Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen equipment technology, specifically to an integrated sink. Background Technology

[0002] Current integrated sinks combine multiple products that are spatially or functionally related to the sink, including washing machines, water purifiers, garbage disposers, and cup washers.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number CN202080071080.3, entitled "System and Method for Controlling the Operating State of a Garbage Disposal Unit", discloses a technical solution that integrates a garbage disposal unit with a water tank.

[0004] However, in the above solution, when garbage needs to be disposed of, the user needs to manually push the dirty kitchen waste into the garbage disposal's inlet, and the garbage enters the kitchen waste pulverizing chamber for pulverization. There is not much interaction between the two, and the user experience is not good. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated water tank that can automatically collect garbage into a garbage disposal unit, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problem is as follows: an integrated water tank, including a tank body with a drain outlet at the bottom and a garbage disposal unit connected below the drain outlet, characterized in that: it further includes a cleaning device, which includes...

[0007] The main body is slidably installed in the groove.

[0008] A scraper, mounted on the main body, can rub against the inner wall of the groove as it moves synchronously with the main body; and

[0009] A driving component is used to drive the main body to move left and right.

[0010] To achieve automatic waste recycling, the scraper is U-shaped, with its ends abutting against the front and rear side walls and bottom wall inside the tank, so that the cleaning device divides the inner cavity of the tank into two independent chambers.

[0011] To facilitate pushing the waste into the drain, the bottom wall of the tank has a recess, and the drain is located on the bottom wall inside the recess.

[0012] To facilitate the collection of waste into the drain, the diameter of the recess gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0013] In order to drive the main body to move left and right, the front and rear side walls of the groove are provided with racks that extend in the left and right direction with the protruding teeth facing down.

[0014] The driving component includes:

[0015] Two gears, corresponding to the rack, are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the main body, respectively, with their rotation axes extending in the front-rear direction. Each gear meshes with its corresponding rack.

[0016] Two driving components, corresponding to the gears, are used to drive the corresponding gears to rotate.

[0017] In order to enable the main body to slide left and right in the groove and reduce friction, the drive assembly also includes two sets of support wheel groups located on the front and rear sides of the main body respectively. Each support wheel group includes at least two support wheels arranged at intervals in the left and right direction. Each support wheel is rotatably connected to the main body and its rotation axis extends in the vertical direction. Each support wheel can be rolled and rest on the top surface of the corresponding rack.

[0018] To achieve the self-cleaning function of the sink, the cleaning device also includes:

[0019] A spray assembly, mounted on the main body, is used to spray a cleaning medium onto the inner wall of the tank; and

[0020] A cleaning medium supply assembly, installed on the main body, is used to supply cleaning medium to the spray assembly.

[0021] To ensure that the spray area covers the entire tank as much as possible, the spray assembly includes:

[0022] Two fan-shaped nozzles are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the main body; and

[0023] Two waterfall nozzles are installed on the left and right sides of the main body, respectively.

[0024] To avoid cleaning dead spots, the cleaning medium ejected from the fan-shaped nozzle is sprayed onto the inner wall of the tank, covering the front and rear side walls and bottom wall of the tank.

[0025] To avoid splashing and to prevent the cleaning media sprayed from the two nozzles from interfering with each other, the main body has a double layer on both the front and rear sides. The bottom and front sides of the double layer on the front side are open, and the bottom and rear sides of the double layer on the rear side are open.

[0026] The fan-shaped nozzle located on the front side is mounted on the top of the rear side of the interlayer located on the front side, and the fan-shaped nozzle located on the rear side is mounted on the top of the front side of the interlayer located on the rear side.

[0027] To avoid cleaning dead corners, the spray nozzles of each waterfall water nozzle extend in the front-to-back direction and face the bottom wall inside the tank.

[0028] To supply cleaning media to the spray assembly, the cleaning media supply assembly includes:

[0029] A reservoir for storing cleaning media; and

[0030] The pump has its inlet end connected to the liquid storage chamber via a pipeline, and its outlet end connected to the fan-shaped nozzle and the waterfall nozzle via a pipeline.

[0031] To facilitate the formation of the liquid storage chamber and the installation of the delivery pump, the liquid storage chamber is formed in the hollow interior of the main body, and the delivery pump is installed at the top of the inner cavity of the main body.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the main body is driven to move left and right in the tank by the drive component, and the scraper installed on the main body can rub against the inner wall of the tank during the synchronous movement with the main body. During this process, the garbage is pushed by the scraper into the drain and enters the garbage disposal unit. It can be seen that the integrated water tank can automatically collect garbage into the garbage disposal unit and is easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

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

[0039] 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 body 1, a cleaning device 2, and a garbage disposal unit 3.

[0040] The tank 1 has a recessed part 11 on the bottom wall on the left side, and a drain outlet 111 is provided on the bottom wall inside the recessed part 11. The diameter of the recessed part 11 gradually decreases from top to bottom, so as to facilitate the collection of garbage to the drain outlet 111. The tank 1 has a toothed rack 12 on the side walls on both the front and rear sides, which extends in the left and right direction and has downward protruding teeth.

[0041] The cleaning device 2 includes a main body 21, a scraper 22, a drive assembly 23, a spray nozzle 24, and a cleaning media supply assembly 25.

[0042] Specifically, the main body 21 can be slidably installed in the groove 1. In this embodiment, the interior of the main body 21 is hollow and includes a base 211 with an open top and a top cover 212 covering the top of the base 211; the base 211 has a double layer 2111 on both the front and rear sides, the bottom and front sides of the double layer 2111 on the front side are open, and the bottom and rear sides of the double layer 2111 on the rear side are open.

[0043] The scraper 22 is mounted on the main body 21 and can make frictional contact with the inner wall of the tank 1 as it moves synchronously with the main body 21. In this embodiment, the scraper 22 is U-shaped, and the end of the scraper 22 abuts against the front and rear side walls and bottom wall inside the tank 1, so that the cleaning device 2 divides the inner cavity of the tank 1 into two independent chambers.

[0044] The drive assembly 23 is used to drive the main body 21 to move left and right. In this embodiment, the drive assembly 23 includes a gear 231, a drive element 232, and a support wheel set.

[0045] Specifically, there are two gears 231, which correspond one-to-one with the rack 12, and are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the base 211 respectively, with their rotation axes extending in the front-rear direction; each gear 231 meshes with the corresponding rack 12.

[0046] There are two drive components 232, which correspond one-to-one with the gears 231 mentioned above; the power output end of each drive component 232 is coaxially connected to the corresponding gear 231 to drive the gear 231 to rotate.

[0047] There are two sets of support wheels, located on the front and rear sides of the base 211 respectively; each set of support wheels includes two support wheels 233 arranged at intervals in the left and right direction, each support wheel 233 is rotatably connected to the base 211 and its rotation axis extends in the vertical direction; each support wheel 233 can be rolled on the top surface of the corresponding rack 12.

[0048] The spray assembly 24 is mounted on the main body 21 and is used to spray cleaning medium onto the inner wall of the tank 1. In this embodiment, the spray assembly 24 includes a fan-shaped nozzle 241 and a waterfall nozzle 242.

[0049] Specifically, there are two fan-shaped nozzles 241, which are installed on the front and rear sides of the base 211 respectively. The fan-shaped nozzle 241 on the front side is installed on the top of the rear side of the interlayer 2111 on the front side, and the fan-shaped nozzle 241 on the rear side is installed on the top of the front side of the interlayer 2111 on the rear side, so that the spray area of ​​the cleaning medium ejected from the fan-shaped nozzles 241 towards the inner wall of the tank 1 covers the front and rear side walls and bottom wall of the tank 1. The reason for placing the fan-shaped nozzles 241 in the interlayer 2111 is mainly because when the high-pressure water ejected by the fan-shaped nozzles 241 is sprayed onto the inner wall of the tank 1, it will produce a strong splashing phenomenon, and the interlayer 2111 can play a good water-blocking effect.

[0050] There are two waterfall water nozzles 242, which are installed on the left and right sides of the base 211 respectively; the spray nozzles of each waterfall water nozzle 242 extend in the front-back direction and face the bottom wall inside the tank 1.

[0051] A cleaning medium supply assembly 25 is installed inside the main body 21 and is used to supply cleaning medium to the spray assembly 24. In this embodiment, the cleaning medium supply assembly 25 includes a liquid storage chamber 251 and a delivery pump 242. Specifically, the liquid storage chamber 251 is formed by the inner cavity of the base 211 and is used to store clean water as the cleaning medium; the delivery pump 252 is installed at the bottom of the top cover 212, and its inlet end is connected to the liquid storage chamber 251 through a pipeline (not shown in the figure), and its outlet end is connected to the fan-shaped nozzle 241 and the waterfall nozzle 242 through a pipeline (not shown in the figure).

[0052] The garbage disposal unit 3 is connected below the drain outlet 111.

[0053] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0054] (1) When garbage disposal is required, the drive component 23 drives the main body 21 to move left and right, causing the scraper 22 to rub against the inner wall of the tank 1. During this process, the garbage is pushed by the scraper 22 to the recess 11 and enters the garbage processor 3 through the drain 111. At the same time, the cleaning device 2 and the left side of the tank 1 form an independent water storage space. The waterfall nozzle 242 on the left sprays waterfall water into the water storage space. At this time, the drain of the garbage processor 3 is closed. Some garbage enters the garbage processor 3 under the impact of the waterfall water, while other garbage fails to enter the garbage processor 3. When the water storage reaches a certain capacity, the garbage processor 3 starts to work (because when the garbage processor 3 works, it will drive its internal blades to rotate, so the water surface in the above-mentioned water storage space will form a vortex). At the same time, the drain of the garbage processor 3 opens, driving another part of the garbage to spin into the garbage processor 3. In this way, the automatic collection and recycling of garbage and garbage disposal are realized.

[0055] (2) When the water tank needs to be self-cleaned, the drive component 23 drives the main body 21 to move left and right. During this process, the cleaning medium supply component 25 supplies clean water to the spray component 24 and sprays it onto the inner wall of the tank 1 to clean the inner wall of the tank 1. At the same time, the scraper 22 rubs against the inner wall of the tank 1 to remove the water remaining on the inner wall of the tank 1.
