Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen equipment technology, specifically to a sink-type cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Nowadays, people have an increasing demand for kitchens that can be equipped with both a sink and a dishwasher. The main ways to achieve this on the market are separate (one sink and one built-in or countertop dishwasher) and integrated (sink dishwasher). For details, please refer to Chinese patent application number CN202322652519.5, "A Sink-type Washing Machine".

[0003] Due to limited overall kitchen space, the user experience of both the sink and dishwasher cannot be well balanced, especially in small apartments where countertop space is limited. Taking existing sink dishwashers as an example, if the dishwasher's functions, especially its capacity for more dishes, are to be accommodated, the sink space will be sacrificed, resulting in a poor daily sink user experience. On the other hand, if a larger sink is to be accommodated, the dishwasher's capacity will be reduced, thus compromising the dishwashing experience. Utility Model Content

In addition, the right edge of the bottom wall of the first drain box 61 bends upward to form a flange 612, which can act as a water barrier to ensure that the water in the first drain box 61 can flow normally to the deep groove area 10a.

[0045] The above-mentioned water tank cleaning machine has at least two states:

[0046] In the first state, such as Figure 1As shown, with the door 3 closed, the second shelf 5 is tilted down to its limit and covers the top of the door 3, forming a platform for placing items. At this time, the limiting post 51 at the left end of the second shelf 5 abuts against the top of the right edge of the first shelf 4, and the limiting post 51 at the right end of the second shelf 5 abuts against the top of the stop block 12. The fifth guide strip 52 is connected to the right end of the fourth guide strip 41. At the same time, the drain assembly 6 is located in the shallow groove area 10b and covers the top of the door 3, and the second drain box 62 extends outward from the first drain box 6. 1. At this time, the first guide rail 611 on the front side of the first drain box 61 can slide left and right on the top of the second guide bar 14 and provide guidance; the first guide rail 611 on the rear side of the first drain box 61 can slide left and right on the top of the fifth guide bar 52 and provide guidance; the second guide rail 621 on the front side of the second drain box 62 can slide left and right on the top of the third guide bar 15 and provide guidance; the second guide rail 621 on the rear side of the second drain box 62 can slide left and right on the top of the sixth guide bar 53 and provide guidance.

[0047] In the second state, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second shelf 5 flips up to its limit and removes its obstruction of the door 3. At this time, the limiting post 51 at the left end of the second shelf 5 disengages from the right side edge of the first shelf 4, and the limiting post 51 at the right end of the second shelf 5 disengages from the stop block 12. At the same time, the drain assembly 6 is located in the deep groove area 10a and removes its obstruction of the door 3. The second drain box 62 is retracted into the first drain box 61. At this time, the first guide rail 611 on the front side of the first drain box 61 can slide left and right on the top of the first guide bar 13 and provide guidance. The first guide rail 611 on the rear side of the first drain box 61 can slide left and right on the top of the fourth guide bar 41 and provide guidance.

[0048] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0049] (1) When there is no need to open or close the door 3, the drain assembly 6 can slide left or right, such as Figure 6 As shown, the drain assembly 6 is located in the deep groove area 10a, the door 3 is in the closed state, and the second shelf 5 is flipped up to the limit and is in the upright state.

[0050] If you want to expand the usable area of ​​the slot 1, first fold down the second shelf 5 until the limiting post 51 at the left end of the second shelf 5 abuts against the upper right edge of the first shelf 4, and the limiting post 51 at the right end of the second shelf 5 abuts against the upper stop block 12.

[0051] Next, push the drain assembly 6 to slide to the right until the first guide rail 611 on the front side of the first drain box 61 abuts against the left side of the third guide bar 15 and the first guide rail 611 on the rear side of the first drain box 61 abuts against the left side of the sixth guide bar 53. At this point, the first drain box 61 can no longer move to the right, while the second drain box 62 can continue to move to the right along the third guide bar 15 and the sixth guide bar 53 until the second limiting block 6211 abuts against the left side of the first limiting block 6111. At this point, if... Figure 1 As shown, the second drain box 62 extends to its limit position;

[0052] Thus, the large capacity expansion of the sink 1 has been achieved, greatly improving the user experience of the sink 1. At the same time, the second shelf 5 can also provide some convenience for users to temporarily put or take things out when operating on the drain box. Overall, the user experience of the large single sink has been improved.

[0053] (2) When the door 3 needs to be opened, the above operation can be reversed.

[0054] The advantages of the above scheme are:

[0055] (1) By setting a cleaning box 2 at the bottom of the shallow tank area 10b that is lower than the bottom surface of the shallow tank area 10b, the original cleaning box top and the tank top are adjusted from being roughly equal in height to having a certain height difference. The cleaning box 2 can make full use of the space under the cabinet. Even when the space on the upper side is reduced, it can still obtain space compensation from the lower side space, thereby improving the user experience of the large sink while taking into account the capacity of the cleaning machine.

[0056] (2) By setting the sliding drain assembly 4, the space located directly above the cleaning box 2 in the tank 1 can be fully utilized for draining without affecting the opening and closing of the door 3.
