[0023] The utility model is further described below through the specific implementation.

[0024] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, a self-cleaning under-sink basin includes a basin body 1, a water storage cavity 2 formed inside the basin body 1, a mounting edge 3 arranged around the water storage cavity 2 at the upper end of the basin body 1, a water outlet 4 arranged at the bottom of the basin body 1 and communicating with the water storage cavity 2, a cleaning groove 5 extending outward from the inner side of the mounting edge 3, a cleaning nozzle arranged in the mounting edge 3 to supply water to the cleaning groove 5, an overflow cavity 6 arranged in the basin body 1 and communicating with the water outlet 4, and an overflow outlet 7 arranged inside the water storage cavity 2 and connected to the overflow cavity 6. The overflow outlet 7 is arranged lower than the cleaning groove 5 and designed as a sunken structure, which can avoid affecting the washing effect and causing water leakage risk due to the protruding effect after the overflow ring is installed.

[0025] The cleaning groove 5 is circumferentially arranged on the inner side of the mounting edge 3 and around the water storage cavity 2, and its cleaning area covers the inner wall of the water storage cavity 2. The cleaning groove 5 includes two cleaning groove sections 51 connected end to end. Two cleaning nozzles are arranged to supply water to the opposite cleaning groove sections 51, respectively, so that the two cleaning groove sections 51 can clean at least half of the area of the inner wall of the water storage cavity, respectively, to achieve overall closed-loop washing of the water storage cavity 2. Specifically, the water area of the cleaning groove section 51 gradually decreases along the water flow direction, and the end of the cleaning groove section 51 with a small water area is connected to the end of the other cleaning groove section with a large water area, so that the two cleaning groove sections 51 are connected to form a cleaning groove 5 arranged around the water storage cavity 2, to effectively flush the inner wall of the water storage cavity 2. Further, the cross section of the cleaning groove section 51 is designed as a C shape, which can obviously control the advancing trend of the water flow, prevent the water flow from drifting out of the basin body 1, and effectively guide the water flow, so that part of the water flow washes downward and part of the water flow flows toward the direction of the other cleaning nozzle, thereby achieving overall washing of the inner wall of the water storage cavity 2.

[0026] The mounting edge 3 is formed with a mounting portion 31 protruding outward for mounting the cleaning nozzle. The mounting portion 31 is formed with a mounting groove 32 for mounting the cleaning nozzle. The mounting edge 3 is provided with a water inlet 33 extending upward from the bottom thereof and communicating with the mounting groove 32. The cleaning nozzle is fixed in the mounting groove 32 and connected to the water inlet 33. Specifically, the mounting groove 32 is arranged to form a hollow structure inside the mounting portion 31, so that the cleaning nozzle forms a hidden structure after installation, and only water flow appears clean during actual flushing.

[0027] In use, the inductor can be matched with the accessory, when someone comes to the basin to wash, the cleaning nozzle is automatically started to clean the inner wall of the water storage cavity 2, and the detergent can be matched with the cleaning and washing to clean the bacteria on the inner wall of the water storage cavity 2, and the user's experience is improved; and when the user finishes washing and leaves, the automatic flushing is performed again, and the residues on the inner wall of the water storage cavity 2 are completely flushed away, wherein the matching use of the inductor is a common technical means in the bathroom field, and the specific working principle thereof will not be further described.

[0028] The application limits the structure of the under-basin, sets the mounting edge 3 on the upper end of the basin body 1, sets the outwardly extending cleaning groove 5 on the inner side of the mounting edge 3, matches the cleaning nozzle, so that the water flow is sprayed forward along the cleaning groove 5, part of the water flow continuously flows downward along the inner wall of the water storage cavity 2, and the other part of the water flow continuously flows forward, so that the inner wall of the water storage cavity 2 is effectively cleaned, the detergent can be matched with the cleaning and washing during the washing process, the bacteria on the inner wall of the water storage cavity 2 are cleaned, and the user's experience is improved; in addition, the mounting edge 3 is outwardly protruded on both sides to form the mounting portions 31 for mounting the cleaning brush head, and the mounting portions 31 are formed with the mounting grooves 32 for mounting the cleaning brush head, so that the inside of the mounting portions 31 is designed as a hollow structure to form a hidden structure, only the water flow appears clean during the actual flushing process, and the overall appearance of the under-basin is not affected.

[0029] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the application, and therefore cannot limit the range of the application, that is, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the application range and content of the specification should still be within the range covered by the application.
