Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of dishwasher technology, and in particular relates to a novel dishwasher and kitchen system. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of residents' living standards and the increasing demand for smart kitchens, dishwashers have become a core kitchen appliance for freeing up housework. Currently, the mainstream dishwashers on the market are mainly divided into three categories: built-in medium and large dishwashers, sink-integrated dishwashers, and small dishwashers with movable countertops. However, all types of products have insurmountable technical defects, which limit their widespread application in different kitchen scenarios.

[0003] In terms of installation compatibility and space utilization, built-in dishwashers require dedicated cabinet space, placing strict demands on kitchen layout. Adding one to an already renovated kitchen necessitates modifications to cabinets and piping, resulting in significant construction difficulties and high costs. While integrated sink dishwashers solve the space occupation problem, they are expensive and not suitable for later installation in already renovated homes. Small, movable countertop dishwashers are easy to install, but they occupy valuable countertop space, have limited capacity, and require manual water connection and drainage, greatly reducing their practicality. Furthermore, the space above the kitchen sink is often unused, and current technology fails to effectively utilize this area, leading to a serious waste of space resources.

[0004] In terms of functional integration and structural design, existing dishwashers and instant hot water faucets are mostly independently installed, each equipped with its own heating device and water supply pipeline. This results in redundant kitchen appliance structures, large space occupation, and the need for separate piping and electrical wiring during installation, leading to poor compatibility. In addition, the water pressure sensor switches used in existing instant hot water faucets mostly adopt a high-voltage contact spring structure, which is prone to sparking, blackening, and failure after long-term use, indicating insufficient durability and safety.

[0005] In terms of dish rack design and tableware protection, although existing dishwashers' static dish racks can hold multiple sets of tableware at once, the tableware is placed side by side, which, compared to covering, easily creates blind spots for cleaning. Moreover, the tableware is only fixed to the dish rack by clips, and if high-pressure water is used for rinsing during the washing process, it is easy to be impacted, displaced, collided, or even broken, increasing the risk of use.

[0006] In terms of cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect, existing dishwashers generally adopt a static rack and rotating nozzle working mode. The water jet is mostly a linear water flow at normal pressure, which has a weak water impact force and is difficult to penetrate the gaps between stacked dishes. It is easy to form cleaning dead corners in areas such as the inside and bottom of the dishes, making it difficult to achieve a thorough cleaning. Moreover, due to the limitations of water flow characteristics and movement mode, the cleaning time of existing dishwashers is usually as long as tens of minutes. They lack the coordinated design of rotation and oscillation, which cannot meet users' needs for quick cleaning.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of dishwasher that can effectively utilize unused kitchen space, is easy to install, has high functional integration, high cleaning efficiency, and is safe and reliable, in order to solve the many problems existing in the current technology. Summary of the Invention

[0032] A kitchen system includes the aforementioned dishwasher, which is mounted above the sink area via its support integration module.

[0033] The present invention, by adopting the above-described technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] This invention uses a support integration module to fix the dishwasher body to the unused space above the sink, completely freeing up cabinet and countertop space without interfering with the normal use of the sink. It is especially suitable for small kitchens and the installation needs of already renovated kitchens, solving the core pain point of unreasonable space occupation of existing products.

[0035] This invention integrates dishwasher rinsing, instant hot water faucet water supply and heating functions into one unit, sharing the same heating device and water supply pipeline. It eliminates the redundant design of the traditional two independent heating systems, simplifies the overall structure, reduces manufacturing costs and installation complexity, and achieves efficient energy utilization.

[0036] This invention employs a synergistic design of a rotating bowl basket and a high-pressure fan-shaped oscillating nozzle, which allows water to impact the inner and outer surfaces of the bowls at an angle, achieving thorough rinsing without dead angles and significantly shortening the cleaning time. The high-pressure fan-shaped water flow has high energy concentration and can directly remove stubborn oil stains without relying on special detergents, reducing usage costs and avoiding chemical residues.

[0037] This invention employs a water-electricity isolation functional channel design, with the heating tube terminals achieving insulation and sealing through waterproof colloid potting. Combined with a water temperature sensor and water flow sensor, it constructs over-temperature protection and water shortage protection mechanisms. The heating chamber is directly connected to the solenoid valve's water outlet and water supply source, forming dual pressure relief protection, physically eliminating the risk of explosion during enclosed heating. The clamping design of the dish rack assembly effectively prevents tableware from being damaged during washing, comprehensively improving the product's safety and reliability.

[0038] The detachable mounting base of this invention is compatible with standard sink faucet interfaces and newly drilled holes in the countertop, allowing for quick installation without altering the existing kitchen structure. The position adjustment mechanism enables stepless adjustment of the dishwasher's horizontal position, flexibly adapting to different wall and sink spacing differences, significantly reducing installation difficulty.

[0039] The present invention adopts a modular architecture design. The functional components supporting the integrated module, such as heating device, faucet water dispensing component, and position adjustment mechanism, can be optionally combined to form different configuration levels such as basic installation version, heating version, and full-function integrated version. This not only lowers the purchase threshold of entry-level products, but also meets the needs of high-end users for multi-functional integration, significantly improving the market adaptability of the product.

Detailed Implementation

[0099] This invention provides a novel dishwasher, which comprises a dishwasher body 10 and three main modules: a support integration module, a cleaning execution module, and a drive control module. The invention is illustrated by describing in detail different embodiments of the different modules.

[0100] I. Supports multiple configurations of integrated modules

[0101] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the dishwasher body 10 forms a closed cleaning chamber 17 inside. The cleaning execution module is located inside the dishwasher body 10 and is used to clean the items to be cleaned under water supply conditions. The support integration module is connected to the bottom of the dishwasher body 10 and is used to support and fix the dishwasher body 10 in the space above the kitchen sink 14 area. The bottom of the support integration module is provided with a detachable installation mechanism, which is used to fix the dishwasher body 14 or the mounting hole on the kitchen countertop. The drive control module is electrically connected to the electrical components of the cleaning execution module and the support integration module to realize the automatic control of the whole machine and control the overall operation of the dishwasher to complete the cleaning of the items to be cleaned.

[0102] like Figures 4 to 17 As shown, the support integration module is the core of the present invention to achieve modification-free installation and functional integration. It adopts a modular architecture design, including a basic support unit, as well as a position adjustment mechanism, heating device 30 and faucet water discharge assembly 40 that can be selected as needed. Each component is independently packaged and has universal interfaces, which can be freely combined to form complete products with different configurations. The following describes it in detail through different embodiments.

[0103] It should be noted that the following embodiments are illustrative of various implementations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims. For specific implementation details of the functional modules in this application, please refer to the related patent applications filed by the applicant on the same day.

[0104] Example 1: This example is a basic configuration to support the integrated module, including only the core required modules, to meet the installation and basic media transmission requirements of the dishwasher.

[0105] like Figures 14 to 15 As shown, the support integration module in this embodiment only uses basic support units, which include:

[0106] Support tube 11: It is hollow and has a fixed interface at the top that is compatible with the dishwasher body 10. It is used to support and securely connect the dishwasher body 10 and provide force support for the whole machine. The support tube 11 and the bottom shell 16 of the dishwasher body 10 can be connected by an integrated structure or a split structure through a rotating sleeve.

[0107] In this embodiment, the support tube 11 supports the dishwasher body 10, so that there is a certain height h between it and the mounting plane, 100mm≤h≤500mm.

[0108] Mounting base 12: Fixed to the bottom end of support tube 11, forming a detachable mounting mechanism that can be detachably and securely connected to the standard faucet mounting interface of the sink 14 body or a new opening in the kitchen countertop, without requiring any changes to the existing kitchen decoration during installation.

[0109] Furthermore, the mounting base 12 is provided with a hollow threaded pipe 15 that can be used as a water pipe. When fixing the support pipe 11, the hollow threaded pipe 15 on the mounting base 12 is inserted into the mounting hole and tightened by the locking nut 74. Alternatively, the mounting base 12 can be fixed to the mounting surface using bolts.

[0110] Functional channels: integrated inside the support tube 11, including a water inlet channel 13 and a power distribution channel that are isolated from each other; wherein, the water inlet channel 13 is used to transmit the water required for cleaning to the dishwasher body 10, and the power distribution channel is used for the power distribution cable to run through and transmit power to the dishwasher body 10, so as to achieve water and electricity isolation and improve the safety of use.

[0111] The installation process in this embodiment is as follows: Fix the mounting base 12 to the original faucet mounting hole in the sink 14 or a newly drilled hole in the countertop using nuts. After fixing the support tube 11 to the mounting base 12, connect the dishwasher body 10 to the top of the support tube 11. Connect the water inlet channel 13 to the kitchen water supply line to complete the installation. This method is suitable for scenarios with simple functional requirements and a focus on low-cost installation.

[0112] Example 2: This example adds a position adjustment mechanism to the structure of Example 1 to solve the adaptation problem of inconsistent spacing between different kitchen walls and sink 14.

[0113] like Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 10 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the position adjustment mechanism is a curved connecting pipe 20 that can rotate around its own axis, such as an S-shaped connecting pipe or a Z-shaped connecting pipe. It has a first connecting end 21 and a second connecting end 22 that are arranged opposite to each other. The central axes of the first connecting end 21 and the second connecting end 22 have a preset offset α in the horizontal direction, so that when the position adjustment mechanism rotates around its own axis, the relative horizontal position of the first connecting end 21 and the second connecting end 22 changes. The value of the preset offset α can be between 20mm and 100mm. In this embodiment, the preset offset α is 55mm. The position adjustment mechanism can be installed in one of the following two locations:

[0114] 1. Installed between the mounting base 12 and the support tube 11: The first connecting end 21 is fixed to the mounting base 12, and the second connecting end 22 is sleeved with the support tube 11. After rotation, it is fixed by the locking part 23. The locking part 23 can be fixed by locking nuts or bolts.

[0115] 2. Installed between the support tube 11 and the dishwasher body 10: The first connecting end 21 is fixed to the top of the support tube 11, and the second connecting end 22 is connected to the dishwasher body 10. After rotation, it is fixed by the locking piece 23.

[0116] The core advantage of this embodiment is that after installation, the horizontal position of the dishwasher body 10 relative to the sink 14 or the wall can be adjusted by rotating and bending the connecting pipe 20. This adapts to sinks 14 of different depths or differences in kitchen space, requiring no additional modifications to the installation environment and significantly improving adaptability. It is suitable for scenarios with compact kitchen layouts and special distances between the sink 14 and the wall.

[0117] Example 3: This example adds a heating device 30 to the structure of Example 1 or Example 2 to realize the water heating function and improve the cleaning effect of the dishwasher. The specific structure of the heating device 30 is as follows.

[0118] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the heating device 30 includes a heating tube 32 and a heating chamber plug 33. The lower opening of the support tube 11 is adapted to the heating chamber plug 33. The heating chamber plug 33 is inserted into the pipe opening at the end of the support tube 11 and cooperates with the water inlet channel 13 to form a heating chamber 31. At least one annular groove is opened on the outer cylindrical surface of the heating chamber plug 33 inserted into the support tube 11 for installing sealing rings 76 or sealing bushings and other sealing elements to prevent water leakage. When the heating chamber plug 33 is assembled in place, the sealing element is subjected to radial compression, and an elastic interference fit is generated between the inner wall of the heating chamber shell and the outer circular surface of the heating chamber plug 33, thereby achieving a reliable waterproof seal.

[0119] The heating chamber 31 has an inlet for water to flow in and an outlet for water to flow out. The inlet is connected to the heating chamber plug 33, and the outlet is connected to the faucet water outlet assembly 40 and / or the water supply assembly 70 for washing dishes.

[0120] The heating tube 32 is used to heat the water flowing through the heating chamber 31. Its main body is placed inside the heating chamber 31, while the electrical terminals of the heating tube 32 and the electrical connection parts of the protection device (such as the water temperature sensor 37) are located outside the heating chamber 31 to avoid direct contact with the water.

[0121] The heating chamber 31 has a columnar mounting post 311 on its axial outer end face. The mounting post 311 is hollow and communicates with the heating chamber 31. The terminal post 321 of the heating tube 32 extends from one side of the heating chamber 31 into the mounting post 311 for fitting and is locked with a nut. A waterproof gasket is provided between the bottom surface of the terminal post 321 and the end face of the heating chamber 31 to prevent water from leaking through the mounting post 311. The height of the mounting post 311 exceeds the top of the terminal post 321. After the heating tube 32 is assembled, waterproof glue can be injected into the hollow part of the mounting post 311. The waterproof glue can be epoxy resin, silicone, or other curable potting glue, and it can immerse the terminal post 321. This can further prevent water leakage from the heating chamber 31 and also provide physical protection for the exposed terminal post 321, preventing short circuits or leakage caused by loose or damaged wires or water splashing.

[0122] The probe end of the water temperature sensor 37 extends into the heating chamber 31 and comes into direct contact with the water. It is used to collect water temperature data in the heating chamber 31 in real time, and its signal is transmitted to the drive control module to form a water temperature detection and over-temperature protection circuit.

[0123] The water temperature sensor 37 detects the water temperature in the heating chamber 31 in real time. During the heating process, the drive control module obtains the real-time water temperature signal through the water temperature sensor 37. Based on the set temperature threshold, the drive control module controls the on / off state of the heating tube 32 in real time to achieve precise control of the water temperature, ensuring that the water temperature remains stable within a safe range and avoiding overheating that could cause safety hazards.

[0124] The heating chamber plug 33 integrates multiple functions such as water supply, wiring, and sensor installation. It has an axially connected plug inlet 331 and plug outlet 332. The plug inlet 331 is connected to an external cold water source via a pipeline, and the plug outlet 332 is connected to the interior of the heating chamber 31, allowing for smooth flow of cold water into the heating chamber 31. If the pressure inside the heating chamber 31 exceeds the external water supply pressure due to continuous heating, the pressure inside the heating chamber 31 will force the water out towards the plug outlet 332, balancing the pressure inside the heating chamber 31 with the external water supply pressure and preventing the heating chamber 31 from exploding due to excessive pressure. If the water supply pipeline is equipped with a check valve, causing the pressure inside the heating chamber to be unable to balance with the external water supply pressure, when the pressure exceeds the pressure resistance value of the solenoid valve 78, the pressure will force open the solenoid valve 78 and release, avoiding the risk of overpressure explosion in this special situation.

[0125] The heating chamber plug 33 has a magnetic rotor receiving cavity 333 inside. The water inlet end of the magnetic rotor receiving cavity 333 is fixedly provided with a spiral blade 361 for generating eddies. The magnetic rotor 34 is provided inside the magnetic rotor receiving cavity 333. The two ends of its rotating shaft 341 are supported by coaxial bushings a36. The bushings a36 are located on the water inlet end of the inner wall of the magnetic rotor receiving cavity 333 (with the spiral blade 361 at the same center) and on the outer cover plate 35. The cover plate 35 is fixed to the outside of the heating chamber plug 33 by bolts, thereby encapsulating the magnetic rotor 34 inside the magnetic rotor receiving cavity 333 and allowing the two ends of its rotating shaft 341 to rotate freely around the bushings a36.

[0126] A magnetic induction Hall effect device is installed on the mounting bracket 334 on the outer side of the magnetic rotor receiving cavity 333 of the heating chamber plug 33. This device is used to detect the rotation signal of the magnetic rotor 34. The magnetic induction Hall effect device and the magnetic rotor 34 together constitute a water flow sensing device (i.e., a water flow sensor). When water flows in from the plug inlet 331, it first impacts the spiral blades 361 to form a rotating vortex. This vortex drives the magnetic rotor 34 to rotate synchronously. The change in the magnetic field generated by this rotation provides the signal basis for the detection of the magnetic induction Hall effect device. The magnetic induction Hall effect device sends the water flow velocity in the form of a pulse wave to the drive control module, which then uses this pulse wave to determine whether there is water flow and its magnitude. The frequency of this pulse wave represents the speed of the water flow; a zero pulse wave indicates that the water flow is still. When the solenoid valve 78 or the valve core assembly 42 is in the water supply state, if the drive control module does not detect a pulse signal sent by the magnetic induction Hall device, it is determined that the external water supply is short of water. The drive control module immediately cuts off the power supply to the heating tube 32 to prevent the heating tube 32 from burning dry and being damaged, thus realizing the water shortage protection function.

[0127] In addition, the cover plate 35 is also provided with a guide vane (located at the outlet 332 of the plug) with the same rotation direction as the spiral vane 361 on the water inlet side. After the water flows through this guide vane, it enters the heating chamber 31 in the form of a rotating vortex, which helps to achieve uniform heating and improve heating efficiency.

[0128] The side wall of the plug is also provided with a cable pass-through port 335, which is used for the passage of power distribution cables such as Hall effect device signal lines and power supply lines.

[0129] The core advantages of this embodiment are: the functions of heating, water flow sensing, and water temperature detection are highly integrated into the support tube 11 and the heating chamber plug 33, resulting in a compact and simple structure with high space utilization; the use of terminal block 321 for waterproofing and water-electricity isolation ensures safety and reliability; the dual sensing of water flow and temperature enables protection against dry burning and overheating, making operation safer; the vortex water flow design makes heating more uniform and efficient, and the chamber has its own pressure balancing structure, eliminating the need for an additional pressure relief valve; the overall modular design allows it to share a heat source with the dishwasher and faucet water circuits, and the centralized wiring layout is standardized, resulting in higher adaptability and assembly efficiency.

[0130] Example 4: This example adds a faucet water dispensing component 40 to the structure of Example 1, Example 2 or Example 3 to realize the integrated design of the dishwasher and the faucet, and improve the synergy of kitchen functions. The specific structure is as follows.

[0131] like Figures 4 to 8 , Figures 11 to 13As shown, the faucet water dispensing assembly 40 includes a valve core cavity 41, a valve core assembly 42, a faucet outlet pipe 43, and a pressure sensing assembly 48. The valve core cavity 41 has three interfaces: a valve core inlet 45, a valve core outlet 46, and a water pressure chamber inlet 47. The valve core inlet 45 is connected to the water inlet channel 13, the valve core outlet 46 is connected to the faucet spout 44 through the faucet outlet pipe 43, and the water pressure chamber inlet 47 is connected to the pressure chamber of the pressure sensing assembly 48. The valve core assembly 42 is installed inside the valve core cavity 41 and has a switch handle and a valve core for controlling the water circuit status (it can supply hot water when used with a heating device 30, and only outputs cold water when used alone). The valve core assembly 42 is an existing product and will not be described further in this application.

[0132] In this embodiment, the hot and cold water output state of the faucet water dispensing component 40 is adjusted by moving the switch handle of the valve core component 42, as follows:

[0133] In cold water mode, the valve core assembly 42 connects the valve core outlet 46 to the heating chamber 31, while disconnecting the water flow from the pressure chamber inlet 47. At this time, the pressure chamber of the pressure sensing component 48 has no water pressure or very low pressure, causing the switch to open and cutting off the power supply to the heating element 32, thus stopping heating. Water flows through the heating chamber 31 but is not heated, flowing directly from the tap as cold water.

[0134] When in hot water mode, the valve core assembly 42 is activated so that both the valve core outlet 46 and the water pressure chamber inlet 47 are connected to the heating chamber 31. At this time, water flows simultaneously to the faucet and the pressurized chamber of the pressure sensing assembly 48. Under the pressure of the incoming water, the pressure sensing assembly 48 closes, connecting the power supply circuit to the heating element 32 and initiating heating. The water is heated as it passes through the heating chamber 31 and ultimately flows out as hot water from the faucet outlet 44.

[0135] In this invention, the pressure sensing component 48 adopts a low-voltage tactile structure, replacing the traditional high-voltage contact spring switch, thus avoiding problems such as sparking and blackening failure after long-term use. The drive control module detects whether the current state is in hot water output mode by the closed and open states of this tactile switch.

[0136] This invention allows the heating device 30 to simultaneously support the output of hot water from the water supply component 70 and the faucet dispensing component 40. The drive control module determines the start and stop of the heating device 30 under the coordinated operation of both components according to the following table:

[0137] Pressure sensor switch status Is it in the dishwashing hot water rinsing state? Drive control module situation disconnect no No heating situation disconnect yes heating situation closure no heating situation closure yes heating

[0138] The core advantage of this embodiment is that the faucet and dishwasher share the water inlet channel 13, eliminating the need for an additional independent faucet and optimizing the kitchen space layout; the faucet water output can be independently controlled through the valve core assembly 42, making it convenient to operate and suitable for scenarios that pursue integrated kitchen functions and simple piping.

[0139] II. Cleaning Execution Module and Drive Control Module

[0140] The above embodiments 1-4 describe various hardware configurations of the present invention from the perspective of supporting integrated modules. Regardless of the configuration, the cleaning execution module and drive control module inside the dishwasher body adopt the following unified design to achieve efficient cleaning function.

[0141] The overall composition and synergistic relationships are as follows:

[0142] like Figures 18 to 21 As shown, the cleaning execution module is located inside the dishwasher body 10 and includes a dish rack assembly 50, a spray assembly 60 and a water supply assembly 70. The drive control module includes a first drive assembly 80 and a second drive assembly 90.

[0143] During the cleaning process, the first drive assembly 80 drives the dish rack assembly 50 to rotate, and the second drive assembly 90 drives at least one nozzle unit of the spray assembly 60 to perform a scanning motion (such as reciprocating oscillation or continuous rotation). The power source for the scanning motion can be shared with the power source for the rotation of the dish rack assembly 50 (e.g., by taking power from the first drive assembly 80 through gears or a timing belt), or it can be set independently. The coordinated movement of the two ensures that within one or more rotations of the rotating basket 51, the fan-shaped high-pressure water jets sprayed by the nozzles can achieve a thorough scanning rinse of the inner and outer surfaces of the dishes to be cleaned, thus achieving a fast and efficient cleaning effect.

[0144] The specific structure of the bowl basket assembly 50 is as follows:

[0145] The dish rack assembly 50 is rotatably installed inside the washing chamber 17 to hold and secure the dishes to be washed. The washing chamber 17 includes an inner liner 102 and a cover shell 101. The inner liner 102 and the cover shell 101 combine to form a receiving cavity, which, together with the chamber cover 103, forms a relatively enclosed washing space for accommodating the dishes to be washed. The bottom of the washing chamber 17 has a mounting hole 18 for mounting the drive shaft 98 of the second drive assembly 90. Simultaneously, the bottom of the washing chamber 17 also has a drain outlet 19 connecting to the outside of the machine body. The drain outlet 19 is connected to an external drain pipe. Since no internal circulating filtration system is used, wastewater and food residue generated during the washing process can be directly discharged through the drain outlet 19, avoiding pipe blockage and residue accumulation problems caused by food residue buildup. Therefore, there is no need for tedious pre-cleaning of the dishes; efficient cleaning can be achieved simply by placing them, reducing the user's operational threshold.

[0146] like Figures 20 to 22 As shown, a basket assembly 50 is connected to the middle of the cleaning chamber 17 via a rotating shaft 83. The basket assembly 50 includes a transmission component 52, a rotating basket 51, and a clamping component 53.

[0147] The support rod 511, connecting ring 514, and dish rack retainer ring 513 constitute the perforated mesh structure of the rotating basket 51. This structure allows for the placement of dishes to be washed without stacking and facilitates water flow through the mesh to rinse the surface of the dishes. The support rod 511 is arranged radially to prevent dishes from falling out of the rotating basket 51 or tilting. The dish rack retainer ring 513 is used to limit the movement of small dishes. At least one dish rack retainer ring 513 is provided, arranged in a ring around the center of the rotating basket 51. The design allows the invention to adapt to different sizes of items to be cleaned. When the item is large, it is placed in the rotating basket 51 and clamped for cleaning by the clamping assembly 53. When the item is small, it is placed in the basket retainer ring 513, which limits its position and clamps it for cleaning by the clamping assembly 53, thus preventing multiple bowls from colliding during cleaning and increasing the applicability of the invention. The size and number of the basket retainer rings 513 can be adjusted according to actual use. Both the support rod 511 and the basket retainer rings 513 are connected to the connecting ring 514. The connecting ring 514 increases the overall strength of the rotating basket 51 and facilitates the installation of the support rod 511 and the basket retainer rings 513.

[0148] The bottom of the rotating basket 51 is connected to the rotating shaft 83 of the first drive assembly 80 via the transmission component 52, and can rotate at a constant speed around its own axis. The first drive assembly 80 drives the transmission component 52 to rotate, and the transmission component 52 drives the clamping assembly 53 to clamp the dishes to be washed. The clamping assembly 53 drives the rotating basket 51 to rotate by clamping the dishes to be washed.

[0149] When rotating in the forward direction, the rotating shaft 83 of the first drive assembly 80 drives the transmission component 52 to rotate in the forward direction. The transmission component 52 drives the clamping assembly 53 to move towards the center of the rotating basket 51, thereby clamping the dishes to be washed in the rotating basket 51. After clamping, the clamping assembly 53 drives the rotating basket 51 to rotate.

[0150] When rotating in the reverse direction, the rotating shaft 83 of the first drive assembly 80 drives the transmission component 52 to rotate in the reverse direction. The transmission component 52 drives the clamping assembly 53 to move away from the center of the rotating basket 51, thereby releasing the dishes to be washed that are clamped in the rotating basket 51.

[0151] In order to enable the clamping assembly 53 to fully clamp and limit the workpiece to be cleaned, the clamping assembly 53 of the present invention is provided in at least two sets and is evenly distributed around the center of the rotating basket 51. In this embodiment, three sets of clamping assemblies 53 are preferred, which have strong stability and clamp and limit the workpiece to be cleaned under the synergistic action of the three sets of clamping assemblies 53.

[0152] Depending on the driving method of the clamping component, the present invention provides two feasible implementation schemes.

[0153] Option 1: The transmission component directly drives the clamping assembly.

[0154] like Figures 22 to 29 As shown, the transmission component 52 is connected to the clamping assembly 53. The transmission component 52 is used to transmit driving force, and the transmission component 52 and the rotating basket 51 are coaxially arranged on the rotating shaft 83. The rotating basket 51 is sleeved on the outside of the rotation damper 54, which generates rotational resistance on the rotating basket 51. During operation, when rotating in the forward direction, the transmission component 52 drives the clamping assembly 53 to move towards the center of the rotating basket 51, thereby clamping the dishes to be washed. After clamping, the clamping assembly 53 overcomes the resistance of the rotation damper 54 and drives the rotating basket 51 to rotate together. When rotating in the reverse direction, the transmission component 52 drives the clamping assembly 53 to move away from the center of the rotating basket 51, releasing the dishes.

[0155] In this design, the clamping assembly 53 specifically includes a clamping element 531 and a pull rod 532. Both ends of the pull rod 532 are connected to the transmission rod 521 of the transmission component 52 and the clamping element 531 respectively (through hinges or interlocking mechanisms, such as...). Figure 29 (As shown). The clamping member 531 and the rotating basket 51 are connected by a hinge (the clamping member 531 is provided with a clamping stop bar 5311 and a hinge bar 5312, and the rotating basket 51 is provided with a hinge hole 512, in which the hinge bar 5312 is hinged); or they can be connected by a sliding method (see...). Figures 37-39 (and the following replacement structure description).

[0156] The connection method between the damping bushing a515 and the rotary damper 54 in this scheme is not limited to this. That is, the rotary damper 54 can be located outside the damping bushing a515, as long as the rotary damper 54 can generate a rotary damping force on the damping bushing a515.

[0157] In this scheme, the rotary damper 54 is a friction damper. The upper end face of the rotary damper 54 is pressed by the damping bushing a515 to generate rotational resistance, and the lower end face of the rotary damper 54 is pressed by the mounting base 55. The friction damper generates rotational frictional resistance when rotating.

[0158] In this scheme, the magnitude of the force by which the clamping assembly 53 clamps the part to be cleaned is proportional to the magnitude of the damping force applied by the rotary damper 54.

[0159] The usage process of this solution is as follows:

[0160] First, the parts to be cleaned are placed in the rotating basket 51. The drive source drives the rotating shaft 83 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission component 52 to rotate. The transmission component 52 pulls the pull rod 532 through the transmission rod 521, causing the clamping stop 5311 to move towards the center of the rotating basket 51. The parts to be cleaned in the rotating basket 51 are clamped by three sets of clamping components 53. After the clamping components 53 clamp, the clamping stop 5311 can no longer move towards the center of the rotating basket 51. At this time, the clamping components 53 will overcome the rotational damping force acting on the rotating basket 51 and drive the rotating basket 51 to rotate. The parts to be cleaned are rinsed by the water flow in the cleaning machine. After cleaning, the rotating shaft 83 is reversed, and the transmission component 52 drives the clamping components 53 to move away from the center of the rotating basket 51, thereby releasing the parts to be cleaned that were clamped in the rotating basket 51 and completing the cleaning process. Throughout the process, the rotational resistance of the rotation damper 54 always acts on the rotating basket 51 to prevent the clamping components 53 from loosening due to the weight of the parts to be cleaned.

[0161] Option 2: Rotating basket drives clamping assembly:

[0162] like Figures 30 to 36 As shown, the transmission component 52 is directly connected to the rotating basket 51 (for example, the transmission rod 521 is fixed to the rotating basket 51, and the transmission component 52 can be integrally formed with the rotating basket 51).

[0163] The clamping assembly 53 includes a clamping member 531 and a pull rod 532 connected to each other. The clamping member 531 is movably connected to the rotating basket 51. The rotation of the rotating basket 51 causes the clamping member 531 to clamp the part to be cleaned by the pull rod 532. The damping bushing b533 is connected to the connecting rod 5331. The clamping assembly 53 is connected to the connecting rod 5331 through the pull rod 532, thereby realizing the connection between the clamping assembly 53 and the damping bushing b533. The damping bushing b533 is sleeved on the rotary damper 54. The rotary damper 54 acts on the damping bushing b533 to generate a rotational damping force on the clamping assembly 53. Furthermore, the rotary damper 54 is mounted on the mounting base 55, and the damping bushing b533 is sleeved on the outside of the rotary damper 54 and the mounting base 55.

[0164] During operation, the transmission component 52 drives the rotating basket 51 to rotate in the forward direction. The rotating basket 51, through the pull rod 532 and other transmission components, drives the clamping assembly 53 to move towards the center, thereby clamping the bowl. When rotating in the reverse direction, it releases.

[0165] The connection method between the damping bushing b533 and the rotary damper 54 in this scheme is not limited to this. That is, the rotary damper 54 can be located outside the damping bushing b533, as long as the rotary damper 54 can generate a rotary damping force on the damping bushing b533.

[0166] In this design, the two ends of the pull rod 532 can be connected to the clamping member 531 and the connecting rod 5331 respectively by means of hinge or interlocking.

[0167] The usage process of this solution is as follows:

[0168] First, the part to be cleaned is placed in the rotating basket 51. The drive source drives the rotating shaft 83 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission component 52 to rotate. The transmission component 52 drives the rotating basket 51 to rotate via the transmission rod 521. The rotation of the rotating basket 51 causes the hinge rod 5312 to rotate around the hinge hole 512. Under the reverse pulling force of the connecting rod 5331, the clamping stop rod 5311 moves towards the center of the rotating basket 51. The part to be cleaned in the rotating basket 51 is clamped by the three sets of clamping components 53. After the clamping components 53 clamp the part to be cleaned, they will drive the damping bushing b533 to overcome the resistance generated by the rotating damper 54. The force rotates, and the water flow in the cleaning machine rinses the parts to be cleaned. After cleaning, the rotating shaft 83 is reversed, and the transmission component 52 drives the rotating basket 51 to rotate in the opposite direction. Under the reverse pulling force of the connecting rod 5331, the rotating basket 51 pushes the clamping assembly 53 to move away from the center of the rotating basket 51, thereby releasing the parts to be cleaned that are clamped in the rotating basket 51 and completing the cleaning process. Throughout the process, the rotational damping force of the rotating damper 54 always acts on the damping bushing b533. This damping force and the traction force generated by the rotation of the rotating basket 51 together form the clamping force and prevent the clamping assembly 53 from loosening due to the weight of the parts to be cleaned.

[0169] The present invention also provides a set of replacement structures for the clamping components 53, as follows:

[0170] like Figures 37 to 39 As shown, based on the above schemes one and two, the clamping assembly 53 can also adopt a sliding groove connection: that is, the clamping member 531 is provided with a clamping stop 5311 and a sliding block 5314. The sliding block 5314 is slidably connected to the support rod 511, and the pull rod 532 is connected to the sliding block 5314. The sliding block 5314 is provided with a corresponding sliding groove 5315. The sliding block 5314 moves back and forth along the support rod 511 through the sliding groove 5315, thereby driving the clamping member 53 to move back and forth, thereby driving the clamping member 531 to clamp or release. This structure can replace the hinge method and also achieve the clamping function.

[0171] The structures of the sprinkler assembly and water supply assembly are as follows:

[0172] The spray assembly 60 is used to spray high-pressure fan-shaped water jets onto the surface of the bowl. It includes at least one outer nozzle unit and at least one inner nozzle unit, and adopts a "top-bottom opposed, inside-outside coverage" layout design.

[0173] like Figures 18 to 21As shown, in this embodiment, both the external spray head unit and the internal spray head unit are designed as a single unit. The external spray head unit is installed on the top inner side of the washing chamber 17, located above or to the side of the rotating basket 51. It sprays a fan-shaped water stream toward the outer surface of the bowls and includes an external spray head mounting base 61 and an external spray head 62. The water inlet of the external spray head mounting base 61 is sealed and connected to the external spray head water pipe 72 of the water supply assembly 70. The external spray head 62 is installed obliquely downward in the external spray head mounting base 61, and the spray direction is toward the outer surface of the bowls carried on the bowl basket assembly 50. The fan-shaped water stream it sprays is configured at a non-perpendicular angle with the rotating basket 51 to enhance the effect of rinsing the outer surface of the bowls.

[0174] The inner spray unit is located below or to the side of the dish rack assembly 50, spraying a fan-shaped stream of water towards the inner surface of the dish. It includes an inner spray head mounting base 63 and an inner spray head 64. The water inlet of the inner spray head mounting base 63 is sealed to the inner spray head water pipe 73 of the water supply assembly 70. The inner spray head 64 is installed in the inner spray head mounting base 63, spraying towards the inner surface of the dish supported on the dish rack assembly 50. It should be noted that the outer spray head unit can use the same swing mechanism as the inner spray head unit, or it can be fixedly installed inside the washing chamber 17 using a fixed installation method.

[0175] The water supply assembly 70 provides rinsing water to the spray assembly 60 and includes a solenoid valve 78 and a water supply line. The solenoid valve 78 is installed on the main line of the water supply line and is used to control the on / off of the water supply line for the spray. The inlet of the solenoid valve 78 is directly connected to the heating chamber 31. When the pressure in the heating chamber increases due to heating and exceeds the pressure threshold of the solenoid valve 78, the pressurized water flow will open the internal valve of the solenoid valve 78 and release the pressure. In this embodiment, a solenoid valve with a pressure resistance of 0.6 MPa to 1 MPa is preferred.

[0176] The water supply pipeline includes two branches: an external nozzle water inlet pipe 72 and an internal nozzle water inlet pipe 73. In embodiments requiring high-pressure flushing, the water supply assembly 70 also includes a booster pump 71. The booster pump 71 can be a low-noise plunger pump, with its inlet connected to the external water supply pipeline and its outlet sealed to the main branch of the water supply pipeline. The booster pump 71 can pressurize the water flow to a design threshold of not less than 0.6 MPa, providing sufficient impact force for the fan-shaped water flow.

[0177] To achieve sealed installation and rotation of the inner nozzle unit, the inner nozzle unit is connected to a fixed water supply passage via a rotary sealing assembly. The water supply passage includes a connecting pipe section 77, which communicates with the inner nozzle water supply pipe 73. The rotary sealing assembly is located between the inner nozzle unit and the connecting pipe section 77. The core function of this rotary sealing assembly is to allow the inner nozzle mounting base 63 to drive the inner nozzle 64 to rotate freely around the connecting pipe section 77 to perform scanning motion, while preventing high-pressure water from leaking from the rotation joint.

[0178] In this embodiment, the connecting pipe section 77 and the inner nozzle water pipe 73 are integrally formed. They are fixedly connected by tightening a locking nut 74 with the threaded connection on the outer side of the cleaning chamber 17 wall. The connecting pipe section 77 is made of metal (such as copper or stainless steel). It should be noted that the aforementioned fixed water supply path is not limited to a single pipe component directly penetrating the chamber wall. In other embodiments, the water supply path may include a connecting base (e.g., a section of hollow metal pipe or a pipe fitting with a connecting flange) that penetrates and is fixed to the wall of the cleaning chamber 17. The inner nozzle water pipe 73 is then sealed to this connecting base. A rotary sealing assembly can also be disposed between the inner nozzle unit and the connecting base, and should be considered an equivalent technical solution.

[0179] The rotary sealing assembly includes a sealing plug 75 and a sealing ring 76 sleeved at the end of the connecting pipe section 77. The sealing ring 76 is located between the sealing plug 75 and the inner nozzle unit. The inner nozzle unit is threadedly tightened with the sealing plug 75, which axially presses the sealing ring 76 to form a reliable radial rotary seal. In this embodiment, the sealing ring 76 is a Step seal ring. The rotary sealing assembly is not limited to the above form. Any structure that can achieve water pipe fixation, nozzle rotation and sealing function is within the protection scope of this invention.

[0180] like Figure 20 and Figure 41 As shown, the first drive assembly 80 is connected to the basket assembly 50 and is used to provide driving force for the rotation of the basket assembly 50. It includes a drive motor 81 and a rotating shaft 83, which are connected by a transmission mechanism.

[0181] In one embodiment, the first drive assembly 80 further includes a mounting plate 82, wherein the mounting plate 82 is fixed to the outer bottom of the cleaning chamber 17 by bolts, the drive motor 81 is vertically mounted below the mounting plate 82 by bolts, the output shaft of the drive motor 81 passes through the mounting plate 82 and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 83 by a coupling, the upper end of the rotating shaft 83 extends into the cleaning chamber 17 and is fixedly connected to the transmission component 52 of the dish basket assembly 50, so that when the drive motor 81 drives the rotating shaft 83 to rotate, it synchronously drives the dish basket assembly 50 to rotate in the cleaning chamber 17.

[0182] like Figure 43 As shown, in another embodiment, the transmission mechanism includes correspondingly arranged synchronous pulleys 84, and the two synchronous pulleys 84 are connected by a synchronous belt to realize the connection between the drive motor 81 and the rotating shaft 83.

[0183] In another embodiment, the transmission mechanism between the drive motor 81 and the rotating shaft 83 can also use a meshing gear pair to transmit power.

[0184] The drive motor 81 in this invention is an integrated geared motor with a built-in worm gear reducer. Its output shaft is inserted into the shaft hole at the tail end of the rotating shaft 83 to achieve a shaft connection (e.g., fixed by a key or pin). The upper end of the rotating shaft 83 extends into the cleaning chamber 17 and is fixedly connected to the transmission component 52 of the dish basket assembly 50, so that when the drive motor 81 drives the rotating shaft 83 to rotate, it synchronously drives the dish basket assembly 50 to rotate within the cleaning chamber 17.

[0185] The transmission mechanism between the drive motor 81 and the rotating shaft 83 can be implemented in various forms. For example, a coupling connection or a shaft-hole mating connection can be used (such as...). Figure 41 As shown), synchronous belt drive (such as...) Figure 43 (As shown), gear pairs or worm gear reducers, etc. These transmission methods are all conventional techniques in this field, and those skilled in the art can choose the appropriate method according to actual needs.

[0186] The second drive assembly 90 is used to drive the scanning motion of the inner nozzle unit. Its power source can be shared with the first drive assembly 80 (i.e., it draws power from the first drive assembly) or it can be set independently (i.e., it has a separate motor). This embodiment takes a shared power source as an example and describes two implementation schemes for the scanning motion. It achieves a scanning-type covering rinse of the inside of the bowl with water flow, and includes a power mechanism and a transmission conversion mechanism connected in sequence. The transmission conversion mechanism is connected to the inner nozzle unit. The power mechanism outputs power and transmits the power through the transmission conversion mechanism to drive the scanning motion of the inner nozzle unit.

[0187] Option 1: Reciprocating oscillation, as detailed below:

[0188] like Figures 40 to 43 As shown, the power mechanism includes a main drive gear 910 and a driven gear 91. The main drive gear 910 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 83 and rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 83. The driven gear 91 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 82, and the gear part of the driven gear 91 meshes with the main drive gear 910. Specifically, the number of teeth of the main drive gear 910 is greater than the number of teeth of the driven gear 91 to achieve speed-increasing transmission, so that the oscillation frequency of the nozzle is higher than the rotation frequency of the bowl assembly 50.

[0189] In this design, the transmission gear 91 adopts an eccentric wheel structure to realize the reciprocating oscillation of the inner nozzle 64 driven by the transmission conversion mechanism.

[0190] The transmission mechanism includes a swing arm 92, a swing fork arm 93, a shaft hole support 94, and a swing arm shaft 95. One end of the driven gear 91 is fitted into the shaft hole on the mounting plate 82, and the other end is fitted into the shaft hole of the shaft hole support 94. Specifically, the driven gear 91 is provided with an eccentric wheel structure, which meshes with the main drive gear 910. The eccentric wheel structure of the driven gear 91 fits into the elliptical groove on the swing arm 92. One end of the swing arm shaft 95 is fitted into the shaft hole on the mounting plate 82, and the other end is fitted into the shaft hole of the shaft hole support 94, so that the swing arm 92 can rotate around the swing arm shaft 95. When the main drive gear 910 rotates, it drives the eccentric wheel structure fixedly connected to the driven gear 91 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the transmission arm to swing back and forth.

[0191] The swing fork arm 93 is fixed to one end of the swing arm 92 by a pin 931. The two ends of the swing fork arm 93 are provided with symmetrically arranged pins 931, and a limiting space 932 is formed between the two pins 931. The axis of the pin 931 is perpendicular to the swing plane of the swing arm 92, so that the swing fork arm 93 swings together with the swing arm 92, and the swing fork arm 93 can rotate relative to the swing arm 92 around the pin 931. The first-level power transmission of the transmission conversion mechanism is realized through the swing fork arm 93, which converts the rotational motion of the transmission gear 91 into the reciprocating swing motion of the swing fork arm 93.

[0192] The transmission conversion mechanism also includes a rocker arm 96, a connecting arm 97, a transmission shaft 98, and a bushing b961. The bushing b961 is sleeved on the rocker arm 96 and embedded in the limiting space 932 of the swing fork arm 93. When the swing fork arm 93 moves back and forth with the swing arm 92, it can drive the rocker arm 96 to swing back and forth. One end of the connecting arm 97 is fixedly connected to the rocker arm 96, and the other end is connected to the transmission shaft 98 through a flat key. The transmission shaft 98 passes through the mounting hole 18 at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 17 and is installed in conjunction with the mounting hole 18 through the bearing 99. The transmission shaft 98 is connected to the inner nozzle mounting seat 63 through a flat key, which can drive the inner nozzle mounting seat 63 and the inner nozzle 64 to swing back and forth, thereby realizing the two-stage power transmission of the transmission conversion mechanism, converting the reciprocating swing motion of the swing arm 92 into the reciprocating swing motion of the inner nozzle 64.

[0193] Option 2: Continuous Rotation

[0194] like Figures 44 to 49 As shown, this solution adopts a different design for the scanning method of the nozzle. Unlike the reciprocating oscillating type, this solution uses a rotary nozzle scanning method.

[0195] Specifically, the transmission conversion mechanism includes a primary power gear 911 and a secondary rotary gear 912. The primary power gear 911 and the driven gear 91 are connected by a key and rotate synchronously to realize the primary power transmission of the transmission conversion mechanism. The secondary rotary gear 912 meshes with the primary power gear 911 to realize the secondary power transmission of the transmission conversion mechanism. The secondary rotary gear 912 is threadedly connected to the inner nozzle mounting seat 63 in the inner nozzle unit through a sealing plug 75 and locked by a positioning screw to prevent the sealing plug 75 from reversing and falling out, thereby driving the inner nozzle 64 to rotate.

[0196] In this design, the sealing plug 75 can be fixed to the secondary rotating gear 912 using either an integrated structure or a separate structure.

[0197] In this design, the rotation axis of the inner nozzle mounting base 63 is at an angle to the spray center line of the inner nozzle 64, so that a larger rinsing area can be achieved by rotating the inner nozzle 64 one revolution.

[0198] In this solution, the water supply passage is fixed differently from that in Embodiment 1. The connecting pipe section 77 is fixed to a bracket connected to the wall of the cleaning chamber 17, and this bracket serves as a fixing structure to securely install the water supply passage. Similarly, a rotary sealing assembly is located between the inner nozzle unit and the connecting pipe section 77 to achieve a rotary seal for the inner nozzle unit.

[0199] Similarly, a rotary sealing assembly is located between the inner nozzle 64 unit and the connecting pipe section 77 to achieve a rotary seal for the inner nozzle 64 unit. In this scheme, the power relationship between the first drive assembly 80 and the second drive assembly 90 can also share a power source or have an independent power source, and the specific method is the same as in Scheme 1.

[0200] Taking an embodiment equipped with a reciprocating oscillating internal nozzle as an example, the typical cleaning process of the cleaning execution module and drive control module in this invention is as follows:

[0201] 1. Place the dishes to be washed without stacking them in the rotating basket 51, and close the cover 103 of the washing chamber 17 to form a relatively sealed space in the washing chamber.

[0202] 2. The control module is activated to start the cleaning process.

[0203] 3. If a heating device 30 is provided, the drive control module will start heating according to the preset water temperature.

[0204] 4. Start the drive motor 81. The drive motor 81 rotates forward and drives the rotating shaft 83 to rotate the rotating basket 51 at a constant speed. The bowl basket assembly 50 clamps and drives the bowls to be washed to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the meshing of the main drive gear 910 and the driven gear 91 drives the second drive assembly 90, causing the inner nozzle 64 to start to swing back and forth.

[0205] 5. If the water temperature reaches the preset temperature, open the solenoid valve 78 (if equipped with a booster pump 71, the drive control module will start the booster pump 71 at the preset water pressure to start the flushing water supply).

[0206] 6. Water flows through the outer nozzle water pipe 72 and the inner nozzle water pipe 73 to the outer nozzle 62 and the inner nozzle 64 respectively. The two nozzles spray out fan-shaped high-pressure water jets at the same time. The water jet from the outer nozzle 62 impacts the outer surface of the bowl, and the water jet from the inner nozzle 64 impacts the inner surface of the bowl.

[0207] 7. The uniform rotation of the rotating basket 51 and the reciprocating swing of the inner nozzle 64 work together to make the water curtain formed by the fan-shaped water flow contact the surface of the bowl at an angle, so as to achieve full coverage rinsing of the bowl surface. The wastewater generated during rinsing is directly discharged through the drain outlet 19.

[0208] 8. After the preset rinsing time is completed, turn off the heating device 30 (if equipped), the booster pump 71 (if equipped), and close the solenoid valve 78 to shut off the rinsing water flow.

[0209] 9. The drive control module controls the drive motor 81 to reverse for the expected duration, and then releases the bowl and stops rotating.

[0210] 10. Open the lid 103 and take out the dishes to complete the cleaning.

[0211] If a continuously rotating internal nozzle is used, the working process is similar, the difference being that the internal nozzle 64 rotates continuously instead of oscillating back and forth.

[0212] The drive control module generates cleaning modes of varying intensities based on preset water temperature, water pressure, and cleaning duration, allowing users to choose the appropriate mode to suit a variety of cleaning scenarios.

[0213] It should be noted that the order of the above steps is not strictly required, and the order of some steps can be adjusted according to the actual working conditions. For example, the booster water pump 71 can be turned on after the drive motor 81 is started; or the booster water pump 71 can be turned on before the drive motor 81 is started. As long as the rapid cleaning of the dishes can be achieved, any adjustment of the order of steps should be considered as an equivalent embodiment of the present invention.

[0214] This invention uses a high-pressure fan-shaped water flow, combined with the coordinated movement of the rotating basket 51 and the swinging of the inner nozzle 64, to achieve thorough cleaning of the inner and outer surfaces of the bowls and utensils without dead angles. It can also quickly complete the cleaning process, significantly improving cleaning efficiency compared to existing technologies. Furthermore, it can quickly remove stubborn oil stains without the need for special detergents.

[0215] It should be noted that the order of the above steps is not strictly required, and the order of some steps can be adjusted according to the actual working conditions. For example, the booster water pump 71 can be turned on after the drive motor 81 is started; or the booster water pump 71 can be turned on before the drive motor 81 is started. As long as the rapid cleaning of the dishes can be achieved, any adjustment of the order of steps should be considered as an equivalent embodiment of the present invention.

[0216] III. Kitchen System

[0217] This invention also provides a kitchen system including a sink 14 and the aforementioned novel dishwasher. The dishwasher is fixed to the standard faucet mounting hole of the sink 14 via a mounting base 12 supporting the integrated module, occupying the unused space above the sink 14. The dishwasher's drain outlet 19 is connected to the drain outlet of the sink 14 via a corrugated pipe. This kitchen system makes full use of the available space above the sink 14 in a traditional kitchen, without requiring changes to existing decoration or occupying cabinet or countertop space. It achieves integrated design of the dishwasher, faucet, and sink 14, optimizing the kitchen space layout, and is especially suitable for small kitchens and retrofitting existing kitchens.
