Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to kitchen equipment. Background Art

[0002] A cleaning machine is a device that sprays water onto dishes or fruits and vegetables to remove dirt adhering to the dishes or fruits and vegetables and clean the dishes or fruits and vegetables. Currently, cleaning machines generally use a valve pump assembly at the drain port at the bottom to discharge the washing water in the cleaning machine, such as the "Drainage Mechanism for Cleaning Machine and Cleaning Machine" disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent with patent number CN202321366323.3 (publication number CN219846477U).

[0003] At present, with the improvement of living standards, kitchen appliances such as garbage disposers have entered family kitchens one after another. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with patent number CN201820070406.0 (publication number CN208769154U) discloses a multifunctional integrated cabinet, in which a cabinet body is divided into several independent storage cabinets, and the cabinet body is provided with at least one faucet. The multifunctional integrated cabinet comprises: a sink, whose main body is embedded in the cabinet body; a garbage disposer, which is connected to the bottom of the sink through a feed pipe, and the garbage disposer is connected to the outside through a waste pipe, and the garbage disposer is connected to the side wall of the sink through the waste pipe; a dishwasher, which is detachably arranged in the storage cabinet, and the dishwasher is connected to the garbage disposer through a drain pipe.

[0004] Garbage disposers are generally also equipped with a drive mechanism to drive the grinding component to rotate and shear the garbage; and the valve pump component of the dishwasher is generally also equipped with a drive mechanism to drive the impeller to rotate for drainage, which requires the installation of multiple sets of drive mechanisms and involves many components. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a kitchen device with fewer components in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is: a kitchen device, comprising

[0007] A washing machine for washing dishes and / or fruits and vegetables, the washing machine comprising a box body, a washing chamber and a drainage chamber located below the washing chamber, the drainage chamber being connected to the washing chamber, and a drainage port connected to the drainage chamber being provided on the box body;

[0008] A food waste disposer comprises a shell, wherein the shell has a grinding chamber inside, and the shell is provided with a feed inlet and a discharge port connected to the grinding chamber;

[0009] A grinding assembly is disposed in the grinding chamber;

[0010] A driving mechanism, comprising a driving member and a first output shaft drivingly connected to the driving member, wherein the first output shaft is drivingly connected to the grinding assembly;

[0011] The invention is characterized in that the shell also has a pump chamber independent of the grinding chamber, the shell is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet connected to the pump chamber, the water inlet and the drain are connected through a drain pipe, and the pump chamber is provided with an impeller for drawing water from the drain chamber toward the pump chamber and flowing out from the water outlet;

[0012] The driving mechanism further comprises a second output shaft drivingly connected to the driving member, and the second output shaft is drivingly connected to the impeller.

[0013] Preferably, the water outlet is connected to a water outlet pipe, the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe is branched into a first branch pipe and a second branch pipe, and the drainage end of the second branch pipe is connected to the grinding chamber. This is equivalent to draining water from two places, with faster drainage speed and high drainage efficiency, and the water transported to the grinding chamber by the second branch pipe can be discharged from the discharge port.

[0014] In order to select whether the water flowing out of the water outlet is discharged through one or two paths, the first branch pipe is provided with a first valve capable of controlling the on-off of the flow path therein, and / or the second branch pipe is provided with a second valve capable of controlling the on-off of the flow path therein.

[0015] Preferably, the first branch pipe is provided with a first valve capable of controlling the on-off of the flow path therein, and the drain pipe is provided with a sensor for detecting the degree of dirtiness of the water flow. When the cleaning machine runs a program to wash dishes or fruits and vegetables, there will be several sections of water intake and several sections of drainage. Through each drainage, the residues washed each time will flow away from the drain pipe. According to the sensor detection, if the turbidity of the water flow is high, such as exceeding a certain value t, the first valve opens, and the driving mechanism drives the impeller to rotate, so that the sewage flows out from the first branch pipe. If the drainage volume is relatively large, part of the water is discharged from the second branch pipe to the inside of the grinding chamber, so as to clean the grinding chamber;

[0016] When the sensor detects that the water turbidity is low, it means that there is not much residue in the dirty water discharged by the cleaning machine at this time, so the first valve is closed and the water is discharged from the second branch pipe to clean the garbage disposer. Similarly, when the cleaning machine is draining water, the impeller pressurizes the water pump. The water of the cleaning machine not only flushes and cleans the wall of the crushing chamber, but also the grinding component crushes the residue remaining in the sewage, so that the cleaning machine can drain smoothly and avoid clogging the sewer pipe to a certain extent.

[0017] When the turbidity of the water flow is low, the first valve can also be opened to clean the first branch pipe.

[0018] The sensor can have various structural forms, such as an infrared sensor. In the above scheme, the sensor is a turbidity sensor.

[0019] In the above scheme, a sewage pipe is connected to the discharge port, and the drainage end of the sewage pipe is connected to the first branch pipe.

[0020] In the above solution, the water outlet is arranged on the peripheral wall of the pump chamber, and the water inlet is arranged on the top wall or the bottom wall of the pump chamber.

[0021] Preferably, the kitchen equipment further comprises a sink, the shell is arranged below the sink, a water outlet is arranged on the bottom wall of the sink, the feed inlet on the shell is located at the top of the shell, and the water outlet is communicated with the feed inlet on the shell.

[0022] There is usually a certain amount of space under the water tank. In order to make full use of the space under the water tank, the pump chamber is located below the grinding chamber, so that the shell is longer in the longitudinal direction and the space under the water tank is highly utilized.

[0023] In the above solution, the box is located beside the water tank.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model are as follows: the utility model provides a pump chamber on the shell, and the driving mechanism can drive the grinding assembly to grind the garbage, and can also drive the impeller to draw water in the drainage chamber to achieve drainage of the cleaning machine. It has high integration and compact structure. There is no need to provide a set of driving mechanisms for the garbage disposer and the cleaning machine respectively, which involves fewer parts and saves costs. In addition, the power of the driving component configured on the general garbage disposer is greater than the power of the drainage pump configured on the cleaning machine. The utility model uses the driving component configured on the garbage disposer to drain the cleaning machine, and the water flow rate is greater and the pressure is faster.
