[0048] Working principle: When water enters from the inlet pipe 7, the water flow can be adjusted by the handle 2 9 and flows out from the outlet pipe 10. The adjustable spray head 11 can spray all parts of the sink. Food residue is intercepted by the filter bucket 6. Fine particles pass through the filter bucket 6 and are crushed by the grinder 4 before being discharged through the drain pipe 5. After the grinder 4 crushes the residue into fine particles, they can pass smoothly through the pipe with the water flow, reducing the risk of pipe blockage and improving drainage efficiency. At the same time, untreated food residue will gradually rot and deteriorate in the sewer, producing an unpleasant odor. These odors will backflow into the kitchen through the sewer drain, affecting indoor air quality. The crushed food residue can be flushed away by the water flow more quickly, reducing the time it stays in the pipe, thus effectively inhibiting the generation of odors.

[0049] Open valve 205, and then water is drawn from inlet pipe 7 through hot water pipe 203 into water storage tank 201 by water pump 204. After being heated by heating pipe 202, water can be discharged from hot water pipe 203 by opening valve 205 at any time and finally flow out from outlet pipe 10. This method of drawing water into an independent water storage tank 201 for heating creates good conditions for precise water temperature control. The relatively enclosed environment of water storage tank 201 makes the heat distribution more even and reduces the interference of external factors. The water temperature can be accurately adjusted to the required temperature, avoiding damage to items and affecting the cleaning and treatment effect due to unsuitable water temperature.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
