Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a sink and kitchen equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, intelligent sinks with automatic cleaning are gradually becoming a popular choice for home kitchen appliances. However, in existing technologies, intelligent sinks typically have a through hole at the bottom of the sink to connect the drive shaft to the drive motor, thereby enabling the rotation and cleaning of items. However, since the through hole is located at the bottom of the sink, it usually requires thorough sealing to prevent leakage. At the same time, the cleaning device occupies sink space, limiting the usable space of the sink. In other words, existing intelligent sinks are relatively expensive and not very convenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the purpose of this application is to detachably connect the cleaning device to the sink through magnetic transmission, thereby avoiding the need for opening holes at the bottom of the sink, reducing the installation cost of the sink and improving the ease of use of the sink.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a water tank, including a water storage tank and a cleaning device, wherein the cleaning device is detachably installed within the water storage tank. The bottom of the water storage tank is equipped with a drive device and a first disk. The drive device is connected to the first disk to drive the first disk to rotate. The cleaning device includes a cleaning basket and a second disk, the cleaning basket being fixedly connected to the second disk; the second disk is disposed opposite to the first disk so that the first disk can drive the second disk to rotate.

[0005] In this embodiment of the application, the first disk includes a driving outer ring, and the driving outer ring includes a plurality of first magnetic regions, with adjacent first magnetic regions having opposite magnetic properties; The second disk includes a transmission outer ring, which is disposed opposite to the drive outer ring; the transmission outer ring includes a plurality of second magnetic regions, and adjacent second magnetic regions have opposite magnetic properties.

[0008] In this embodiment of the application, a first drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the first accommodating space.

[0009] In this embodiment, the cleaning basket has a cylindrical structure.

[0010] In this embodiment of the application, the cylindrical surface of the cleaning basket is provided with a plurality of drainage holes.

[0011] In this embodiment of the application, the plurality of drainage holes are arranged in an array on the cylindrical surface.

[0012] In this embodiment of the application, the water storage tank is provided with an overlapping tank wall, and the cleaning device is provided with an overlapping flange, which overlaps with the overlapping tank wall.

[0013] On the other hand, this application also provides a kitchen appliance, which includes a sink as described in this application.

[0014] Due to the above technical solution, the water tank described in this application has the following beneficial effects: By installing a drive unit and a first disk at the bottom of the water storage tank, and a corresponding second disk on the cleaning device, the cleaning basket is rotated through magnetic transmission between the first and second disks, thus achieving automatic cleaning of the items to be cleaned.

[0020] Combination Figure 1-2This application describes a water tank provided in an embodiment, including a water storage tank 1 and a cleaning device 2. The cleaning device 2 is detachably installed in the water storage tank 1. The bottom of the water storage tank 1 is provided with a drive device 11 and a first disk 12. The drive device 11 is connected to the first disk 12 to drive the first disk 12 to rotate. The cleaning device 2 includes a cleaning basket 21 and a second disk 22. The cleaning basket 21 and the second disk 22 are fixedly connected. The second disk 22 is arranged opposite to the first disk 12 so that the first disk 12 can drive the second disk 22 to rotate.

[0021] In a specific embodiment of this application, the water storage tank 1 refers to a cleaning space that can store water. Specifically, the bottom of the water storage tank 1 is provided with a water outlet and a plug. The plug is used to block the water outlet so that the water storage tank 1 is in a relatively sealed state and realizes the water storage function. The plug and the water outlet are detachable.

[0022] In a specific embodiment of this application, the bottom thickness of the water storage tank 1 between the first disk 12 and the second disk 22 is approximately 0.05-0.15 mm; preferably 1 mm.

[0023] In a specific embodiment of this application, the distance between the first disk 12 and the second disk 22 can be 8-10mm, preferably 9mm.

[0024] In a specific embodiment of this application, the water outlet of the water storage tank 1 is connected to the drain pipe.

[0025] In a specific embodiment of this application, the cleaning device 2 is used to clean the items to be cleaned. Specifically, the items to be cleaned can be vegetables and fruits, etc., to automatically clean pesticide residues or dirt on the surface of vegetables and fruits; the items to be cleaned can also be kitchen utensils, etc., to clean dirt or oil stains on the surface of kitchen utensils.

[0026] In a specific embodiment of this application, the items to be cleaned are placed in the cleaning basket 21, and the cleaning basket 21 rotates under the drive of the first disk 12 and the second disk 22 to clean the items to be cleaned.

[0027] In a specific embodiment of this application, the second disk 22 drives the first disk 12 to rotate via magnetic force.

[0028] In this embodiment, by setting a drive device 11 and a first disk 12 at the bottom of the water storage tank 1, and setting a corresponding second disk 22 on the cleaning device 2, the cleaning basket 21 is driven to rotate through the magnetic transmission between the first disk 12 and the second disk 22, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of the items to be cleaned. At the same time, since magnetic transmission is used, there is no need to open a drive connection hole at the bottom of the water storage tank 1, thereby reducing the sealing cost of the water tank and the laying cost of the water tank. The cleaning device 2 and the water storage tank 1 are detachable, so that the cleaning device 2 can be disassembled when not needed, increasing the working space of the water storage tank 1 and thus improving the ease of use of the water tank.

[0029] refer to Figure 3-4 In this embodiment of the application, the first disk 12 includes a driving outer ring 121, which includes a plurality of first magnetic regions 122, and adjacent first magnetic regions 122 have opposite magnetic properties; the second disk 22 includes a transmission outer ring 221, which is disposed opposite to the driving outer ring 121; the transmission outer ring 221 includes a plurality of second magnetic regions 222, and adjacent second magnetic regions 222 have opposite magnetic properties.

[0030] In a specific embodiment of this application, the number of multiple first magnetic regions 122 is the same as the number of multiple second magnetic regions 222, and the area of ​​the first magnetic region 122 is the same as the area of ​​the second magnetic region 222.

[0031] In a specific embodiment of this application, when the second magnetic region 222 is misaligned with the first magnetic region 122, the first disk 12 can provide rotational torque to the second disk 22; wherein, the misalignment of the first magnetic region 122 and the second magnetic region 222 means that the same magnetic regions in the first magnetic region 122 and the second magnetic region 222 are misaligned and / or the opposite magnetic regions in the first magnetic region 122 and the second magnetic region 222 are misaligned.

[0032] In a specific embodiment of this application, when the number of multiple first magnetic regions 122 is the same as the number of multiple second magnetic regions 222, and the area of ​​the first magnetic region 122 is the same as the area of ​​the second magnetic region 222, and the misalignment area between the first magnetic region 122 and the second magnetic region 222 is equal to half the area, the rotational torque of the first disk 12 on the second disk 22 is the maximum.

[0033] In a specific embodiment of this application, when the number of multiple first magnetic regions 122 is the same as the number of multiple second magnetic regions 222, and the area of ​​the first magnetic region 122 is the same as the area of ​​the second magnetic region 222, and the first magnetic region 122 and the second magnetic region 222 are completely misaligned or not misaligned, the rotational torque of the first disk 12 on the second disk 22 is minimal. Specifically, the rotational torque of the first disk 12 on the second disk 22 is 0.

[0034] In a specific embodiment of this application, by making the number of multiple first magnetic regions 122 the same as the number of multiple second magnetic regions 222, and by making the area of ​​the first magnetic region 122 the same as the area of ​​the second magnetic region 222, the transmission efficiency of the rotational torque from the first disk 12 to the second disk 22 can be improved, thereby reducing the drive energy consumption.

[0035] In a specific embodiment of this application, complete misalignment of the first magnetic region 122 and the second magnetic region 222 means that the same magnetic regions in the first magnetic region 122 and the second magnetic region 222 are completely misaligned and / or the opposite magnetic regions in the first magnetic region 122 and the second magnetic region 222 are completely misaligned.

[0036] In a specific embodiment of this application, "the first magnetic region 122 and the second magnetic region 222 are not misaligned" means that the same magnetic regions in the first magnetic region 122 and the second magnetic region 222 are directly opposite each other.

[0037] In other embodiments of this application, the number of first magnetic regions 122 may not be the same as the number of second magnetic regions 222, and the area of ​​the first magnetic region 122 may not be the same as the area of ​​the second magnetic region 222. In cases where the number of first magnetic regions 122 is different from the number of second magnetic regions 222 and / or the area of ​​the first magnetic region 122 is different from the area of ​​the second magnetic region 222, it is necessary to simulate and test the rotational torque between the first disk 12 and the second disk 22 to determine the optimal rotational torque position.

[0038] refer to Figure 5 In a specific embodiment of this application, when the torque curve in the simulation test results is trapezoidal or saddle-shaped, there is a sinusoidal difference, which indicates low torque transmission efficiency; specifically, it may be due to a mismatch between the number of magnetic poles and the outer diameter and / or an insufficient number of magnetic poles.

[0039] Referring to 6, in a specific embodiment of this application, when the torque curve in the simulation test results is close to a sine wave, the torque transmission efficiency is highest; specifically, the number of magnetic poles and the outer diameter are optimally matched.

[0040] In a specific embodiment of this application, the horizontal axis of the torque curve in the simulation test results represents the driving time and / or the rotation time of the first disk 12; the vertical axis of the torque curve represents the magnitude of the rotational torque force.

[0041] In this embodiment, by setting a drive outer ring 121 and a transmission outer ring 221, magnetic torque transmission is achieved through the misaligned first magnetic region 122 and second magnetic region 222, thus eliminating the need to open a drive connection hole at the bottom of the water storage tank 1, thereby reducing the sealing cost of the water tank and the laying cost of the water trough; the cleaning device 2 is detachable from the water storage tank 1, so that the cleaning device 2 can be disassembled when not needed, increasing the working space of the water storage tank 1 and thus improving the ease of use of the water trough; at the same time, the transmission torque between the first disk 12 and the second disk 22 can be increased, thereby increasing the transmission interval distance between the first disk 12 and the second disk 22.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first disk 12 includes a first repulsive inner ring 123, which is disposed within the drive outer ring 121; the second disk 22 includes a second repulsive inner ring 223, which is disposed within the transmission outer ring 221. The first repulsive inner ring 123 and the second repulsive inner ring 223 are disposed opposite to each other, and the magnetic properties of the first repulsive inner ring 123 and the second repulsive inner ring 223 are opposite.

[0043] In a specific embodiment of this application, the opposite magnetic properties of the first repulsive inner ring 123 and the second repulsive inner ring 223 indicate that a mutual repulsive force will be generated between the first repulsive inner ring 123 and the second repulsive inner ring 223.

[0044] In this embodiment of the application, by setting a first repulsive inner ring 123 on the first disk 12 and a second repulsive inner ring 223 on the second disk 22, a repulsive force is generated between the first disk 12 and the second disk 22, reducing the force required to disassemble the cleaning device 2, making it easier to disassemble the cleaning device 2 from the water storage tank 1, and improving the ease of use of the water tank.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cleaning device 2 includes a first accommodating space 23 and a second accommodating space 24, and the cleaning basket 21 is disposed in the first accommodating space 23.

[0046] In a specific embodiment of this application, the first accommodating space 23 can be the space for the washing basket 21 to wash the items to be washed; the second accommodating space 24 can be the space for accommodating the washed items.

[0047] In this embodiment, by providing a first accommodating space 23 and a second accommodating space 24 in the cleaning device 2, the cleaned items can be stored after being cleaned in the cleaning basket 21, thereby improving the convenience of using the sink cleaning system.

[0048] In this embodiment of the application, a first drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the first accommodating space 23.

[0049] In a specific embodiment of this application, a second drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the second accommodating space 24.

[0050] In a specific embodiment of this application, the drainage outlets of the first and second drain outlets are water storage tanks 1; specifically, water outlet holes are provided on the pool wall near the bottom of the pool to drain the water in the water storage tank 1.

[0051] In this embodiment of the application, by providing a first drain outlet at the bottom of the first accommodating space 23, the water in the cleaning basket 21 is easily drained, thereby improving the cleaning convenience of the cleaning device 2 and thus improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0052] In this embodiment, the cleaning basket 21 has a cylindrical structure.

[0053] In a specific embodiment of this application, the first accommodating space 23 is a cuboid structure.

[0054] In a specific embodiment of this application, the second accommodating space 24 is a cuboid structure.

[0055] In this embodiment, by setting the cleaning basket 21 as a cylindrical structure, the wind resistance during the rotation of the surface of the cleaning basket 21 is reduced, thereby reducing the rotation driving force of the cleaning basket 21 and improving the transmission stability between the first disk 12 and the second disk 22.

[0056] In this embodiment of the application, the cylindrical surface of the cleaning basket 21 is provided with a plurality of drainage holes.

[0057] In a specific embodiment of this application, the drain hole is an elongated drain hole.

[0058] In another specific embodiment of this application, the leakage hole is a circular hole.

[0059] In this embodiment, multiple drainage holes are provided on the cylindrical surface of the washing basket 21, thereby enabling the water on the surface of the item to be washed to be spun dry during rotation, thus improving the convenience and continuity of washing.

[0060] In this embodiment, multiple drainage holes are arranged in an array on the column surface.

[0061] In this embodiment of the application, by arranging multiple drainage holes in an array on the cylindrical surface, the uniformity of water ejection is improved, thereby improving the uniformity of water removal.

[0062] In this embodiment of the application, the water storage tank 1 is provided with an overlapping tank wall 13, and the cleaning device 2 is provided with an overlapping flange 25, which overlaps with the overlapping tank wall 13.

[0063] In this embodiment, by setting an overlapping pool wall 13 inside the water storage tank 1 to cooperate with the overlapping flange 25 of the cleaning device 2, the hardware connection between the cleaning device 2 and the water storage tank 1 is avoided. The assembly of the cleaning device 2 is completed solely by the overlapping, the suction between the first disk 12 and the second disk 22. There is no need to open a drive connection hole at the bottom of the water storage tank 1, thereby reducing the sealing cost of the water tank and the laying cost of the water tank. The cleaning device 2 and the water storage tank 1 are detachable, so that the cleaning device 2 can be disassembled when not needed, increasing the working space of the water storage tank 1 and thus improving the ease of use of the water tank.

[0064] The following describes the specific working principle of the water tank in the embodiments of this application: Assembly process: The overlapping flange 25 of the cleaning device 2 overlaps with the overlapping pool wall 13 so that the second disk 22 is positioned opposite the first disk 12. The transmission outer ring 221 of the second disk 22 will rotate under the action of attraction so that the second magnetic area 222 and its opposite magnetic area have the same magnetism, thereby attracting the cleaning device 2.

[0065] Cleaning process: The drive device 11 drives the first disk 12 to rotate. During the rotation of the first disk 12, the first magnetic area 122 and the corresponding second magnetic area 222 gradually misalign, thereby generating rotational torque, which drives the second disk 22 to rotate, and in turn drives the cleaning basket 21 to rotate, so as to clean the items to be cleaned in the cleaning basket 21.

[0066] Disassembly process: With the drive device 11 stopped rotating, an external force is applied upward to separate the overlapping flange 25 of the cleaning device 2 from the overlapping pool wall 13, thus completing the disassembly of the cleaning device 2.

[0067] The water tank in this embodiment of the application has the following beneficial effects: By installing a drive device 11 and a first disk 12 at the bottom of the water storage tank 1, and a corresponding second disk 22 on the cleaning device 2, the cleaning basket 21 is rotated through magnetic transmission between the first disk 12 and the second disk 22, thus achieving automatic cleaning of the items to be cleaned. At the same time, since magnetic transmission is used, there is no need to open a drive connection hole at the bottom of the water storage tank 1, thereby reducing the sealing cost of the water tank and the laying cost of the water tank. The cleaning device 2 and the water storage tank 1 are detachable, so that the cleaning device 2 can be disassembled when not needed, increasing the working space of the water storage tank 1 and thus improving the ease of use of the water tank.

[0068] This application also provides a kitchen appliance, which includes a sink as described in this application. The beneficial effects of the kitchen appliance are the same as those of the sink in this application, and will not be described in detail here.
