Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen equipment technology, specifically to a garbage disposer and 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, the applicant's earlier Chinese patent application, CN202222907376.3, entitled "An Integrated Water Tank," disclosed a technical solution that combines a waste treatment device with a water tank.

[0004] However, in the above solution, the valve plate is moved by a drive component to control the opening and closing of the garbage disposal port, and this valve structure occupies a large space. Utility Model Content

[0005] The first technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a garbage disposer with a small space occupied by a valve structure, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0006] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated sink that incorporates the above-mentioned garbage disposal unit.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the first technical problem mentioned above is as follows: a garbage disposer, comprising a body with a feed inlet at the top and a valve structure for opening and closing the feed inlet, characterized in that: the valve structure includes...

[0008] A fixed base is installed on the top of the machine body and has a first through hole corresponding to the feed port and multiple strip grooves arranged circumferentially around the outer periphery of the first through hole;

[0009] A rotating disk, rotatably mounted on the fixed base, has a second through hole in its center corresponding to the first through hole; and

[0010] Multiple valve plates, corresponding to the strip grooves, are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotating disk. Each valve plate is rotatably connected to the rotating disk and has a limiting pin that can be rotatably and slidably inserted into the corresponding strip groove, so that all the valve plates can rotate relative to the rotating disk during the rotation of the rotating disk to block or release the blockage of the feed inlet.

[0011] In order to achieve automatic opening and closing of the feed inlet, the valve structure also includes a drive component for driving the rotating disk to rotate.

[0012] To drive the rotating disk to rotate, the drive assembly includes:

[0013] The first gear is coaxially connected to the rotating disk;

[0014] The second gear is rotatably connected to the fixed base and meshes with the first gear; and

[0015] The drive motor is mounted on the fixed base, and its power output shaft is coaxially connected to the second gear.

[0016] To simplify the structure, the first gear and the rotating disk are integrated as a single unit.

[0017] To facilitate the stable installation of the rotating disk and valve plate, the mounting base has an internal interlayer, in which both the rotating disk and valve plate are located.

[0018] With the valve structure closed, all the valve plates extend out of the interlayer and together block the feed inlet;

[0019] With the valve structure open, all the valve plates retract into the interlayer and release the blockage of the feed inlet.

[0020] To facilitate the mold opening and processing of the fixing seat, the fixing seat includes an upper cover and a lower cover that are connected to each other, and the upper cover and the lower cover surround and form the sandwich layer.

[0021] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the second technical problem mentioned above is: an integrated sink, characterized in that: it uses the above-mentioned garbage disposer.

[0022] To facilitate the installation of the garbage disposal unit, it also includes a tank with a drain outlet at the bottom. The garbage disposal unit is connected below the drain outlet, and the feed inlet is connected to the drain outlet.

[0023] In order to achieve automatic water intake into the inner cavity of the tank, a water intake device is also included for supplying water into the tank.

[0024] To supply water to the tank and avoid occupying too much space, the water inlet device includes:

[0025] A water-passing seat is provided on the inner wall of the tank, and a water outlet is provided at the bottom; and

[0026] The water inlet pipe is located on the outside of the tank, and its outlet end passes through the side wall of the tank and extends into the water inlet seat.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the valve structure is composed of a fixed seat, a rotating disk and multiple valve plates. Since the valve plates are rotatably connected to the rotating disk, and the limiting pins of the valve plates can rotate and slide into the strip groove of the fixed seat to form a constraint relationship, all valve plates can rotate relative to the rotating disk during the rotation of the rotating disk to block or release the blockage of the feed inlet. This valve structure occupies little space and does not affect the use of the tank. Attached Figure Description

However, the use of these terms is merely for the purpose of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating direction are for illustrative purposes only and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 14 The image shows a preferred embodiment of the integrated sink of this utility model. The integrated sink includes a sink body 1, a garbage disposal unit 2, a water inlet device 3, a pusher plate mechanism 4, and a spray device 5.

[0045] The top of the tank 1 is open. Specifically, the bottom wall inside the tank 1 has a recess 11, and a drain outlet 111 is provided on the bottom wall inside the recess 11. The bottom wall inside the recess 11 gradually rises from the periphery of the drain outlet 111 to the outer periphery of the recess 11. A pair of guide bars 12 are arranged symmetrically in the left-right direction on the front and rear side walls inside the tank 1. Each guide bar 12 includes a straight segment 121 extending from the outside to the inside in the left-right direction and an arc segment 122 connected to the tail of the straight segment 121. The arc segment 122 gradually approaches the other guide bar 12 from top to bottom. A stop block 13 is protruding from the middle of the front and rear side walls inside the tank 1 to cooperate with the push plate 41 described below. The stop block 13 is located directly below the arc segment 122.

[0046] The garbage disposal unit 2 is connected below the drain outlet 111 and includes a body 21 and a valve assembly 22. Specifically, the top of the body 21 has a feed inlet 211 that communicates with the drain outlet 111; the valve assembly 22 is used to open and close the feed inlet 211.

[0047] In this embodiment, the valve structure 22 includes a fixed base 221, a rotating disk 222, a valve plate 223, and a drive assembly 224.

[0048] Specifically, the mounting base 221 is installed on the top of the machine body 21 and includes an upper cover 221a and a lower cover 221b that are connected to each other. An interlayer 2210 is formed between the upper cover 221a and the lower cover 221b. The middle part of the upper cover 221a and the lower cover 221b is provided with a first through hole 2211 corresponding to the feed port 211. The bottom wall of the lower cover 221b is provided with a plurality of strip grooves 2212 arranged circumferentially around the outer periphery of the first through hole 2211.

[0049] The rotating disk 222 is rotatably installed in the interlayer 2210; a second through hole 2221 corresponding to the first through hole 2211 is provided in the middle of the rotating disk 222;

[0050] There are multiple valve plates 223, each corresponding to one of the strip grooves 2212, and they are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotating disk 222 in the interlayer 2210. Each valve plate 223 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating disk 222 and has a limiting pin 2231 that can be rotatably and slidably inserted into the corresponding strip groove 2212, so that all valve plates 223 can rotate relative to the rotating disk 222 during the rotation of the rotating disk 222 to block or release the blockage of the feed inlet 211.

[0051] The drive assembly 224 includes a first gear 2241, a second gear 2242, and a drive motor 2243. The first gear 2241 is installed in the interlayer 2210 and coaxially connected to the rotating disk 222. In this embodiment, the first gear 2241 and the rotating disk 222 are an integral piece. The second gear 2242 is installed in the interlayer 2210, rotatably connected to the fixed base 221, and meshes with the first gear 2241. The drive motor 2243 is installed on the outside of the fixed base 221, and its power output shaft passes through the bottom wall of the fixed base 221 and is coaxially connected to the second gear 2242. When the drive motor 2243 is started, the second gear 2242 is driven to rotate. Since the first gear 2241 and the second gear 2242 are meshed, the first gear 2241 and the rotating disk 222 rotate accordingly.

[0052] With valve structure 22 closed, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, all valve plates 223 extend out of the interlayer 2210 and together block the feed inlet 211;

[0053] With valve structure 22 open, such as Figure 12As shown, all valve plates 223 are retracted into the interlayer 2210 and the blockage of the feed inlet 211 is released.

[0054] The water inlet device 3 is used to supply water to the tank 1, and includes a water inlet seat 31 and a water inlet pipe 32. Specifically, the water inlet seat 31 is located in the middle of the front side wall inside the tank 1, and a water outlet hole 311 is opened at its bottom. In this embodiment, the water inlet seat 31 and the aforementioned front stop block 13 are integral parts; the water inlet pipe 32 is located on the outside of the tank 1, and its water outlet end passes through the front side wall of the tank 1 and extends into the water inlet seat 31.

[0055] The push plate mechanism 4 is used to push the garbage inside the tank 1 to the drain outlet 111. In this embodiment, there are two sets of push plate mechanisms 4, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the tank 1. Each push plate mechanism 4 includes a push plate 41, a first folding plate 42, a second folding plate 43 and a driving component 44.

[0056] Specifically, the front and rear ends of the top side of the push plate 41 have guide grooves 411 that cooperate with the guide strip 12. The front and rear sides and the bottom side of the push plate 41 are provided with scraper strips 412, which are flexible parts.

[0057] The first side of the first folding plate 42 is rotatably connected to the side of the trough 1 via the first rotating shaft 421;

[0058] The first side of the second folding plate 43 is hinged to the second side of the first folding plate 42, and the second side of the second folding plate 43 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the push plate 41 via the second pivot 431; in addition, the first folding plate 42 and the second folding plate 43 are both confined between the front sidewall and the rear sidewall inside the groove 1.

[0059] The driving component 44 is a motor, which is installed on the outside of the slot 1. The power output shaft of the driving component 44 is coaxially connected to the first rotating shaft 421 to drive the first rotating shaft 421 to rotate, so that the first folding plate 42 and the second folding plate 43 are folded or unfolded relative to each other, thereby driving the push plate 41 to slide along the extension direction of the guide strip 12, so that the push plate mechanism 4 has at least two states:

[0060] In the first state, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first folding plate 42 and the second folding plate 43 of the two sets of push plate mechanisms 4 are both in a folded state. The first folding plate 42, the second folding plate 43 and the push plate 41 of the two sets of push plate mechanisms 4 are respectively erected on the left and right sides inside the groove 1.

[0061] In the second state, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the first folding plate 42 and the second folding plate 43 of the two sets of push plate mechanisms 4 are both in the unfolded state, and the first folding plate 42, the second folding plate 43 and the push plate 41 of the two sets of push plate mechanisms 4 together cover the top opening of the tank 1.

[0062] In addition, the process of the pusher mechanism 4 switching from the first state to the second state is divided into two stages:

[0063] During the process of push plate 41 sliding along straight segment 121 toward another push plate mechanism 4, such as Figure 4 As shown, the push plate 41 is always arranged vertically, and the scraper 412 is always in frictional contact with the inner wall of the tank 1 to push the garbage inside the tank 1.

[0064] During the process of push plate 41 sliding along arc segment 122 toward another push plate mechanism 4, such as Figure 6 As shown, the push plate 41 contacts the stop block 13 and flips upward under the reaction force of the stop block 13.

[0065] The spray device 5 is used to spray cleaning water into the inner cavity of the tank 1. In this embodiment, there are at least two spray devices 5, which are arranged on the bottom wall of the tank 1 at intervals, one on the left and one on the right. Each spray device 5 includes a water inlet cylinder 51 and a water outlet nozzle 52.

[0066] Specifically, there are multiple water inlet cylinders 51, which are nested together and can slide relative to each other; the outermost water inlet cylinder 51 is connected to the bottom of the tank body 1; among two adjacent water inlet cylinders 51, the water outlet end of the outer water inlet cylinder 51 has an inner step 511, and the water inlet end of the inner water inlet cylinder 51 has an outer step 512, which is located below the inner step 511.

[0067] The water nozzle 52 is rotatably connected to the water outlet end of the innermost water inlet cylinder 51. The water nozzle 52 has multiple spray holes 521, which are divided into a first spray hole 521a and a second spray hole 521b, both of which are fan-shaped. The first spray hole 521a is located on the end wall of the water nozzle 52, and there is one of them. It is open towards the top of the tank 1. The second spray hole 521b is located on the peripheral wall of the water nozzle 52, and there are two of them. They are respectively facing the side wall and bottom wall inside the tank 1, so that the spray range of the spray hole 521 covers the entire tank 1. In addition, the second spray hole 521b is eccentrically arranged.

[0068] When the spray device 5 is in a non-operational state, that is, when no external force is applied to the spray device 5, such as Figure 2 As shown, in two adjacent water inlet cylinders 51, the inner water inlet cylinder 51 can retract into the outer water inlet cylinder 51 under its own gravity, and the end face of the water outlet nozzle 52 is flush with the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the tank 1.

[0069] When the spray device 5 is in operation, water flows into the outermost water inlet cylinder 51, such as... Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in two adjacent water inlet cylinders 51, the inner water inlet cylinder 51 can extend outward from the outer water inlet cylinder 51 under the action of water pressure, and the water outlet nozzle 52 can rotate relative to the water inlet cylinder 51 under the reaction force of the water flow sprayed by the nozzle 521.

[0070] In addition, the aforementioned integrated sink has a smart mode button, a self-cleaning mode button, and a waste disposal mode button.

[0071] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In the initial state, the push plate mechanism 4 is in the first state, the valve structure is in the open state and the spray device is in the non-working state. At this time, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first folding plate 42 and the second folding plate 43 of the two sets of push plate mechanisms 4 are both in a folded state. The first folding plate 42, the second folding plate 43 and the push plate 41 of the two sets of push plate mechanisms 4 are respectively erected on the left and right sides inside the tank 1. At the same time, among the two adjacent water inlet cylinders 51, the water inlet cylinder 51 located on the inner side can retract into the water inlet cylinder 51 located on the outer side under its own gravity, and the end face of the water outlet nozzle 52 is flush with the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the tank 1, which does not affect the use of the tank 1.

[0072] (1) When the Smart Mode button is clicked:

[0073] First, the push plate mechanism 4 is activated. The first folding plate 42 and the second folding plate 43 of the two sets of push plate mechanisms 4 switch from the folded state to the unfolded state. During this process, the push plate 41 slides toward the other push plate mechanism 4 along the straight line segment 121 and the arc segment 122 in sequence.

[0074] During the sliding process of push plate 41 along straight segment 121, such as Figure 4 As shown, the push plate 41 is always arranged vertically, and the scraper 412 is always in frictional contact with the inner wall of the tank 1 to push the garbage inside the tank 1 towards the center until it enters the recessed part 11.

[0075] During the sliding process of push plate 41 along arc segment 122, such as Figure 6 As shown, the push plate 41 contacts the stop block 13 and, under the reaction force of the stop block 13, flips upward from the vertical state to the horizontal state. At this time, as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the push plate mechanism 4 is in the second state, and the first folding plate 42, the second folding plate 43 and the push plate 41 of the two sets of push plate mechanisms 4 together cover the top opening of the tank 1.

[0076] Then close valve structure 22, as follows Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, all valve plates 223 extend out of the interlayer 2210 and jointly block the feed inlet 211. At the same time, the water inlet device 3 is activated, and water enters the water inlet seat 31 through the water inlet pipe 32, and then flows down along the inner wall of the tank 1 after being discharged through the water outlet 311.

[0077] When the liquid level in tank 1 reaches the set value, valve structure 22 is opened, such as... Figure 12 As shown, all valve plates 223 are retracted into the interlayer 2210 and the blockage of the feed inlet 211 is released. The garbage that gathers in the recess 11 is carried into the machine body 21 by the water flow through the drain 111.

[0078] Next, the valve structure 22 is closed and the garbage processor 2 is started to automatically process the garbage. During this process, the top opening of the tank 1 is covered, which can reduce noise.

[0079] After the waste disposal is completed, valve structure 22 is opened and spray device 5 is started. As water flows into the outermost inlet cylinder 51, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in the two adjacent water inlet cylinders 51, the inner water inlet cylinder 51 extends outward from the outer water inlet cylinder 51 under the action of water pressure, and the water outlet nozzle 52 rotates relative to the water inlet cylinder 51 under the reaction force of the water flow sprayed by the nozzle 521, so as to perform all-round self-cleaning of the entire tank 1 and the push plate 41 without dead angles. During this process, since the top opening of the tank 1 is covered, the cleaning water can be prevented from splashing out.

[0080] (2) When the self-cleaning mode button is clicked:

[0081] First, start the pusher mechanism 4 and switch to... Figure 7 and Figure 8 The second state is shown in which the waste inside the tank 1 is pushed into the recess 11 during the process;

[0082] Then, the spray device 5 is activated to perform all-round, thorough self-cleaning of the entire tank 1 and push plate 41;

[0083] (3) When the garbage disposal mode button is clicked:

[0084] The valve structure 22 is closed and the waste processor 2 is started for automatic waste processing.
