For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 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, a drive unit 4, a filter screen 5, a magnet 6, and a Hall sensor 7.

[0028] The water tank 1 includes a tank body 11 and a fixed cylinder 12 that are connected to each other.

[0029] The outer tub 2 is located inside the fixed tube 12. In this embodiment, the outer tub 2 and the fixed tube 12 are an integral piece. Specifically, the outer tub 2 has a water inlet 21 on its side wall; a recessed portion 22 is formed at the eccentric position of the bottom wall inside the outer tub 2, and a drain outlet 221 is provided on the bottom wall of the recessed portion 22. A drain pipe 2211 is connected to the drain outlet 221, and a drain valve 2212 is installed on the drain pipe 2211; a sheet-shaped metal part 23 that can be attracted by a magnet 6 is installed on the bottom wall outside the recessed portion 22.

[0030] The inner basket 3 is rotatably mounted inside the outer bucket 2.

[0031] The driving component 4 is a motor, which is installed at the bottom of the outer tub 2. The power output shaft of the motor passes through the bottom wall of the outer tub 2 and is connected to the inner basket 3 to drive the inner basket 3 to rotate.

[0032] The filter screen 5 is housed in the recess 22 and is used to cover the drain outlet 221. Specifically, the surface of the filter screen 5 has a plurality of spaced mesh holes 50; the edge of the filter screen 5 is bent downward to form an annular protrusion 51, which surrounds the bottom wall of the recess 22 and the bottom wall of the filter screen 5 to form a buffer cavity 510. The mesh holes 50 and the drain outlet 221 are connected to the buffer cavity 510. In addition, two spaced mounting seats 511 are provided in the annular protrusion 51; the edge of the filter screen 5 has a folded edge 52 that gradually extends outward from bottom to top. Correspondingly, the side wall inside the recess 22 has a mating surface 222 that matches the folded edge 52, so as to facilitate the filter screen 5 being placed into the recess 22; the middle part of the surface of the filter screen 5 has a gripping part 53 for the user to hold, so as to facilitate the removal and placement of the filter screen 5. In this embodiment, the gripping part 53 is sheet-shaped, and the top two sides of the gripping part 53 are provided with lugs 531.

[0033] There are two magnets 6, which correspond to the mounting base 511. Each magnet 6 is embedded in the corresponding mounting base 511. Since there is a metal part 23 on the outer barrel 2 corresponding to the magnet 6, the filter screen 5 can be kept in the recess 22, preventing it from floating up under the action of water rotation force and removing the cover of the drain outlet 221, thus achieving stable positioning of the filter screen 5.

[0034] The Hall sensor 7 is installed on the side wall outside the recess 22. When the filter screen 5 covers the drain outlet 221, the magnet 6 is within the sensing range of the Hall sensor 7. Thus, when the filter screen 5 is not in place, the Hall sensor 7 can send a signal to remind the user.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0036] (1) During operation, since the filter screen 5 is provided with a magnet 6 and the outer barrel 2 is provided with a metal part 23 corresponding to the magnet 6, the filter screen 5 can be kept in the recess 22, preventing it from floating up under the action of the rotation force of the water and removing the cover of the drain outlet 221, thus achieving the stable position of the filter screen 5.

[0037] (2) When the filter needs to be cleaned, the user only needs to pinch the grip 53 to take out the filter 5 for cleaning. After cleaning, the filter 5 can be put into the recess 22 along the mating surface 222.

[0038] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0039] First, by using the metal part 23 in conjunction with the magnet 6, the filter screen 5 is kept in the recess 22, preventing it from floating up under the rotational force of the water and thus removing the cover of the drain outlet 221, thereby achieving stable positioning of the filter screen 5.

[0040] Second, by setting the gripping part 53 on the filter screen 5 and the cooperation between the folded edge 52 on the filter screen 5 and the inner mating surface 222 of the recessed part 22, and with the help of the magnet 6, the problems of difficult picking up and installing the filter screen 5 at a certain depth space position are solved.

[0041] Third, by using Hall sensor 7 in conjunction with magnet 6, Hall sensor 7 sends a signal to remind the user when filter screen 5 is not in place, preventing the user from forgetting to put in the manually cleaned filter screen 5, and preventing large particles of dirty water from entering the drain and causing blockage. This achieves a high user experience and long lifespan for the machine.
