[0028] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a cup washer includes a fixed base 10, a press-to-dispense water assembly 20 connected within the fixed base, a water inlet channel 11 communicating with the press-to-dispense water assembly within the fixed base, and a drain channel 12 formed within the fixed base on the outer periphery of the press-to-dispense water assembly; it also includes a housing 30, wherein the housing is a vessel with an outlet in the center of the bottom, whereas existing ones have openings on the periphery (which only drain water into a spray nozzle); the housing contains a support frame 31 adapted to the cup, the support frame being able to connect with the press-to-dispense water assembly; the downward movement of the support frame allows the press-to-dispense water assembly to dispense water; the housing is connected to the drain channel so that water used to rinse the cup flows out from the drain channel; this invention discharges wastewater through the center of the housing into the fixed base, eliminating the need for it to pass through a basin before being discharged, thus reducing the frequency of contamination.
[0029] Preferably, the system also includes a filter basket 32 disposed within the inner shaft of the housing. The filter basket is located on the outer periphery of the support frame and has water passage holes. Wastewater flows out through the water passage holes, while debris remains inside the filter basket to prevent blockage of the drainage channel. A support step 21 is provided on the outer periphery of the press-to-discharge assembly. The filter basket is fitted around the outer periphery of the press-to-discharge assembly and rests on the support step. During use, the filter basket and the housing remain relatively stationary, while only the support frame moves relative to each other.
[0030] Furthermore, the housing is fitted around the periphery of the press-to-discharge water assembly, and a protruding ring 22 is provided on the periphery of the press-to-discharge water assembly. Flanges 33 are provided at intervals on the inner peripheral wall of the housing hole. The flanges can abut against the lower end face of the protruding ring, and a water passage 34 is formed between adjacent flanges. Water in the housing can be connected to the drain through the water passage. The protruding ring is located below the support step.
[0031] Furthermore, a first sealing ring 41 is provided on the lower end face of the housing. The first sealing ring can be connected to the upper end face of the mounting platform (not shown in the figure, but can be a kitchen countertop or the outer periphery of a sink). A second sealing ring 42 is provided on the upper end of the fixed base. The second sealing ring can be connected to the lower end face of the mounting platform. This can prevent water from leaking out and flowing onto the mounting platform.
[0032] Preferably, the fixed base has an internal thread 13, and the outer periphery of the press-to-discharge assembly can be connected to the internal thread to connect the housing to the fixed base. The outlet end of the water inlet channel can be screwed to the connector 50, which is inserted into the inner periphery of the press-to-discharge assembly. The press-to-discharge assembly can move axially relative to the connector. A sealing ring 51 is provided between the inner periphery of the press-to-discharge assembly and the outer periphery of the connector to ensure that the inlet water flow and the wastewater flow do not overlap.
[0033] Furthermore, the water inlet end of the water inlet channel is located on the peripheral wall of the fixed base, and also includes a water inlet pipe 60, which can be connected to the water inlet end of the water inlet channel.
[0034] Furthermore, the press-to-dispense water assembly includes a body 23 that can be connected to a connector. A piston 24 is disposed within the body, and a water spray hole 25 for washing cups is fitted on the piston. A convex ring is disposed on the outer periphery of the body, and the outer periphery of the body can be connected to an internal thread. A support frame is sleeved on the outer periphery of the piston, and the support frame can move axially synchronously with the piston.
[0035] More specifically, this utility model includes a shell, a support frame, a filter basket, a press-to-discharge water assembly (or a press-to-discharge valve core), and a fixed base. The press-to-discharge valve core is locked and fixed to the washing tank via the fixed base. A drain hole is located at the center of the shell. The support frame and filter basket are placed on the press-to-discharge valve core and can be removed upwards for easy cleaning. A water inlet is located on the side wall of the fixed base, directly connected to a water inlet pipe for water supply. This inlet then connects to the press-to-discharge valve core via a connector to achieve the press-to-wash function. The wastewater from the wash first passes through the filter basket to remove residue or particulate matter, then exits through the hole at the center of the shell, enters the cavity of the fixed base, and finally exits through the drain pipe connected to the fixed base. The water inlet and outlet circuits are independent, ensuring safety and reliability. This utility model has a reasonable structure, fewer parts, and is easy to assemble and disassemble, reducing overall costs. This new type of cup washer offers relatively flexible installation, effectively integrating the cup washer and drain unit, making it highly practical, energy-saving, emission-reducing, and environmentally friendly.
