[0035] See Figures 1 to 4 The sink with a cutting board provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a sink 100 and a cutting board 200; the sink 100 includes a tank body 110, a food waste processing tank 120, a food waste processor 130, and a water pipe 140. The tank body 110 and the food waste processing tank 120 are spaced apart. The food waste processor 130 is detachably installed at the bottom of the food waste processing tank 120, and the water pipe 140 extends into the food waste processing tank 120; the cutting board 200 is provided with an opening 210; the cutting board 200 is installed on the top of the sink 100 and slides with the sink 100 so that the cutting board 200 is located above the food waste processing tank 120 and the opening 210 communicates with the food waste processing tank 120, or the cutting board 200 is located above the tank body 110.

[0036] The cutting board 200 has an opening 210, and the cutting board 200 can slide on top of the sink 100; see also Figure 4 When the cutting board 200 slides to the side of the food waste disposal tank 120, the food waste processor 130 is activated, and water is supplied to the food waste disposal tank 120 via the water pipe 140. Food scraps can be directly dropped into the food waste disposal tank 120 through the opening 210 while cutting ingredients. The scraps are then processed and discharged by the food waste processor 130, reducing the risk of blockage in the drain pipe 140 of the sink 100 due to food scraps. This operation is also convenient. (See also...) Figure 1 When the cutting board 200 slides to one side of the sink 110, it can be used to clean the food waste disposal sink 120. The cutting board 200 is detachably connected to the sink 100, so the cutting board 200 can be removed without affecting the normal cleaning function of the sink 100.

[0037] The following is a detailed description of the structure and shape of a sink with a cutting board:

[0038] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the sink 100 further includes a sensor 150, which is installed at the food waste processing tank 120 and is used to identify whether the cutting board 200 is located above the food waste processing tank 120; the sensor 150 is connected to the food waste processor 130 and the water pipe 140.

[0039] Specifically, when the cutting board 200 slides above the food waste processing tank 120, the cutting board 200 triggers the sensor 150 to start the food waste processor 130, and at the same time triggers the tap water pipe 140 to flow into the food waste processing tank 120 to quickly process the food waste scraps; after passing through the food waste processor 130, the waste is directly discharged to the sewer through a separate drain pipe, reducing the risk of blockage in the drain pipe 140 of the sink 100 caused by food waste scraps.

[0040] The sink 100 is equipped with a sensor 150, which eliminates the need for a switch. When the cutting board 200 slides into place, the food waste processor 130 and the water pipe 140 are directly turned on. This enables the food waste processor 130 and the water pipe 140 to start working automatically when the cutting board 200 is processing food, thus improving the level of automation.

[0041] In one implementation, sensor 150 is configured as a gravity sensor.

[0042] When the cutting board 200 slides to the side of the food waste processing tank 120, it triggers the gravity sensor by gravity to start the food waste processor 130 and at the same time triggers the water pipe 140 to enter water to process the food waste scraps.

[0043] In another implementation, sensor 150 is configured as a light sensor.

[0044] When the cutting board 200 slides to one side of the food waste processing tank 120, it changes the environment of the light sensor, thereby triggering the light sensor, starting the food waste processor 130, and at the same time triggering the water pipe 140 to enter water, processing the food waste scraps.

[0045] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the top of the sink 100 is provided with a groove 160, and the bottom wall of the groove 160 is provided with a trough body 110 and a food waste processing trough 120; the cutting board 200 is slidably engaged with the groove 160, and the sensor 150 is installed on the bottom wall of the groove 160 and is arranged adjacent to the food waste processing trough 120.

[0046] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The cutting board 200 overlaps the bottom wall of the groove 160, which provides support and a guide for the cutting board 200, and allows for a detachable connection between the cutting board 200 and the sink 100. The sink 100 is generally square, with the sink body 110 and the food waste processing tank 120 spaced apart along the length of the sink 100. The cutting board 200 can slide along the length of the sink 100. The sensor 150 is installed on the bottom wall of the groove 160, located on the side of the food waste processing tank 120 opposite to the sink body 110. Preferably, when the cutting board 200 overlaps the groove 160, its upper surface is flush with the top surface of the sink 100.

[0047] The top of the sink 100 has a groove 160 to allow for sliding and detachable connection between the cutting board 200 and the sink 100, enabling the cutting board 200 to slide on top of the sink 100. When the cutting board 200 slides to the side of the food waste disposal tank 120, the food waste processor 130 is activated, and water is supplied to the food waste disposal tank 120 via the water pipe 140. When cutting food, the cutting board 200 can directly drop food scraps into the food waste disposal tank 120 through the opening 210, which are then processed and discharged by the food waste processor 130. This reduces the risk of blockage in the drain pipe 140 of the sink 100 due to food scraps and is easy to operate. When the cutting board 200 slides to the side of the tank 110, the food waste disposal tank 120 can be cleaned. The detachable connection between the cutting board 200 and the top of the sink 100 allows the cutting board 200 to be removed without affecting the normal cleaning function of the sink 100.

[0048] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the cutting board 200 is located above the food waste processing tank 120 and the window 210 is connected to the food waste processing tank 120. The side wall of the cutting board 200 abuts against the side wall of the groove 160.

[0049] Specifically, the distance between the side wall of the opening 210 and the side of the cutting board 200 near the opening 210 is L1, and the distance between the side wall of the food waste processing tank 120 and the side wall of the groove 160 near the food waste processing tank 120 is L2, and L1 = L2.

[0050] When the cutting board 200 is located above the food waste disposal tank 120 and the opening 210 is connected to the food waste disposal tank 120, the side wall of the cutting board 200 abuts against the side wall of the groove 160. The side wall of the groove 160 serves as a limit for the cutting board 200, making it convenient for the operator to align the opening 210 with the food waste disposal tank 120.

[0051] In another embodiment, the top surface of the sink 100 is provided with two parallel guide rails spaced apart along the width direction of the sink 100, and the cutting board 200 slides in cooperation with the guide rails; the top surface of the sink 100 is recessed downward to form a tank body 110 and a food waste processing tank 120.

[0052] In the optional embodiments of this utility model, see Figure 3 The cross-sectional area of ​​the food waste treatment tank 120 gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0053] Specifically, the food waste processor 130 is equipped with a food waste processing motor, which can process food waste scraps for discharge.

[0054] The cross-sectional area of ​​the food waste treatment tank 120 gradually decreases to facilitate the installation of the food waste treatment machine 130.

[0055] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the shape of the window 210 is the same as the shape of the opening end of the food waste treatment tank 120; the area of ​​the window 210 is less than or equal to the area of ​​the opening end of the food waste treatment tank 120.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the area of ​​the window 210 is slightly smaller than the area of ​​the opening end of the food waste treatment tank 120.

[0057] The shape of the opening 210 is the same as the shape of the opening end of the food waste disposal tank 120, so that the operator can throw food waste scraps into the food waste disposal tank 120 through the opening 210; the area of ​​the opening 210 is smaller than the area of ​​the opening end of the food waste disposal tank 120, ensuring that all food waste scraps thrown in through the opening 210 can enter the food waste disposal tank 120.

[0058] In the optional embodiments of this utility model, see Figure 1 The window 210 is set to be square, and the two adjacent side walls are connected by a first arc-shaped surface 211.

[0059] Specifically, both the opening of the window 210 and the opening of the food waste disposal tray 120 are square. The length of the food waste disposal tray 120 is along the width of the groove 160, and the length of the food waste disposal tray 120 is less than the width of the groove 160. The width of the food waste disposal tray 120 is along the length of the groove 160, and the width of the food waste disposal tray 120 is less than the difference between the groove 160 and the tank body 110. This increases the overlap area between the cutting board 200 and the bottom wall of the groove 160, improves the support, and prevents the cutting board 200 from flipping over when cutting vegetables. Furthermore, the two adjacent side walls of the window 210 are transitioned by a first arc-shaped surface 211, and the first arc-shaped surface 211 is recessed in a direction away from the center of the window 210.

[0060] The two adjacent sidewalls of the window 210 are connected by a first arc-shaped surface 211 to prevent dirt from accumulating at the four corners of the window 210 and making it difficult to clean.

[0061] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the upper surface of the cutting board 200 and the side wall of the opening window 210 are transitioned by a second arc-shaped surface.

[0062] Specifically, the second arc-shaped surface is recessed towards the center of the opening window 210.

[0063] The upper surface of the cutting board 200 and the inner wall of the window 210 are transitioned by a second arc-shaped surface, which avoids the right angle at the junction of the upper surface of the cutting board 200 and the inner wall of the window 210 from scratching the operator and improves the safety of use.

[0064] As another implementation method, see Figure 1The upper surface of the cutting board 200 and the side wall of the window 210 are connected by a slope 212.

[0065] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water tank 100 further includes a functional component, which is connected to the opening window 210.

[0066] Specifically, the functional components include, but are not limited to, a water filter basket, a shaving accessory, a sharpening accessory, and a handle accessory; the outer wall of the functional component is provided with a protrusion, which overlaps with the second arc-shaped surface or inclined surface 212 to realize the detachable connection between the functional component and the opening window 210.

[0067] The functional components are attached to the opening window 210, which enriches the usage scenarios of the cutting board 200 and improves its practicality.

[0068] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0069] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
