[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] A controller is electrically connected with the driving mechanism;
[0010] It is characterized in that it further comprises:
[0011] The heat-conducting member is arranged between the thawing plate and the electrical member and is capable of transferring the heat generated by the electrical member to the thawing plate to increase the temperature of the thawing plate.
[0012] The electrical member is a driving mechanism and / or a controller.
[0013] When the kitchen waste processor is in operation, the heat generated by the internal electrical member can heat the thawing plate through the heat-conducting member, thereby balancing the decrease of the thawing effect caused by the decrease of the temperature of the thawing plate during the operation of the thawing plate.
[0014] Preferably, the heat-conducting member has a heat exchange channel therein, the heat exchange channel has a water inlet for the water source to enter and a water outlet for the water source to output, and a pipe wall capable of conducting heat between the water inlet and the water outlet of the heat exchange channel is attached to the electrical member.
[0015] The thawing plate is provided with a water inlet chamber having an inlet and an outlet, and the inlet is communicated with the water outlet of the heat exchange channel.
[0016] The heat generated by the electrical member can be conducted to the water in the heat exchange channel, and the heated water enters the water inlet chamber to heat the thawing plate.
[0017] Preferably, the crushing chamber has a water inlet communicated with the outlet of the water inlet chamber, that is, the heated water in the water inlet chamber can be used as the water inlet of the kitchen waste processor to flush the interior of the crushing chamber, so as to further utilize the heat generated by the electrical member and reduce the energy consumption.
[0018] Further, the kitchen waste processor is located below the water inlet chamber, and the top wall of the crushing chamber is provided with the water inlet. The water inlet is located on the top wall of the crushing chamber, so that the water output from the water inlet can flow downward as a whole to block the kitchen waste residues from splashing upward during crushing, and the flushing effect on the interior of the crushing chamber can be improved.
[0019] In the above scheme, in order to enhance the heat exchange effect, preferably, a partition plate is vertically arranged in the water inlet chamber to divide the interior space of the water inlet chamber into a meandering channel, and the inlet and the outlet are located at two ends of the channel. The meandering channel can prolong the residence time of the water in the water inlet chamber and enhance the heat exchange effect between the water and the thawing plate.
[0020] Further, the top wall of the water inlet chamber is the thawing plate.
[0021] In the above scheme, preferably, the heat-conducting member is a heat pipe having a working liquid capable of phase change therein, the evaporation end of the heat pipe is attached to the electrical member, and the condensation end of the heat pipe directly or indirectly acts on the lower surface of the thawing plate.
[0022] Preferably, the thawing plate is provided with a heat-conducting chamber filled with heat-conducting medium below, and the condensing end of the heat pipe is located in the heat-conducting chamber and is provided with heat dissipation fins.

[0024] The kitchen waste processor is arranged below the upper stepped surface, and the feeding port is arranged on the sidewall of the crushing chamber and is connected to the discharging port on the intermediate vertical surface.
[0025] Since the feeding port is arranged on the sidewall of the crushing chamber and is connected to the discharging port on the intermediate vertical surface, the water in the sink can carry the kitchen waste in the sink through the discharging port and the feeding port into the crushing chamber, thereby realizing the integration of the automatic water feeding of the kitchen waste processor and the sink cleaning function, improving the automatic cleaning effect of the sink and saving water and electricity energy. Since the feeding port is arranged on the sidewall of the crushing chamber, the kitchen waste can be prevented from splashing upward during crushing.
[0026] Preferably, the upper stepped surface and the lower stepped surface are arranged left and right, and the lower stepped surface is inclined downward from right to left. Thus, the kitchen waste on the lower stepped surface can flow into the feeding port of the kitchen waste processor under the action of gravity and water flow.
[0027] Preferably, the lower edge of the discharging port is located on the lower stepped surface of the stepped portion. Thus, the kitchen waste on the lower stepped surface and the water flow can enter the kitchen waste processor through the discharging port.
[0028] Further, the lower edge of the feeding port is supported below the lower stepped surface of the stepped portion and around the lower edge of the discharging port. Thus, the kitchen waste on the lower stepped 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 joint position. The size requirement of the feeding port is not high, and the feeding port is convenient to connect to the discharging port.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the kitchen waste processor has the advantages that the heat generated by the internal electrical components during operation of the kitchen waste processor can heat the thawing plate through the heat-conducting component, thereby balancing the decrease of the thawing effect caused by the temperature decrease during the operation of the thawing plate. At the same time, the temperature rise of the electrical components can be effectively reduced, and the service life of the electrical components can be improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
