Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] At present, with the improvement of living standards, kitchen appliances such as garbage disposers and dishwashers 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, 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.

[0003] For garbage disposers, because kitchen waste has a certain humidity, the inside of the garbage disposer will be in a humid environment after processing the waste, which is prone to breed bacteria and produce odor.

[0004] For dishwashers, after washing dishes, the inside is full of water, which can easily breed bacteria and produce odors.

[0005] However, if a set of blowing components is provided for the garbage disposal and the dishwasher respectively, more parts are involved. Utility Model Content

[0006] 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.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is: a kitchen device, comprising

[0008] A food waste disposer comprises a shell, wherein the shell has a grinding chamber inside, and the shell is also 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] A dishwasher comprises a tank body, wherein the interior of the tank body is a washing cavity;

[0012] The invention is characterized in that the shell further has a pump chamber independent of the grinding chamber, the shell is provided with an air inlet connected to the pump chamber, a first air outlet and a second air outlet, the first air outlet is connected to the grinding chamber through a first air outlet pipe, the second air outlet is connected to the washing chamber through a second air outlet pipe, the air inlet is connected to the outside, and the pump chamber is provided with an impeller for driving the airflow from the air inlet to the first air outlet or the second air outlet;

[0013] 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.

[0014] Preferably, the pump chamber is located below the grinding chamber, the first air outlet and the second air outlet are both arranged on the peripheral wall of the grinding chamber, and the air inlet is arranged on the bottom wall of the grinding chamber. Because the food waste disposer is usually arranged below the sink, and the space below the sink is relatively large, the pump chamber is arranged below the grinding chamber to fully utilize the space below the sink.

[0015] In order to selectively ventilate the washing chamber or the grinding chamber, a first valve capable of opening or closing the first air outlet is provided at the first air outlet of the housing, and a second valve capable of opening or closing the second air outlet is provided at the second air outlet of the housing. Thus, when the grinding chamber needs to be dried, the first valve is opened, and when the washing chamber needs to be dried, the second valve is opened, and the selection can be made according to the needs to avoid wasting airflow.

[0016] Preferably, the cross-sectional areas of the first air outlet and the second air outlet gradually decrease along the flow direction of the airflow, so that the airflow will be accelerated when flowing out from the first air outlet or the second air outlet, ensuring that it can flow into the grinding chamber or the washing chamber.

[0017] The exhaust end of the second air outlet pipe can be directly inserted into the washing chamber, but the washing chamber is usually provided with a spray arm, a bowl basket and other components, so the side wall of the tank body is provided with an air inlet hole connected to the washing chamber, and the outer side wall of the tank body is also provided with a box body connected to the air inlet hole, and the exhaust end of the second air outlet pipe is connected to the box body. In this way, the second air outlet pipe is connected to the washing chamber through the box body, and the second air outlet pipe does not need to be directly extended into the washing chamber.

[0018] In order to improve the drying efficiency of the washing cavity, a heating element is provided in the box body or in the second air outlet pipe, and the heating element heats the airflow. The hot airflow has a good drying effect on the washing cavity and the items therein.

[0019] Preferably, the heating element is tubular and inserted into the second air outlet pipe. A plurality of air flow channels are provided on the heating element at intervals, and each air flow channel runs through the axial direction of the heating element, thereby increasing the contact area between the air flow and the heating element and improving the heating efficiency.

[0020] In the above scheme, the kitchen equipment also includes a sink, the shell is located below the sink, a water outlet is provided on the bottom wall of the sink, the feed port on the shell is located at the top thereof, and the water outlet and the feed port are connected.

[0021] The water discharged from the dishwasher usually contains kitchen waste, and directly discharging it into the sewer may cause blockage of the sewer. Therefore, preferably, the dishwasher includes a drain pipe connected to the washing chamber, and the housing is also provided with a feed hole connected to the grinding chamber, and the drain end of the drain pipe is connected to the feed hole. In this way, the water discharged from the dishwasher is first processed in the kitchen waste disposer and then discharged to prevent blockage of the sewer.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages: the utility model integrates a pump chamber on the housing of the food waste disposer, and an impeller is arranged in the pump chamber. The impeller draws outside air into the pump chamber, and then blows the air out from the first air outlet or the second air outlet to dry the grinding chamber or the washing chamber;

[0023] It can be seen from the above that the blowing assembly (including pump chamber, impeller) for drying the grinding chamber or the washing chamber is integrated in the food waste disposer, so that the food waste disposer not only has the function of crushing garbage, but also has the function of blowing. It has a high degree of integration and involves few components. The blowing assembly can not only blow air into the washing chamber, but also into the grinding chamber. In this way, there is no need to set up a set of blowing assemblies for the washing chamber and the grinding chamber respectively, which further reduces the involved parts.
