Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen equipment technology, specifically to a pulsator cleaning machine and an integrated sink. Background Technology
[0002] The sink-type washer inside the integrated sink is used to wash dishes, fruits and vegetables, etc.
[0003] To improve cleaning results, people have applied the rotating impeller cleaning solution to sink-type dishwashers. For example, the Chinese patent application number CN201820891413.7, "A Sink Dishwasher", places the impeller assembly at the bottom of the dish rack to rotate and repeatedly rise and fall, enhancing the turbulence of the water and making the cleaning more efficient and faster.
[0004] However, in related technologies, the inner basket of the impeller cleaning machine is precisely and professionally assembled and fixed inside the outer drum during the manufacturing process. Non-professional technicians cannot easily and quickly disassemble the inner basket. After purchasing this type of cleaning machine, as the usage time and number of uses increase, the bacteria accumulation inside the inner basket increases, affecting the cleaning effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] The first technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a pulsator cleaning machine with an inner basket that is easy to load and unload, in light of the current state of the technology.
[0006] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated water tank that uses the above-mentioned impeller cleaning machine.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the first technical problem mentioned above is: a pulsator cleaning machine, comprising an outer tub, an inner basket disposed inside the outer tub, and a drive assembly for driving the inner basket to rotate, characterized in that:
[0008] The driving component includes:
[0009] A rotating seat is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer barrel. Multiple transmission blocks are arranged circumferentially on its outer peripheral wall, with channels forming between adjacent transmission blocks.
[0010] A driving component is used to drive the rotating seat to rotate;
[0011] The bottom of the inner basket has a mounting groove for the rotating seat to be inserted. The inner wall of the mounting groove is provided with multiple driven ribs that correspond to the channels and can pass through the corresponding channels. The bottom end of each driven rib has a limiting block, which is limited to the bottom of the adjacent transmission block during the rotation of the rotating seat.
[0012] In order to facilitate the passage of the limiting block through the channel while preventing the inner basket from easily detaching from the rotating seat, the width of the limiting block is denoted as W1, and the width of the channel is denoted as W2, where W1 < W2 < 1.5W1.
[0013] In order to guide the limiting block downward into the channel and facilitate the installation of the inner basket, the bottom of both sides of the limiting block has a first guide slope corresponding to the adjacent transmission block, and the first guide slope gradually approaches the corresponding transmission block from bottom to top.
[0014] In order to guide the limiting block downward into the channel, thereby facilitating the installation of the inner basket, the top of both sides of the transmission block has a second guide slope corresponding to the adjacent driven rib, and the second guide slope gradually approaches the corresponding driven rib from top to bottom.
[0015] In order to guide the limiting block upward into the channel, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the inner basket, the top of both sides of the limiting block has a third guiding slope corresponding to the adjacent transmission block, and the third guiding slope gradually approaches the corresponding transmission block from top to bottom.
[0016] To improve the rotational stability of the inner basket, an annular rib is provided on the top wall inside the mounting groove, and multiple arc-shaped ribs are provided on the top wall of the rotating seat at intervals along the circumference, with each arc-shaped rib located on the outer periphery of the annular rib.
[0017] To facilitate user access to and from the inner basket, the top edge of the inner basket has a pair of symmetrically arranged handles.
[0018] To facilitate the processing of the handle, the edge of the top of the inner basket is partially bent inward to form the handle.
[0019] To facilitate the rotation of the rotating seat, the driving component is a motor, which is installed at the bottom of the outer barrel. The power output shaft of the motor passes through the bottom wall of the outer barrel and is connected to the rotating seat.
[0020] To facilitate water inlet and outlet, the outer tub has a water inlet on its side wall and a drain outlet on its bottom wall.
[0021] To prevent large particles of dirt from clogging the pipes through the drain outlet, a filter screen is installed at the drain outlet.
[0022] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the second technical problem mentioned above is: an integrated water tank, including a water tank, characterized in that: it also includes the above-mentioned impeller cleaning machine, which is disposed on the water tank.
[0023] To facilitate the installation of the impeller cleaning machine, the water tank includes interconnected tank bodies and a fixed cylinder, with the outer bucket located inside the fixed cylinder.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: During operation, the driving component drives the rotating seat to rotate. When the transmission block rotates to contact the adjacent driven rib, it will drive the entire inner basket to rotate synchronously through the driven rib. At this time, the limiting block of the driven rib is located at the bottom of the adjacent transmission block, realizing the inverted hanging effect and preventing the inner basket from rotating and rising under the action of centrifugal force and detaching from the rotating seat. During loading and unloading, the limiting block at the bottom of the driven rib can quickly pass through the channel between the adjacent transmission blocks to realize quick loading and unloading, which facilitates the cleaning of the inner basket.

For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 8 The image shows a preferred embodiment of the integrated sink of this utility model. The integrated sink includes a sink 1 and a pulsator washing machine disposed on the sink 1. The pulsator washing machine includes an outer tub 2, an inner basket 3, and a drive assembly 4.
[0036] The water tank 1 includes a tank body 11 and a fixed cylinder 12 that are connected to each other.
[0037] The outer tub 2 is located inside the fixed tube 12. Specifically, the outer tub 2 has a water inlet 21 on its side wall and a drain outlet 22 on its bottom wall, and the drain outlet 22 is covered with a filter screen 23.
[0038] The inner basket 3 is located inside the outer bucket 2. Specifically, the bottom of the inner basket 3 has a mounting groove 31, and the inner wall of the mounting groove 31 has multiple driven ribs 311 arranged circumferentially at intervals. The bottom end of each driven rib 311 has a limiting block 3111. The edge of the top of the inner basket 3 is partially bent inward to form a pair of symmetrically arranged handles 32.
[0039] The drive assembly 4 is used to drive the inner basket 3 to rotate, and includes a rotating base 41 and a drive component 42.
[0040] Specifically, the rotating seat 41 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer barrel 2, and its top can be inserted into the mounting groove 31. The outer peripheral wall of the rotating seat 41 is provided with a plurality of transmission blocks 411 arranged circumferentially, and a channel 4110 is formed between two adjacent transmission blocks 411. The aforementioned driven ribs 311 correspond one-to-one with the channel 4110 and can pass through the corresponding channel 4110. The limiting block 3111 of each driven rib 311 can be limited to the bottom of the adjacent transmission block 411 during the rotation of the rotating seat 41, so as to prevent the inner basket 3 from rotating and rising under the action of centrifugal force and detaching from the rotating seat 41.
[0041] The driving component 42 is a motor, which is installed at the bottom of the outer barrel 2. The power output shaft 421 of the motor passes through the bottom wall of the outer barrel 2 and is connected to the bottom of the rotating seat 41 to drive the rotating seat 41 to rotate.
[0042] In order to facilitate the passage of the limiting block 3111 through the channel 4110 while preventing the inner basket 3 from easily detaching from the rotating seat 41, the width of the limiting block 3111 is denoted as W1, and the width of the channel 4110 is denoted as W2, where W1 < W2 < 1.5W1.
[0043] In order to guide the limiting block 3111 downward into the channel 4110, thereby facilitating the installation of the inner basket 3, the bottom of both sides of the limiting block 3111 has a first guide slope 3112 corresponding to the adjacent transmission block 411, and the first guide slope 3112 gradually approaches the corresponding transmission block 411 from bottom to top; the top of both sides of the transmission block 411 has a second guide slope 4111 corresponding to the adjacent driven rib 311, and the second guide slope 4111 gradually approaches the corresponding driven rib 311 from top to bottom.
[0044] In order to guide the limiting block 3111 upward into the channel 4110, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the inner basket 3, the top of both sides of the limiting block 3111 has a third guide slope 3113 corresponding to the adjacent transmission block 411. The third guide slope 3113 gradually approaches the corresponding transmission block 411 from top to bottom.
[0045] To improve the rotational stability of the inner basket 3, an annular rib 312 is provided on the top wall inside the mounting groove 31, and multiple arc-shaped ribs 412 are provided on the top wall of the rotating seat 41 at intervals along the circumference, with each arc-shaped rib 412 located on the outer periphery of the annular rib 312.
[0046] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0047] (1) During installation, simply align the mounting slot 31 of the inner basket 3 with the rotating seat 41 and place it into the outer bucket 2. Under the action of gravity, the limiting blocks 3111 of each moving rib 311 will slide down the guide slope into the corresponding channel 4110 and pass through the channel 4110, thereby installing the inner basket 3 in place.
[0048] (2) During operation, the drive component 42 drives the rotating seat 41 to rotate. When the transmission block 411 rotates to contact the adjacent driven rib 311, it will drive the entire inner basket 3 to rotate synchronously through the driven rib 311. At this time, the limiting block 3111 of the driven rib 311 is limited to the bottom of the adjacent transmission block 411, realizing the inverted hanging effect and preventing the inner basket 3 from rotating and rising under the action of centrifugal force (whether it is left-handed or right-handed) and detaching from the rotating seat 41.
[0049] (3) When disassembling, simply hold the handle 32 and lift the inner basket 3. Under the action of the pull, the limiting blocks 3111 of each moving rib 311 can slide upward along the guide slope into the corresponding channel 4110 and pass through the channel 4110, thereby taking out the inner basket 3 and making it convenient to clean the inner basket 3.
