[0022] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of this utility model, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0023] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components, or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.
[0024] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.
[0025] With reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification, an easy-to-clean cup washer comprises a main body 10 that can be connected to a countertop 110. The countertop can be the outer edge of the upper end of the sink 100. The main body can be fixed to a water inlet pipe on the countertop. A water inlet channel 11 is provided in the middle of the main body. The upper end of the main body can be located above the countertop and is also a hole in the countertop through which the main body can pass. The main body also comprises a water collection tray 20. The water collection tray includes a connecting pipe 21 provided in the middle. The connecting pipe can be sleeved around the outer periphery of the upper end of the main body. A sealing ring 31 is provided between the inner peripheral wall of the connecting pipe and the outer peripheral wall of the upper end of the main body. This achieves a seal so that water does not flow out of the gap between the connecting pipe and the main body and only flows out through the drain port. The water collection tray can be inserted into the outer periphery of the main body from top to bottom and can be removed from the main body from bottom to top. This makes it easy to install and remove the water collection tray without other complicated procedures. In one embodiment, the cup holder is removed first, and then the water collection tray. The aperture of the connecting pipe is larger than the major diameter of the nozzle and the push rod.
[0026] Preferably, the outer peripheral wall of the upper end of the main body is provided with an outwardly extending flange 12, and the lower end surface of the connecting pipe can abut against the upper end surface of the flange, so that the water collection tray can be mounted on the main body. The outer periphery of the main body is also provided with a sealing gasket 13, which can be located between the table top and the lower end surface of the flange to ensure that water does not flow under the table top.
[0027] Furthermore, the water collection tray includes an annular base plate 22 and an open ring 23. The base plate is positioned around the outer perimeter of the connecting pipe, and the open ring is positioned above the base plate's outer perimeter. The opening of the open ring serves as the water collection tray's drain outlet 24. The base plate gradually slopes downward from the connecting pipe, forming a conical bottom surface. The bottom surface of the central portion of the water collection tray is higher than the bottom surface of the outer perimeter. The base plate is lowest at the opening of the open ring, allowing water to flow from the water collection tray to the drain outlet. Alternatively, the angle of inclination at the drain outlet is greatest, ensuring that water flows to the drain outlet.
[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a matching piston 40 and a push rod 50, which can be screwed together. The middle part of the piston and the push rod can be connected to the water inlet channel. The upper end of the push rod is connected to a nozzle 60, and the nozzle can also be connected to the push rod by screwing. During use, it seems that only the water collection tray and the main body are different relative to the table, and other components can move under force. A cup holder 70 is provided on the outer periphery of the nozzle, and the cup holder can be pressed by the cup to drive the piston downward to connect the nozzle to the water inlet channel.
[0029] Preferably, an annular boss 14 is provided in the main body, and the piston can be inserted into the hole of the annular boss. A spring 80 is provided between the push rod and the annular boss. The spring can keep the piston with an upward force, so that when the cup does not need to be cleaned, the water inlet hole remains in a water-blocked state. The piston located at the lower end of the annular boss is sleeved on a sealing gasket 32, and the sealing gasket can fit tightly with the lower end surface of the annular boss, thereby ensuring that water does not flow upward and keeping the water inlet hole in a water-blocked state.
[0030] Furthermore, the piston is provided with a water inlet hole 41 communicating with its center. The water inlet hole is located above the sealing gasket. When the sealing gasket is tightly fitted with the annular boss, water from the water inlet channel cannot flow through the water inlet hole. When the sealing gasket is separated from the annular boss, water from the water inlet channel can flow through the water inlet hole to the nozzle, thereby cleaning the cup. A seal 33 is provided between the outer periphery of the push rod and the inner circumferential wall of the main body.
[0031] More specifically, the present invention features a water collection tray with a conical bottom surface, with the center higher than the outer edges and the drain outlet positioned lower than the surrounding areas. This allows for rapid drainage during use, preventing water accumulation and residual water. Specifically, the water collection tray is designed with a high center and low periphery. A diversion groove 25 is naturally formed at the bottom of the outer periphery of the tray, allowing accumulated water to quickly flow into the lower diversion groove. The drain outlet is located at the lowest position, creating a height difference that allows residual water to flow toward the outlet. A slope 26 with a steeper slope (relative to the inclination angle of the bottom plate) is also designed at the outlet to increase drainage speed and quickly expel the last remaining water. The water collection tray is mounted on the outer periphery of the main body, with a sealing ring forming a circumferential seal. A flange on the side of the main body limits the downward movement of the water collection tray. A piston and a push rod are mounted within the main body, with the lower portion of the push rod fixedly connected to the piston and the upper portion of the push rod connected to the nozzle. A step 61 is provided on the side of the nozzle. The cup holder is mounted on the nozzle and positioned downwardly by the step on the side of the nozzle. During installation, the main body, piston, push rod, nozzle, etc. form a water control assembly. First, fix the water control assembly on the table, then put the water collection tray on the main body and fix it through the flange on the side of the main body, and then put the cup holder on the nozzle; when cleaning, you can first remove the cup holder from the top, then remove the water collection tray from above the main body, and after cleaning is completed, install them in order and reuse them.
[0032] The foregoing description shows and describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. As previously mentioned, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. Instead, the present invention can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and can be modified within the scope of the present invention as taught herein or through the techniques or knowledge of the relevant art.
