Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of kitchen equipment, specifically relates to an integrated sink. BACKGROUND

[0002] The current integrated sink integrates various products associated with the sink in space or function, including a dishwasher, a kitchen waste disposer, a thawing plate, etc.

[0003] The thawing plate is a tool for quickly thawing food, which is usually made of high thermal conductivity materials such as aluminum alloy. The frozen food is placed on the thawing plate, and the heat of the surrounding environment is quickly conducted to the frozen food after a period of time, thereby accelerating the thawing process. However, in the scenario of thawing thicker food or continuously thawing food, the temperature of the thawing plate will be continuously reduced by the temperature of the food during the heat conduction, affecting the thawing efficiency for a long time.

[0004] The existing kitchen waste disposer generally includes a housing with an inlet and an outlet, a crushing part arranged in the housing, and a driving mechanism for driving the crushing part to work. The crushing part can crush the kitchen waste entering from the inlet under the drive of the driving mechanism. The sink integrated with the kitchen waste disposer has the structure disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent "Integrated sink" (authorized publication number CN220352961U) with application number CN202321909496.5, the Chinese utility model patent "Integrated sink" (authorized publication number CN218861683U) with application number CN202222907376.3, etc. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model solves the technical problem of the prior art, and provides an integrated sink to improve the thawing efficiency of the thawing plate.

[0006] The utility model solves the above technical problems by adopting the following technical scheme: an integrated sink, comprising:

[0007] A sink body is provided with a thawing plate at the bottom and a discharge port;

[0008] A kitchen waste disposer is arranged outside the sink body and has a crushing chamber with an inlet and an outlet, a crushing part arranged in the crushing chamber, the inlet is in communication with the discharge port of the sink body, and the crushing part can work under the drive of the driving mechanism to crush the kitchen waste entering from the inlet;

[0009] An electric control assembly is electrically connected with the driving mechanism;

[0010] Characterized in that:

[0011] The electric control assembly is arranged below the thawing plate, and a closed heat dissipation chamber is formed between the upper side of the electric control assembly and the lower surface of the thawing plate, and the heat dissipation chamber has a heat exchange medium capable of phase changing between gas and liquid with temperature change.

[0012] In this way, the heat generated by the electric control assembly during the operation of the kitchen waste processor is transferred to the heat dissipation chamber in the form of heat conduction, and then transferred to the thawing plate on the sink body in the form of phase change heat exchange of the heat exchange medium, so as to balance the poor thawing effect caused by the temperature reduction of the thawing plate during operation. At the same time, the temperature rise of the electric control assembly can be effectively reduced, and the service life of the electric control assembly can be improved.

[0013] The working principle of phase change heat exchange is as follows: when the thawing plate is placed with low-temperature food to be thawed, the low temperature of the food causes the temperature of the place in contact with the food to decrease through heat conduction. Since the heat exchange medium (such as refrigerant) in the heat dissipation chamber is in a gas-liquid mixed state, and the density of gaseous refrigerant is different from that of liquid refrigerant, the gaseous refrigerant is generally located in the upper part of the internal space of the heat dissipation chamber, and the liquid refrigerant is generally located in the lower part of the internal space of the heat dissipation chamber. At this time, the gaseous refrigerant in the upper part of the internal space of the heat dissipation chamber will be liquefied into liquid refrigerant under low temperature, and during the liquefaction process, a certain amount of heat will be released, which will inhibit or slow down the temperature reduction of the part of the thawing plate in contact with the food, so that the heat exchange between the food and the thawing plate is more continuous and efficient.

[0014] Preferably, the heat dissipation chamber has a first heat-conductive bottom wall, a first side wall extending upward from the periphery of the first heat-conductive bottom wall, and the upper edge of the first side wall is supported on the lower side of the thawing plate, and the first heat-conductive bottom wall, the first side wall and the thawing plate together form the heat dissipation chamber.

[0015] The upper side of the electric control assembly is attached below the first heat-conductive bottom wall.

[0016] Of course, the heat dissipation chamber can also be formed directly by the first side wall, the lower surface of the thawing plate and the upper surface of the electric control assembly.

[0017] To improve the heat dissipation effect, preferably, the upper surface of the first heat-conductive bottom wall is spaced apart and arranged with fins extending upward, and flow channels are formed between adjacent fins.

[0018] Preferably, the upper edge of the first side wall is located at the periphery of the thawing plate.

[0019] In the above schemes, preferably, the bottom of the sink body is a stepped portion having an upper step surface, a lower step surface and an intermediate vertical surface connecting the upper and lower step surfaces, and the upper step surface is the upper surface of the thawing plate.

[0020] The thawing plate and the sink body are integrally designed, and the thawing plate part can adopt high-heat-conducting alloy material.

[0021] Preferably, the kitchen garbage disposer is arranged below the upper step surface, the feeding port is arranged on the sidewall of the crushing chamber and is connected with the discharging port on the intermediate vertical surface.

[0022] The upper step surface of the step part of the sink body can block the upward propagation of noise generated by the kitchen garbage disposer during operation, thereby reducing the noise. Since the feeding port is arranged on the sidewall of the crushing chamber, the kitchen garbage can be prevented from splashing upward during crushing. Since the feeding port is arranged on the sidewall of the crushing chamber and is connected with the discharging port on the intermediate vertical surface, the water in the sink can carry the kitchen garbage in the sink to pass through the discharging port and the feeding port into the crushing chamber, thereby realizing the integration of the automatic water feeding of the garbage disposer and the sink cleaning function, improving the automatic cleaning effect of the sink and saving water and electricity energy.

[0023] Preferably, the electric control assembly is arranged below the thawing plate and above the kitchen garbage disposer.

[0024] Preferably, the upper step surface and the lower step surface are arranged left and right, and the lower step surface is inclined downward from right to left. Therefore, the kitchen garbage on the lower step surface can flow into the feeding port of the kitchen garbage disposer under the gravity of the kitchen garbage and the scouring of the water flow.

[0025] Further, the lower edge of the discharging port is located on the lower step surface of the step part. Therefore, the kitchen garbage on the lower step surface and the water flow can enter the kitchen garbage disposer through the discharging port.

[0026] Further, the lower edge of the feeding port is supported below the lower step surface of the step part and outside the lower edge of the discharging port. Therefore, the kitchen garbage on the lower step surface and the water flow can enter the feeding port, and the feeding port and the discharging port can be prevented from leaking at the connecting position. The size requirement of the feeding port is not high, and the feeding port is convenient to connect with the discharging port.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that: the heat generated by the electric control assembly during the operation of the kitchen garbage disposer is transmitted to the heat dissipation chamber in the form of heat conduction, and then is transmitted to the thawing plate on the sink body in the form of heat exchange medium phase change, thereby balancing the temperature reduction of the thawing plate during operation and improving the thawing effect. At the same time, the temperature rise of the electric control assembly can be effectively reduced, and the service life of the electric control assembly is improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
