Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen equipment, in particular to a water tank and kitchen equipment using the water tank. Background Art

[0002] With the implementation of the domestic garbage classification policy, not only has the sales volume of classified garbage bins increased significantly, but household waste food disposers (also known as "kitchen waste disposers" or "food waste disposers") have also been accepted by more and more families, especially household waste food disposers installed under the kitchen sink drain, which usually include a feed inlet connected to the sink drain, a grinding chamber, a grinding assembly located in the grinding chamber, and a discharge port connected to a drain pipe. This disposer crushes the food waste in the grinding chamber through the grinding assembly and directly discharges it into the sewer, thereby avoiding the breeding of bacteria, mosquitoes and the emission of odors due to the long-term storage of food waste in the kitchen.

[0003] For example, in the Chinese utility model patent disclosed with patent number CN202320241851.X (publication number CN219219251U), a household food waste disposer and a water sink is disclosed. The household food waste disposer includes a shell having a grinding chamber, and a feed port connected to the grinding chamber at the top; a grinding assembly is arranged in the grinding chamber, and the water sink includes a trough body, and the bottom of the trough body has a water outlet, and the shell is arranged at the water outlet at the bottom of the trough body.

[0004] Currently, when garbage is discharged from a sink, water is usually drained through a faucet to direct the garbage into the grinding chamber. Sometimes, the user is even required to manually gather the garbage toward the drain outlet of the sink body to facilitate the discharge of the garbage into the grinding chamber. Utility Model Content

[0005] The first technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a water tank which is convenient for discharging garbage from the drain port in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0006] The second technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a kitchen device using the above-mentioned sink, which is convenient for discharging garbage from the drain to the kitchen waste disposer, in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above-mentioned first technical problem is: a water tank, comprising a tank body, wherein the bottom wall of the tank body is provided with a water outlet penetrating the wall thickness;

[0008] It is characterized by that it also includes

[0009] The water inlet pipe partially extends vertically and extends into the water tank, and the vertically extending part of the water inlet pipe is called the vertical section;

[0010] The spray component is horizontally arranged, and is located above the water outlet and facing the water outlet. The spray component has a water storage chamber inside, a spray hole is arranged on the bottom wall of the spray component, and a water inlet connecting the vertical section and the water storage chamber is arranged on the spray component. The spray component rotates around the axis of the vertical section.

[0011] In order to further prevent garbage from accumulating in the water tank, the bottom of the tank body has a concave area, the water outlet is arranged in the concave area, and the spraying part covers the top of the concave area. The spraying part rotates and sprays water, and the spraying range is large. Under the drainage effect of the water flow, the garbage will flow into the concave area, and then the garbage will flow to the water outlet under the effect of the water flow sprayed by the spraying part.

[0012] In order to make the spraying member have a larger spraying range, the cross section of the spraying member is circular, and there are a plurality of spray holes which are arranged at intervals on the spraying member.

[0013] The spraying element can be driven to rotate by the driving structure, or the spraying element can be rotated under the force of the water flow. In order to ensure that the water flow has sufficient force on the spraying element, the inner diameter of the vertical section gradually decreases along the direction of the water flow. In this way, the flow rate of the water flow gradually increases during the flow process, and the force on the spraying element is greater.

[0014] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above-mentioned second technical problem is: a kitchen device using the above-mentioned sink, characterized in that it also includes a food waste disposer, the food waste disposer includes a shell, the shell has a grinding chamber inside, the shell is provided with a feed port and a discharge port connected to the grinding chamber, and the feed port is fluidically connected to the drain outlet of the trough body.

[0015] In order to allow the garbage flowing out of the drain outlet to smoothly enter the grinding chamber, the shell is located below the trough body, and the feed port is arranged at the top of the shell, and the feed port faces the drain outlet of the trough body, so that the garbage at the drain outlet can be smoothly discharged into the grinding chamber under the impact of water flow and gravity, and the water flow also plays a role in cleaning the grinding chamber.

[0016] The water inlet pipe can be extended from the top of the sink to connect with the spray part, but the water inlet pipe is exposed, and the kitchen equipment as a whole looks messy. In the above scheme, the water inlet of the spray part is located in the central part of its bottom wall, and a vertical pipe is extended downward from the peripheral edge of the water inlet. One end of the water inlet pipe is located outside the grinding chamber for connecting with the water source, and the other end passes through the grinding chamber and extends into the sink. The vertical section is plug-in-fitted with the vertical pipe, and the vertical pipe can rotate relative to the vertical section. In this way, the water inlet pipe is partially hidden in the shell, and the part exposed outside the shell is also hidden under the sink, which looks neater.

[0017] In order to limit the depth of the water inlet pipe inserted into the vertical pipe, a flange is radially formed on the outer peripheral wall of the vertical section. When the vertical section is inserted into the vertical pipe, the flange abuts against the bottom of the vertical pipe, and the water inlet pipe cannot continue to be inserted into the vertical pipe.

[0018] In order to prevent axial displacement between the spraying element and the vertical section, a positioning element is provided on the vertical tube. When the flange abuts against the bottom of the vertical tube, the positioning element abuts against the bottom wall of the flange.

[0019] The positioning member can have a variety of structural forms, such as screws, but such connection is more troublesome. Preferably, a vertically extending elastic arm is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the vertical tube, the upper end of the elastic arm is connected to the vertical tube, and the lower end of the elastic arm can move toward or away from the outer peripheral wall of the vertical tube. A buckle foot is provided at the lower end of the elastic arm. When the flange abuts against the bottom of the vertical tube, the buckle foot abuts against the bottom wall of the flange. The elastic arm and the buckle foot together constitute the positioning member. In this way, when the water inlet pipe is inserted into the vertical tube, the lower end of the elastic arm moves in the direction away from the outer peripheral wall of the vertical tube. When the flange abuts against the bottom wall of the vertical tube, the elastic arm moves in the direction of the outer peripheral wall of the vertical tube, and the buckle foot abuts against the bottom wall of the vertical tube.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages: 1. The utility model arranges a spray piece above the drain of the sink, which sprays water when it rotates, so as to clean the sink and drain the garbage in the sink and drive it toward the drain to prevent the garbage from accumulating in the sink; 2. The utility model arranges a kitchen waste disposer under the sink, so that the garbage discharged from the drain is discharged into the kitchen waste disposer for shredding and then discharged into the sewer, so as to prevent the garbage from being directly discharged into the sewer and causing blockage. In addition, the spray piece also plays a role in cleaning the grinding chamber and accelerating the slag discharge. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the kitchen equipment of this preferred embodiment includes a sink A, a food waste disposer B, a spray element 3 and a water inlet pipe 4.

[0027] The water tank A comprises a tank body 1 , the bottom of which is provided with a concave area 11 , and a water outlet 12 penetrating through the wall thickness of the tank body 1 is arranged on the bottom wall of the tank body 1 , and the water outlet 12 is arranged in the concave area 11 .

[0028] The food waste disposer B includes a shell 2, which has a grinding chamber 21 inside. The shell 2 is provided with a feed port 22 and a discharge port 23 connected to the grinding chamber 21. The shell 2 is located below the trough body 1, and the feed port 22 is arranged at the top of the shell 2. The feed port 22 faces the drain port 12 of the trough body 1. The drain port 12 of the water tank A and the feed port 22 of the shell 2 are connected through a drain pipe 5.

[0029] The spray member 3 is horizontally arranged, and the cross section of the spray member 3 is circular. The spray member 3 is located above the water outlet 12 and faces the water outlet 12 , and the spray member 3 covers the upper part of the concave area 11 .

[0030] The spray member 3 has a water storage chamber 31 inside, and a plurality of spray holes 32 are arranged at intervals on the bottom wall of the spray member 3. The spray member 3 is provided with a water inlet 33 connected to the water storage chamber 31. The water inlet 33 of the spray member 3 is located in the central part of the bottom wall thereof, and a vertical pipe 34 is extended downward from the periphery of the water inlet 33. One end of the water inlet pipe 4 is located outside the grinding chamber 21 for connection with a water source, and the other end passes through the grinding chamber 21. The portion of the water inlet pipe 4 located in the grinding chamber 21 partially extends vertically and extends into the water tank A. The vertically extended portion of the water inlet pipe 4 is called a vertical section 41. The vertical section 41 is plug-fitted with the vertical pipe 34. The vertical pipe 34 can rotate relative to the vertical section 41, that is, the spray member 3 rotates around the axis of the vertical section 41.

[0031] The water inlet pipe 4 can be made of hard material, and the water inlet pipe 4 can be positioned directly through the perforations on the shell 2 .

[0032] The spraying member 3 can be driven to rotate by the driving structure, or the spraying member 3 can be made to rotate under the force of the water flow. In order to ensure that the water flow has sufficient force on the spraying member 3, the inner diameter of the vertical section 41 gradually decreases along the water flow direction. In this way, the flow rate of the water flow gradually increases during the flow process, and the force on the spraying member 3 is greater.

[0033] A flange 42 is radially formed on the outer peripheral wall of the vertical section 41 . When the vertical section 41 is inserted into the vertical pipe 34 , the flange 42 abuts against the bottom of the vertical pipe 34 , and the water inlet pipe 4 cannot be further inserted into the vertical pipe 34 .

[0034] The vertical tube 34 is provided with a positioning member 6 . When the flange 42 abuts against the bottom of the vertical tube 34 , the positioning member 6 abuts against the bottom wall of the flange 42 to prevent the vertical section 41 and the vertical tube 34 from being separated.

[0035] A vertically extending elastic arm 61 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the vertical tube 34, the upper end of the elastic arm 61 is connected to the vertical tube 34, the lower end of the elastic arm 61 can move toward or away from the outer peripheral wall of the vertical tube 34, and a buckle foot 62 is provided at the lower end of the elastic arm 61. When the flange 42 abuts against the bottom of the vertical tube 34, the buckle foot 62 abuts against the bottom wall of the flange 42, and the elastic arm 61 and the buckle foot 62 together constitute the positioning member 6. In this way, during the process of the water inlet pipe 4 being inserted into the vertical tube 34, the lower end of the elastic arm 61 moves in the direction away from the outer peripheral wall of the vertical tube 34, and when the flange 42 abuts against the bottom wall of the vertical tube 34, the elastic arm 61 moves in the direction of the outer peripheral wall of the vertical tube 34, and the buckle foot 62 abuts against the bottom wall of the vertical tube 34.

[0036] The working process of the spray member 3 of this embodiment is as follows: the spray member 3 rotates and sprays water, and the spraying range is large. Under the drainage effect of the water flow, the garbage will flow into the concave area 11, and then under the action of the water flow sprayed by the spray member 3 and its own gravity, the garbage flows to the drain port 12 and is discharged into the grinding chamber 21. At the same time, the water flow also plays a role in cleaning the grinding chamber 21.
