DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the following embodiments:
[0035] Example:
[0036] Sink a is a component for receiving water flow and washing items, and is generally embedded in the kitchen countertop.
[0037] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 4 As shown, the water tank a primarily comprises a tank body a1, which includes an upward-opening cleaning tank a1.1. A water outlet a1.2 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank a1.1 for the liquid in the cleaning tank a1.1 to flow out. Furthermore, a valve is typically provided at the water outlet a1.2 to control whether the water outlet a1.2 is open or closed, allowing the outlet a1.2 to be kept open or closed according to cleaning needs.
[0038] Sink a is often used in conjunction with a faucet b connected to a water pipe to control the flow of tap water. Faucet b is typically fixed to the body a1 of sink a. To wash items, the items are placed in the washing tank a1.1 and water is flushed into the washing tank a1.1 by turning on faucet b.
[0039] After washing items, it is often necessary to flush the cleaning tank a1.1 through faucet b to keep it clean and reduce the possibility of bacterial accumulation and growth. However, faucet b is often not adjustable to flush the side walls of the cleaning tank a1.1. Alternatively, when faucet b is used to flush the side walls of the cleaning tank a1.1, water splashes easily, contaminating the outside of the tank and causing unnecessary waste. As a result, the side walls of the cleaning tank a1.1 are often difficult to clean.
[0040] Based on this, in this embodiment, a flow guide a2 is additionally provided for cleaning the side walls of the cleaning tank a1.1.
[0041] Specifically, as attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a flow guide a2 is fixedly connected to the tank body a1. The flow guide a2 is located above a side wall of the cleaning tank a1.1 and has a flow guide groove a2.1 with an opening facing upward.
[0042] Furthermore, a water inlet pipe a3, connected to the guide groove a2.1, is fixedly connected to the guide member a2. This pipe is used to direct external liquid into the guide groove a2.1. Specifically, when the sink a is installed and in use, the end of the water inlet pipe a3, remote from the guide groove a2.1, is typically connected to a tap water pipe or the outlet of a faucet b, allowing tap water to enter the guide groove a2.1 through the water inlet pipe a3. Furthermore, to control the water inflow, the water inlet pipe a3 may be equipped with a control valve to control the flow of liquid within the pipe. This control valve may be a solenoid valve, such as those commonly used to control the flow of liquid within a pipe.
[0043] Considering that household water pipes typically have both cold and hot water pipes, in this embodiment, the flow guide a2 is preferably fixedly connected to two water inlet pipes a3 that communicate with the flow guide groove a2.1. One water inlet pipe a3 is used to connect to and communicate with the hot water pipe, and the other water inlet pipe a3 is used to connect to and communicate with the cold water pipe. Furthermore, each water inlet pipe a3 can be equipped with a control valve to control the flow inside. This allows for the introduction of cold or hot water into the flow guide groove a2.1 as needed to clean the sidewalls of the cleaning tank a1.1.
[0044] In addition, there are several guide holes a2.2 on the groove wall of the guide groove a2.1, which are arranged to match the side wall of the cleaning groove a1.1, so that: when there is liquid (such as water) in the guide groove a2.1, the liquid (such as water) can flow from the guide hole a2.2 to the side wall of the cleaning groove a1.1, preferably to the upper end of the side wall of the cleaning groove a1.1, to clean the side wall.
[0045] At this time, as mentioned above, after the tap water enters the guide groove a2.1 from the water inlet pipe a3, the water in the guide groove a2.1 will flow from the several guide holes a2.2 to the side wall of the cleaning tank a1.1 (as shown in the attached figure). Figure 3 1 ), to clean one side wall of the cleaning tank a1.1, so as to keep the side wall clean and reduce the possibility of bacterial accumulation and growth.
[0046] The groove wall of the guide groove a2.1 includes side walls and a groove bottom wall a2.11 at the bottom; depending on the placement position of the guide member a2, the guide hole a2.2 can be set on the side wall or the groove bottom wall a2.11 of the guide groove a2.1.
[0047] In this embodiment, the water flows out of the guide hole a2.2 and flows downward to the side wall of the cleaning tank a1.1 to better flush the side wall. Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the bottom wall a2.11 of the tank has a portion that is suspended and located above a side wall of the cleaning tank a1.1, and a plurality of guide holes a2.2 are provided in the portion.
[0048] Implementation: When water flows downward from the guide hole a2.2, it can impact downward and fall onto one side wall of the cleaning tank a1.1, so as to better flush the side wall from top to bottom and improve the cleaning effect.
[0049] At this point, the bottom of the suspended portion of the flow guide a2 can also be provided with a downwardly protruding baffle a2.3, located on one side of the flow guide hole a2.2, to block the liquid flowing out of the flow guide hole a2.2 in the horizontal direction. In this way, the baffle a2.3 can prevent the water flowing downward from the flow guide hole a2.2 from flowing horizontally, preventing the water from splashing horizontally, while also concentrating more water flowing downward onto the side walls of the cleaning tank a1.1, thereby improving the cleaning effect and reducing water waste.
[0050] On the basis of the above, in order to prevent impurities from falling into the guide groove a2.1, a cover plate a4 can be fixed to the guide member a2 to cover the notch of the guide groove a2.1 from top to bottom.
[0051] The cover plate a4 may be fixed to the flow guide member a2 by a non-detachable connection method such as welding; or the cover plate a4 may be formed integrally with the flow guide member a2.
[0052] In this embodiment, in order to perform regular maintenance and cleaning of the guide groove a2.1, the cover plate a4 is preferably detachably fixed to the guide member a2. For example, the cover plate a4 can be detachably fixed to the guide member a2 by screws; or, as shown in the attached Figure 3 As shown in FIG, the lower end of the cover plate a4 has a protruding portion adapted to be embedded in the guide groove a2.1. By adapting the protruding portion to be embedded in the guide groove a2.1, the cover plate a4 can be detachably fixed to the guide member a2.
[0053] Furthermore, as attached Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the tank body a1 can also be provided with: a positioning groove a1.3 located above the side wall of the cleaning tank a1.1; the size of the positioning groove a1.3 is adapted to the outer contour size of the guide member a2, and the guide member a2 is adapted to be embedded in the positioning groove a1.3 to achieve more stable positioning.
[0054] The specific structure of the positioning notch a1.3 is set according to the size and structure of the flow guide member a2.
[0055] As attached Figure 3 As shown in FIG, when the tank bottom wall a2.11 includes a portion suspended above a side wall of the cleaning tank a1.1, and a plurality of guide holes a2.2 are provided in this portion, the guide member a2 is preferably partially embedded in the positioning notch a1.3. In this case, a downwardly protruding baffle a2.3 is provided at the bottom of the suspended portion of the guide member a2, and this baffle a2.3 is located on the side of the guide holes a2.2 away from the positioning notch a1.3.
[0056] Furthermore, in order to better position the flow guide member a2, a plug-in positioning structure may be provided between the flow guide member a2 and the tank body a1.
[0057] For example, Figure 3 As shown in , when the upper end of the positioning notch a1.3 is open, the lower end of the flow guide a2 can be provided with a downwardly protruding plug portion a2.4, and the bottom of the positioning notch a1.3 can be provided with a plug hole a1.31 that matches the plug portion a2.4. When the flow guide a2 is installed from top to bottom in the positioning notch a1.3, the plug portion a2.4 fits downwardly into the plug hole a1.31, ensuring stable positioning of the flow guide a2 on the trough body a1.
[0058] The cleaning tank a1.1 generally has a plurality of connected side walls. In order to better clean each side wall, a flow guide a2 may be matched and provided above each side wall of the cleaning tank a1.1.
[0059] For example, Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning tank a1.1 is generally a square tank, and thus has four side walls, namely, upper, lower, left, and right. A flow guide a2 can be matched above each of the upper, lower, left, and right side walls to clean each side wall.
[0060] At the same time, the plurality of flow guides a2 are preferably arranged end to end to form a ring structure, so that the overall structure formed by the plurality of flow guides a2 has higher strength and is convenient for transportation and installation as a whole.
[0061] Based on the above, considering that each guide member a2 has a guide groove a2.1, if each guide member a2 were equipped with a water inlet pipe a3, the pipe connections would be complicated. Therefore, in this embodiment, any two adjacent guide grooves a2.1 are preferably interconnected, so that all guide grooves a2.1 are connected; and only one guide member a2 is equipped with a water inlet pipe a3. In this way, simply docking and connecting the water inlet pipe a3 with the water pipe or faucet outlet pipe allows water from the water pipe or faucet to flow through the water inlet pipe a3 into each guide groove a2.1, thereby cleaning each sidewall of the cleaning tank a1.1.
