[0022] A partition is provided in the air guide in a vertical direction. There is at least one partition. When there are two or more partitions, all the partitions are equally spaced along the length of the air guide.

[0023] As an optional technical solution for the aforementioned drying tank, the opening area of ​​the air inlet is not less than the opening area of ​​the air guide.

[0024] As an optional technical solution for the aforementioned drying tank.

[0025] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The present invention discloses a drying tank, comprising a tank body, a basket assembly, and a drying assembly. The tank body is equipped with a control screen. The basket assembly includes a lower box and an upper box. The lower box is detachably installed in the tank body, and the upper box is detachably connected to the top of the lower box to form a drying chamber. The upper box has an accommodating groove inside. The top surface of the upper box is provided with a clearance portion, the highest point of which is lower than the top surface of the upper box.

[0028] The hot air from the drying unit of this drying tank flows downwards at an angle into the drying chamber through the air guide, achieving a primary drying of the tableware and kitchenware in the drying chamber. Then, the hot air rises and falls, achieving a secondary drying of the tableware and kitchenware in the drying chamber. The drying effect is good and the drying efficiency is high. The humid and cold air that falls to the bottom is discharged from the air outlet at the bottom of the dish rack assembly, thereby accelerating the gas flow rate in the drying chamber and speeding up the drying process, which helps to further improve the drying efficiency. The combination of the above structures ensures 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.

[0029] The upper and lower boxes of this drying sink are detachably connected, and the upper box has an internal receiving groove. Therefore, the upper box can not only seal the lower box to form a drying chamber, but also fill water in its receiving groove by inverting the upper box to achieve functions such as soaking and washing. This enriches the functionality of the drying sink and meets different user needs. Compared with existing technologies, there is no need to prepare a separate washing basin when washing vegetables or kitchen utensils, making it more convenient to use and providing a better user experience.

[0057] This embodiment discloses a drying water tank, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drying sink can accommodate and dry the dish rack assembly 200, providing good drying effect and high drying efficiency. The drying sink includes a sink body 100, a dish rack assembly 200, and a drying component 300. Both the dish rack assembly 200 and the drying component 300 are installed in the sink body 100. The drying component 300 can blow hot air into the dish rack assembly 200 to dry the tableware and kitchenware inside.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water tank body 100 is provided with a mounting slot 101 and a control panel 103 for displaying drying parameters and for user operation. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the dish rack assembly 200 includes a lower box body 201 and an upper box body 202. The lower box body 201 is detachably installed in the mounting groove 101, and the upper box body 202 is detachably connected to the top of the lower box body 201 to form a drying chamber. The interior of the upper box body 202 has a receiving groove. The drying assembly 300 is disposed within the sink body 100, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the drying assembly 300 has an air guide 400 at its air outlet. The air guide 400 is connected to the lower box 201 and is used to deliver hot air into the drying chamber. The air guide 400 extends downward at an angle along the direction from the water tank body 100 to the lower box 201. The air guide 400 allows the hot air generated by the drying assembly 300 to be delivered into the drying chamber in a preset direction to dry the kitchen utensils.

[0059] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the dish rack assembly 200 also includes a drain rack 203, which is disposed inside the lower box 201. The bottom of the lower box 201 has an air outlet 20111. Because the drain rack 203 is disposed inside the lower box 201, the air guide 400 is connected to the lower box 201, allowing hot air to be directly blown onto the kitchenware on the drain rack 203, improving drying efficiency. The upper box 202 seals the lower box 201 to form a sealed upper drying chamber, ensuring drying efficiency.

[0060] The upper box 202 and lower box 201 of the drying sink are detachably connected, and the upper box 202 has a receiving groove. Therefore, the upper box 202 can not only seal the lower box 201 to form a drying chamber, but it can also be removed from the lower box 201. When the upper box 202 is inverted, the opening of the receiving groove faces upward. By inverting the upper box 202 and storing water in its receiving groove, functions such as soaking and washing can be achieved, enriching the use of the drying sink and meeting different user needs. The lower box 201 can not only hold the drain rack 203, but also realize the washing and draining functions independently. Compared with the existing technology, there is no need to prepare an extra washing basin when washing vegetables and kitchen utensils, making it more convenient to use.

[0061] like Figure 7 As shown, the hot air from the drying component 300 of the drying tank flows obliquely downwards into the drying chamber through the air guide 400. This process dries the tableware in the drying chamber once. Then, the hot air rises and falls, which dries the tableware a second time. The drying effect is good and the drying efficiency is high. The humid and cold air that falls to the bottom is discharged from the air outlet 20111 at the bottom of the dish rack component 200, thereby accelerating the gas flow rate in the drying chamber and speeding up the drying process, which helps to further improve the drying efficiency. The combination of the above structures can ensure that the drying chamber and the tableware 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 covers the top of the lower box 201, the opening of the receiving groove faces downwards, expanding the hot air rising area and improving drying efficiency. Generally, since the drain rack 203 is located inside the lower box 201, the volume of the lower box 201 is larger than the volume of the upper box 202, that is, the volume of the receiving groove of the lower box 201 is larger than the volume of the receiving groove of the upper box 202.

[0063] In this embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the top surface of the upper box 202 has a clearance portion 20212. The highest point of the clearance portion 20212 is lower than the top surface of the upper box 202. The clearance portion 20212 is transparent or semi-transparent and faces the control screen 103. Users can easily see the control screen 103 on the sink body 100 through the clearance portion 20212 on the upper box 202, thereby mastering the drying parameters and operating on the control screen 103 to adjust the drying parameters, thus improving the user experience.

[0064] Generally, the control panel 103 on the sink body 100 is positioned facing the user, meaning that when the user stands in front of the drying sink, their line of sight is directly facing the control panel 103. Therefore, the clearance portion 20212 on the dish rack assembly 200 is located at the rear end of the upper box 202, that is, the clearance portion 20212 is located at the end of the upper box 202 furthest from the user. It should be noted that the "front" and "rear" directions defined here refer to the usage direction of the drying sink. The "front side" of the drying sink can be understood as the side closer to the user, and the "rear side" of the drying sink can be understood as the side furthest from the user.

[0065] Specifically, the upper box 202 includes an upper box body 2021, which includes a box portion 20211 and a clearance portion 20212 disposed at one end of the box portion 20211. The highest point of the clearance portion 20212 is lower than the top surface of the box portion 20211. This structural design prevents the dish rack assembly 200 from obstructing the user's view when installed in the sink, allowing the user to see the control panel 103 through the clearance portion 20212.

[0066] Normally, the highest point of the dish basket assembly 200 is higher than the highest point of the sink body 100, meaning the top surface of the upper housing 202 is higher than the top surface of the sink body 100. Therefore, when the dish basket assembly 200 is installed inside the sink body 100, the top surface of the upper housing 202 of the dish basket assembly 200 is located between the user and the control screen 103, which will obstruct the user's view and affect the user's observation of the control screen 103. Therefore, in this embodiment, as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top surface of the housing 20211 is a horizontally oriented plane, and the top surface of the clearance portion 20212 includes a first top surface 202121 and a second top surface 202122 connected together. The first top surface 202121 is a downward sloping surface in a direction away from the housing 20211, and the first top surface 202121 and the second top surface 202122 are set at an angle, with the angle ranging from greater than 90° to less than or equal to 180°. Because the first top surface 202121 is a downward sloping surface, the user's line of sight is not obstructed by the first top surface 202121, and the user can directly see the control screen 103.

[0067] Under the above structure, when the included 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 included angle between the first top surface 202121 and the second top surface 202122 is an obtuse angle, the upper box body 202 has a more aesthetically pleasing and stylish shape. The smooth transition between the first top surface 202121 and the second top surface 202122 improves the appearance and avoids sharp edges from scratching hands, while also facilitating processing and manufacturing. When the included angle between the first top surface 202121 and the second top surface 202122 is equal to 180°, that is, when the first top surface 202121 and the second top surface 202122 are coplanar, meaning that the top surface of the clearance portion 20212 is an inclined surface sloping downwards in a direction away from the box body portion 20211, the structure of the upper box body 2021 is simple and relatively easy to manufacture.

[0068] Optionally, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, one of the lower box 201 and the upper box 202 is provided with a retaining ring structure, and the other is provided with an annular protrusion structure 2024. When the upper box 202 covers the lower box 201, the protrusion structure 2024 is located inside the retaining ring structure. Through the cooperation of the retaining ring structure and the protrusion structure 2024, on the one hand, it can prevent gas in the drying chamber from leaking from the connection between the upper box 202 and the lower box 201, thus playing a sealing role and ensuring the drying effect. On the other hand, it can also limit the assembly of the upper box 202 and the lower box 201, preventing misalignment between them. Furthermore, this structure also has a certain waterproof function, preventing external water from entering the drying chamber from the connection between the upper box 202 and the lower box 201.

[0069] In this embodiment, the lower box body 201 includes a lower box body 2011 and a lower box edge 2012 disposed around the lower box body 2011. The bottom of the lower box body 2011 is provided with an air outlet 20111. A lower box baffle 2013 is provided on the outer side of the lower box edge 2012. The top surface of the lower box baffle 2013 is higher than the lower box edge 2012 to form a baffle ring structure. The upper box body 202 also includes an upper box edge 2022 disposed around the upper box body 2021. An upper box baffle 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 baffle 2013. 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 covers the lower box body 201, the protruding structure 2024 is located inside the lower box baffle 2013. The above structure is simple and easy to process and manufacture.

[0070] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the outer wall of the upper box body 2021 is provided with an anti-slip part 20213. By providing the anti-slip part 20213, the friction between the hand and the upper box body 2021 is increased, preventing slippage between the hand and the upper box body 202, thereby reducing the phenomenon of users failing to open the upper box body 202 due to slippage. At the same time, it also facilitates the user to move the upper box body 202. Optionally, the anti-slip part 20213 can 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 multiple air outlets 20111, and the bottom of the sink body 100 is provided with drain holes. The drying chamber is connected to the drain holes through the multiple air outlets 20111, meaning that the air outlets 20111 can also serve as drainage holes. In this embodiment, the entire bottom plate of the lower box body 2011 is provided with air outlets 20111, so that water dripping from the kitchen utensils can flow into the sink body 100 in a timely manner. At the same time, during the drying process, the presence of the air outlets 20111 and the drain holes allows the drying chamber to form airflow circulation with the outside, improving drying efficiency.

[0072] The drain hole is located at the lowest point of the water tank body 100, so that the water generated during the drying process flows sequentially through the air outlet 20111 and the drain hole at the bottom of the lower box 201 into the drain pipe. Simultaneously, the drain hole allows the drying chamber to communicate with the outside through the air outlet 20111. As hot air is continuously introduced into the drying chamber, the humid air inside can be discharged through the air outlet 20111 and the drain hole, thus circulating the airflow within the drying chamber and accelerating the drying speed. In other words, both the air outlet 20111 and the drain hole serve both drainage and exhaust functions.

[0073] Furthermore, the bottom of the lower box 201 is kept at a certain distance from the inner bottom wall of the water tank body 100, so that there is a certain space under the lower box 201 to allow for the flow of drying air, thereby further improving the drying efficiency.

[0074] In this embodiment, the dish rack assembly 200 is detachably installed in the mounting slot 101. When it is necessary to dry the tableware in the dish rack assembly 200, the dish rack assembly 200 is inserted into the mounting slot 101. When drying is no longer needed or after drying is completed, the dish rack assembly 200 can be removed from the mounting slot 101 to expand the cleaning space.

[0075] like Figures 10 to 12As shown, each of the two opposing inner sidewalls of the sink body 100 has a protruding rib 102. The protruding rib 102 extends along the length of the sink body 100. The lower box edge 2012 can be supported on the protruding rib 102, and the upper box edge 2022 can be supported on the protruding rib 102 when the upper box 202 is inverted. By setting the protruding rib 102, the purpose of installing the dish rack assembly 200 on the sink body 100 is achieved. The length of the protruding rib 102 is preferably sufficient to support both the upper box 202 and the lower box 201 simultaneously. When both the upper box 202 and the lower box 201 are supported on the protruding rib 102, items can be washed in the upper box 202 and then placed in the lower box 201 to drain.

[0076] Since the dish rack assembly 200 is detachably connected to the sink body 100, and the upper box 202 of the dish rack assembly 200 has water storage and washing functions, and the upper box 202 and lower box 201 of the dish rack assembly 200 can be supported on the sink body 100 respectively, the mounting groove 101 in this embodiment can be made into a large through groove with equal depth.

The top and bottom walls of the housing 401 extend downwards at an angle along the direction from the water tank body 100 toward the basket assembly 200. An air guide vent 4011 is provided on the housing 401. The partition 402 is vertically disposed within the air guide vent 4011. At least one partition 402 is provided. When there are two or more partitions 402, all partitions 402 are equally spaced along the length of the air guide vent 4011. By providing partitions 402 in the air guide vent 4011, the hot air is rectified, allowing the hot air to be blown evenly into the drying chamber, while also reducing noise. In this embodiment, two or more partitions 402 are provided; the specific number can be designed according to 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 ensures that all the air energy discharged from the air guide 4011 enters the drying chamber of the basket assembly 200, avoiding heat loss and energy waste, while ensuring the drying effect.
