Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fruit and vegetable cleaning technology, and relates to a water tank, particularly a fruit and vegetable cleaning water tank. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most kitchens have two sinks. If a sink-type dishwasher is installed, one sink is used as a regular sink, and the other is used as the dishwasher's sink. Because the other sink has a spray system, it cannot be used as a regular sink. For users with smaller kitchens, only one large sink may be installed.

[0003] Whether using two or a single washing tank, washing fruits and vegetables only involves rinsing, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Existing technologies sometimes place ultrasonic or plasma purifiers in the washing tank to assist cleaning; however, these auxiliary cleaning devices require electricity to operate in a water environment, posing a certain risk of electric leakage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a fruit and vegetable washing sink that can improve the cleaning effect and eliminates the risk of electric leakage.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a fruit and vegetable washing sink, comprising: A tank body with a washing basin, and a first slot hole is provided on one side wall of the tank body; The bubble plate has a connecting part on one side that is inserted into the first slot, and an air inlet is provided on the connecting part. The bubble plate also has an air outlet that communicates with the air inlet, and there is a height difference between the bubble plate and the bottom of the washing tank. An air pump is installed on the tank, and the air outlet of the air pump is connected to the air inlet through a pipe via the first slot hole.

[0006] In the above-mentioned fruit and vegetable washing sink, the connecting part and the sink body are magnetically attracted to each other, and a first magnet is connected to the position on the sink body corresponding to the first slot hole. A fourth magnet is provided on the connecting part to magnetically attract the first magnet.

[0007] The aforementioned fruit and vegetable washing sink also includes a drain basin with a drain trough, and there is a height difference between the plane on the back of the bottom of the drain trough and the bottom of the washing sink. A second slot is provided on one side wall of the drain basin, and the bubble plate is located inside the drain basin. The connecting part is inserted and engaged with the first slot through the second slot.

[0008] In the aforementioned fruit and vegetable washing sink, an adapter is connected to the second slot on the drain basin. One side of the adapter is inserted into the connecting part, and the other side of the adapter is inserted into the first slot. The end of the adapter that is inserted into the first slot is connected to a pipe.

[0009] In the aforementioned fruit and vegetable washing sink, the adapter and the sink body are magnetically connected, and a first magnet is connected to the position on the sink body corresponding to the first slot hole. The adapter is provided with a second magnet that magnetically engages with the first magnet.

[0010] In the aforementioned fruit and vegetable washing sink, the adapter and the connecting part are magnetically attracted to each other, and the adapter is provided with a third magnet, while the connecting part is provided with a fourth magnet that magnetically attracts the third magnet.

[0011] In the aforementioned fruit and vegetable washing tank, a first one-way valve is installed inside the adapter.

[0012] In the aforementioned fruit and vegetable washing sink, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the drain outlet, and a water-sealing cap is used in conjunction with the drain outlet. The bubble plate is provided with clearance holes, and when the bubble plate is placed in the drain basin, the position of the clearance holes corresponds to the position of the water-sealing cap.

[0013] The aforementioned fruit and vegetable washing sink also includes a drain basket, which can be placed inside the drain basin, and an air bubble plate is located between the drain basket and the bottom of the drain basin, wherein there is a height difference between the bottom plane of the drain basket and the air bubble plate.

[0014] In the aforementioned fruit and vegetable washing sink, support feet are provided at each corner of the bottom of the drain basket. When the drain basket is placed in the drain basin, the support feet press against the bubble plate.

[0015] In the aforementioned fruit and vegetable washing sink, the opening of the washing sink is stepped, including an installation plane and a support plane that is recessed and has a height difference from the installation plane. The drain basin rests on the support plane and can move on the support plane.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: (1) The fruit and vegetable washing sink provided by this utility model achieves the cleaning of the surface of fruits and vegetables by the bursting impact of bubbles, thereby solving the problem of electric leakage. Furthermore, the airflow causes the fruits and vegetables to tumble in the drain basket, thereby improving the cleaning effect of fruits and vegetables. (2) Set a bearing plane. When the drain basin is placed on the bearing plane, there is a height difference between the back of the bottom of the drain basin and the bottom of the washing tank. This prevents residue from accumulating in the gap between the drain basin and the washing tank when the user uses the washing tank, thus ensuring the hygiene of the sink. (3) When the drain hole is provided on the bottom of the drain trough, the wastewater generated after the fruit and vegetable washing is discharged into the washing tank by removing the water seal cover, since there is a height difference between the back of the drain trough and the bottom of the washing tank. This makes the operation convenient. (4) By setting the first one-way valve, the gas can flow along the pipe to the bubble plate and prevent the water from flowing back along the air inlet channel; (5) The connection between the bubble plate and the drain basin can be achieved by the plug-in fit between the connecting part and the adapter. The reason for forming a detachable connection between the bubble plate and the drain basin through the adapter is, on the one hand, to avoid the bubble plate in the drain basin being in a floating state during fruit and vegetable washing, thereby improving the washing effect; on the other hand, so that the drain basin and the bubble plate can be washed separately after the fruit and vegetables are washed, thereby ensuring the subsequent washing of the fruit and vegetables. (6) By setting support feet, on the one hand, the support feet can press the bubble plate tightly during fruit and vegetable washing, preventing the bubble plate from floating under the buoyancy of water, thereby improving the washing effect of fruits and vegetables; on the other hand, there is a height difference between the drain basket and the bubble plate, preventing the bottom of the drain basket from directly touching the bubble plate and blocking the air outlet, thus ensuring the air outlet effect of the bubble plate.

[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides a fruit and vegetable washing sink, comprising: The tank 100 has a washing tank 110, and a first slot 120 is provided on one side wall of the tank 100. A drain basin 200 has a drain trough 210, and there is a height difference between the plane on the back of the bottom of the drain trough 210 and the bottom of the washing tank 110. A second slot 220 is provided on one side wall of the drain basin 200, and the second slot 220 is connected to the first slot 120. A bubble plate 300 is placed in a draining tank 210, and the bubble plate 300 is provided with an air inlet 310 and an air outlet 320 that are connected to the second slot hole 220. The opening direction of the air outlet 320 is consistent with the opening direction of the washing tank 110. A drain basket 400 for placing fruits and vegetables, and the drain basket 400 can be placed in a drain basin 200. The bubble plate 300 is located between the drain basket 400 and the bottom of the drain trough 210, and there is a height difference between the bottom plane of the drain basket 400 and the bubble plate 300. An air pump 500 is installed on the tank 100, and the air outlet of the air pump 500 is connected to the first slot hole 120 through the pipe 600. The gas generated by the air pump 500 enters the air outlet 320 of the bubble plate 300 through the pipe 600.

[0028] It is worth mentioning that when washing fruits and vegetables, first fill the drain basin 200 with water. When the water level in the drain basin 200 reaches the preset value, stop filling the basin. Then, place the fruits and vegetables to be washed in the drain basket 400, so that the fruits and vegetables in the drain basket 400 are soaked or partially soaked. Next, turn on the air pump 500 to introduce air into the pipe 600. The air then flows through the pipe 600 to the air inlet 310 of the bubble plate 300 and is sprayed from bottom to top from the air outlet 320 of the bubble plate 300. When the bubbles collide with the fruits and vegetables during their ascent, they burst, thus cleaning the fruits and vegetables. Finally, after the fruits and vegetables are cleaned, the drain basket 400 can be directly removed from the drain basin 200, and the fruits and vegetables can be drained through the drain holes on the drain basket 400.

[0029] This utility model provides a fruit and vegetable washing sink that cleans the surface of fruits and vegetables by the impact of bursting bubbles, thus solving the problem of electric leakage. Furthermore, the airflow causes the fruits and vegetables to tumble in the drain basket 400, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0030] Preferably, the opening of the washing tank 110 is stepped, including a mounting plane 130 and a support plane 140 that has a height difference with the mounting plane 130 and is recessed, wherein the drain basin 200 rests on the support plane 140 and can move on the support plane 140.

[0031] In this embodiment, a bearing plane 140 is provided. When the drain basin 200 is placed on the bearing plane 140, there is a height difference between the back of the bottom of the drain trough 210 and the bottom of the washing trough 110. This prevents residue from accumulating in the gap between the drain basin 200 and the washing trough 110 when the user uses the washing trough 110, thus ensuring the hygiene of the sink.

[0032] Furthermore, the drain trough 210 has a drain hole 230 on its bottom and a water-sealing cover 240 that is used in conjunction with the drain hole 230.

[0033] In this embodiment, when a drain hole 230 is provided on the bottom of the drain trough 210, since there is a height difference between the back of the bottom of the drain trough 210 and the bottom of the washing tank 110, the wastewater generated after the fruit and vegetable washing is completed can be directly discharged into the washing tank 110 by removing the water-sealing cover 240, without having to pour out the wastewater by flipping the drain basin 200, which is convenient to operate.

[0034] Furthermore, the bubble plate 300 is provided with a clearance hole 330, and the position of the clearance hole 330 corresponds to the position of the water sealing cover 240.

[0035] Preferably, an adapter 700 is connected to the second slot 220 of the drain basin 200, and an insertion fit is formed between the adapter 700 and the first slot 120.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the adapter 700 is connected to the first slot 120, ventilation can be achieved. When the adapter 700 is separated from the first slot 120, the wastewater in the drain basin 200 is discharged through the drain hole 230. Fruit and vegetable residues or mud may remain at the bottom of the drain trough 210. At this time, by separating the adapter 700 from the first slot 120, the drain basin 200 can be moved to the bottom of the faucet for rinsing, so as to clean the fruit and vegetable residues and mud in the drain basin 200 and ensure the cleanliness of the drain basin 200.

[0037] Furthermore, in order to ensure the smooth insertion and engagement between the adapter 700 and the groove 100, a first magnet 150 is provided on the groove 100 at the position of the first slot 120, and a second magnet 710 is provided on the adapter 700. The connection between the adapter 700 and the groove 100 is achieved through the magnetic attraction between the first magnet 150 and the second magnet 710.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that the first magnet 150 and the second magnet 710 are both arranged in a ring shape, and the first magnet is coaxial with the first slot 120. The second magnet 710 is coaxial with the adapter 700. When the adapter 700 is inserted into the first slot 120, the first magnet 150 and the second magnet 710 are coaxially arranged, and a magnetic connection between the two is achieved.

[0039] It is further noted that a first check valve 720 is provided inside the adapter 700.

[0040] In this embodiment, by setting a first one-way valve 720, gas can flow along the pipe 600 to the bubble plate 300, and water flow is blocked from flowing back along the air inlet channel.

[0041] Preferably, a connecting portion 340 is provided on one side of the bubble plate 300. The connecting portion 340 protrudes from the plane where the air outlet 320 is located on the bubble plate 300, and the air inlet 310 is provided on the connecting portion 340. The connecting portion 340 and the adapter 700 form a plug-in fit.

[0042] In this embodiment, the connection or separation between the bubble plate 300 and the drain basin 200 can be achieved through the plug-in engagement between the connecting part 340 and the adapter 700. The reason for forming a detachable connection between the bubble plate 300 and the drain basin 200 via the adapter 700 is twofold: firstly, to prevent the bubble plate 300, located in the drain basin 200, from floating during fruit and vegetable washing, thus improving the washing effect; and secondly, to allow for separate washing of the drain basin 200 and the bubble plate 300 after fruit and vegetable washing, thereby ensuring the subsequent washing of fruits and vegetables.

[0043] Furthermore, to ensure smooth insertion and engagement between the bubble plate 300 and the adapter 700, a third magnet 730 is provided on the adapter 700, and a fourth magnet 350 is provided on the connecting part 340. The third magnet 730 is coaxially arranged with the adapter 700, and the fourth magnet 350 is coaxially arranged with the air inlet 310. When the connecting part 340 and the adapter 700 are inserted and engaged, the third magnet 730 and the fourth magnet 350 are coaxially arranged and achieve magnetic connection between them.

[0044] More preferably, the number of air outlet holes 320 on the bubble plate 300 is multiple, and the multiple air outlet holes 320 are distributed in an array on the bubble plate 300.

[0045] In this embodiment, by arraying multiple air vents 320 on the bubble plate 300, cleaning dead zones are avoided, thus improving the cleaning effect of fruits and vegetables.

[0046] Preferably, each corner of the bottom of the drain basket 400 is provided with a support leg 410, and the support leg 410 is integrally formed with the drain basket 400.

[0047] In this embodiment, by providing support feet 410, on the one hand, during fruit and vegetable washing, the support feet 410 can press the bubble plate 300 tightly, preventing the bubble plate 300 from floating under the buoyancy of water, thereby improving the washing effect of fruits and vegetables; on the other hand, it ensures that there is a height difference between the drain basket 400 and the bubble plate 300, preventing the bottom of the drain basket 400 from directly contacting the bubble plate 300 and blocking the air vent 320, thus ensuring the air venting effect of the bubble plate 300.

[0048] Preferably, a second check valve is provided inside the pipeline 600. The function of the second check valve is the same as that of the first check valve 720, and therefore will not be described in detail here.
