[0066] One end of coupling 400 is connected to cleaning part 300, the other end of coupling 400 is connected to garbage disposal 500, garbage disposal 500 can drive coupling 400 and cleaning part 300 to rotate together, thereby cleaning sink 200 or fruits and vegetables, and garbage disposal 500 can cooperatively process food residues generated during cleaning. Sink cleaning device 100 can process single cleaning task, and can also realize synchronous working of cleaning and garbage disposal.
[0067] By arranging first detection part 600 between coupling 400 and garbage disposal 500, first detection part 600 is used to detect the load condition and working state of garbage disposal 500, and second detection part 700 is arranged between coupling 400 and cleaning part 300, second detection part 700 is used to detect the load condition of cleaning part 300, first detection part 600 and second detection part 700 transmit the detection results to the controller, the output end of controller is electrically connected to garbage disposal 500, and the controller adjusts the operation condition of garbage disposal 500 according to the detection results, so that sink cleaning device 100 can adjust the running rate according to different cleaning conditions, the collaborative effect of cleaning part 300 and garbage disposal 500 is better, cleaning efficiency is optimized, cleaning efficiency is improved, and user experience is improved.
[0068] In the embodiment, the first detection component 600 and the second detection component 700 are used to detect the rotating speed and / or the torque. Specifically, the first detection component 600 and the second detection component 700 are both torque sensors. In other embodiments, other indexes considered suitable by those skilled in the art can also be detected.
[0069] The sink cleaning device 100 further comprises a display electrically connected to the first detection component 600 and the second detection component 700, and the display is used to display the detection results of the first detection component 600 and the second detection component 700. The display can display the detection results of the first detection component 600 and the second detection component 700, and the user can adjust the water flow of the faucet according to the displayed detection results, thereby assisting the flushing of the residual waste and further improving the garbage cleaning efficiency.
[0070] The sink cleaning device 100 further comprises a reducer 800, and the garbage disposer 500 further comprises an output shaft 510, one end of the reducer 800 is connected to the output shaft 510, and the other end of the reducer 800 is detachably connected to the coupling 400. The first detection component 600 is arranged between the reducer 800 and the output shaft 510. By arranging the reducer 800, the rotating power of the garbage disposer 500 can be transmitted to the coupling 400 and play a role of reducing speed, and then transmitted to the cleaning component for cleaning by the rotation of the cleaning component. By arranging the first detection component 600 between the reducer 800 and the output shaft 510, the load detection of the garbage disposer 500 can be more accurate.
[0071] The first detection component 600 is mounted on the output shaft 510 of the garbage disposer 500 and is used to detect the torque output by the motor. The torque includes two parts, one part is consumed by the cutter head and other components for cutting garbage, and the other part of the torque drives the cleaning component to rotate and clean after passing through the reducer 800.
[0072] The torque of the output end of the garbage disposer 500 is T0, the torque of the cutter head load is T1, the torque of the cleaning component is T2, and the reduction ratio of the reducer 800 is R. In the case of neglecting loss, it substantially satisfies the formula: T0=T1+T2 / R. Wherein, T0 is measured by the first detection component 600, and T2 is measured by the second detection component 700.
[0073] When T0 is greater than T2 / R, it indicates that the cutter head load torque T1 is relatively large, i.e., the garbage disposer 500 is working at a relatively high degree. At this time, the controller can automatically increase the rotating speed and torque of the motor of the garbage disposer 500 to enhance the cutting effect of the cutter head, and the user can also open the faucet to increase the water flow to speed up the flushing of the residual waste.
[0074] When the difference between T0 and T2 / R is small or close, it indicates that the cutter head load torque is small, and the main load is the cleaning component. At this time, the controller can adjust the speed and torque of the motor of the garbage disposer 500 to make it work smoothly at a higher energy efficiency point. Similarly, the user can adjust the water flow of the faucet to consume less water.
[0075] As shown in Figure 4 The reducer 800 includes a planetary gear 810 connected to the output shaft 510 and a ring gear 820 sleeved on the outer circumferential side of the planetary gear 810. The rotating power of the garbage disposer 500 is transmitted to the planetary gear 810 through the output shaft 510 and is decelerated by the planetary gear 810 before being transmitted to the coupler 400. The coupler 400 is in contact with the ring gear 820, so that the ring gear 820 is fixed by the coupler 400 and does not rotate with the planetary gear 810, thereby making the connection between the coupler 400 and the reducer 800 more stable.
[0076] As shown in Figure 6 The coupler 400 includes a mounting seat 410 and a rotating shaft 420 rotatably connected in the mounting seat 410. The mounting seat 410 is detachably connected with the ring gear 820, and the rotating shaft 420 is detachably connected with the planetary gear 810.

By setting the end of the reducer 800 detachably connected with the coupler 400 as a conical protrusion 830, when the coupler 400 is detached from the reducer 800, the conical design on the reducer 800 can increase the centrifugal effect of the kitchen waste subjected to rotation, so that the kitchen waste can be thrown faster to the wall for cutting, thereby improving the efficiency of garbage crushing to a certain extent. The coupler 400 is provided with a conical groove 430 matching the shape of the conical protrusion 830, so that when the coupler 400 is installed on the reducer 800, the coupler 400 and the reducer 800 can be more closely attached, and the connection between the coupler 400 and the reducer 800 is more stable.

The conical groove 430 is provided with a spline 831 groove matching the shape of the spline 831, so that when the coupler 400 is installed on the reducer 800, the coupler 400 and the reducer 800 can be more closely attached, and the connection between the coupler 400 and the reducer 800 is more stable.

By arranging the second detection component 700 between the connecting piece 900 and the cleaning component 300, the second detection component 700 can more accurately detect the load of the cleaning component 300.
[0080] The connecting piece 900 comprises a plug-in part 910, a connecting rod 920 and a connecting disc 930 connected in sequence from bottom to top, the coupler 400 comprises a connecting head 440, the plug-in part 910 and the connecting head 440 are snap-connected, the bottom of the cleaning component 300 is provided with a groove 310, and the connecting disc 930 is connected to the groove 310.
