Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen sink technology, specifically a cleaning device that can be used as a sink and can automatically clean fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and other food ingredients. Background Technology

[0002] For Chinese kitchens, due to the abundance of ingredients, the need for washing fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat is very high. Currently, people mostly use sinks to wash fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat, which is time-consuming and laborious. To solve this problem, the applicant's prior patent ZL201610632336.9, "Integrated Sink Washing Device," discloses a structure that integrates a separate fruit and vegetable washing machine next to the sink. While this provides convenience for users to wash fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat, the drainage components and the drive structure of the fruit and vegetable washing machine are all located at the bottom of the sink, which severely limits the height and volume of the washing machine and the sink, affecting the independent usable space of the sink.

[0003] Paper ZL201821326601.1, "A Sink-Type Washing Machine with Fruit and Vegetable Washer," discloses a structure that integrates a sink and a sink dishwasher, with a detachable and movable fruit and vegetable washer installed within the sink. While this structure provides convenience for independent washing of fruits and vegetables, the spray nozzles of the fruit and vegetable washer actually use the same spray arm structure as the sink dishwasher, and the water supply to the spray nozzles requires the original sink dishwasher's water supply system. If the water supply systems of the fruit and vegetable washer and the original sink dishwasher are not properly connected, and the user accidentally turns on the water supply system, water will leak into the sink, affecting its use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cleaning device that can accurately feed back to the control system when the food washing tank is connected in place, thereby preventing the cleaning program from being started by mistake, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A cleaning device includes a water tank and a food washing tank detachably disposed in the water tank. The food washing tank has a medium interface on its side wall. The device also includes a medium conveying module disposed on the outer wall of the water tank and detachably connected to the medium interface. The water tank is provided with a first sensor and the food washing tank is provided with a second sensor. When the food washing tank moves to a state where its medium interface can dock with the medium conveying module, the first sensor and the second sensor are in contact.

[0007] This invention detachably mounts the food washing tank within the water tank. When the food washing tank needs to be used as an automatic washing tank, the position of the food washing tank is moved until its medium interface is aligned with the connection port of the medium delivery module outside the water tank. At this time, the second sensor on the food washing tank senses the first sensor on the water tank and feeds the signal back to the control system. Only then can the control system start the washing program of the food washing tank to avoid the problem of the washing program being accidentally started.

[0008] Existing methods of combining food washing tanks with sinks or sink dishwashers result in the food washing tank occupying space within the sink. This invention provides a food washing tank that can be combined with or separated from the sink. When combined with the sink, it functions as an electric washing tank; when separated, it reverts to a large, independent sink, thus meeting different user cleaning needs. Specifically, when the food washing tank is needed, it is placed in the sink, and a media delivery module enables water and air intake for cleaning. When not in use, the food washing tank can be removed from the sink, providing ample cleaning space to meet user requirements.

[0009] Preferably, the food washing tank includes a tank body and a door, and the second sensor is disposed on the tank body or the door. The second sensor can be disposed on the tank body or the door as needed to meet more requirements.

[0010] Preferably, the first sensor is disposed on the outer wall of the sink, and the second sensor is disposed on the outer wall of the sink body. When the food washing tank is moved to a state where its medium interface can dock with the medium delivery module, the first and second sensors correspond to each other across the inner and outer sides of the sink side wall. This invention preferably disposes the second sensor on the sink body because if it were disposed on the door, it would be easily triggered by the user. By disposing it on the sink body, the side wall of the sink is hidden inside the sink, thus avoiding the problem of accidental triggering.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the water tank is provided with a support rail extending along its length. Correspondingly, the food washing tank is provided with a support edge that can be placed on the support rail and determines whether the media interface is connected to the media delivery module. Placing the food washing tank in the water tank by means of the support edge and the support rail not only facilitates the vertical and horizontal positioning of the food washing tank, making it easy to move and place, but also improves the reliability of the media interface when connected to the media delivery module, preventing media leakage.

[0012] Preferably, the second sensor on the outer wall of the tank is arranged near the upper edge of the support rail, and correspondingly, the first sensor on the outer wall of the tank is arranged near the upper edge of the support rail. Arranging the sensors close to the support positions of the food washing tank and the water tank improves installation stability and thus enhances sensing accuracy.

[0013] Preferably, the first sensing element is a reed switch, and the second sensing element is a magnet that matches the reed switch. This structure is stable and reliable.

[0014] For ease of installation, a slot is provided on the rear side wall of the groove, and the magnet is embedded in the slot.

[0015] Preferably, the rear sidewall of the water tank is provided with a mounting box for installing electrical components and circuit boards of the media conveying module. The first sensing element is constrained on the inner wall of the mounting box near the water tank, and the first sensing element is electrically connected to the electrical components and circuit boards. The mounting box can integrate the electrical components and circuit boards into the rear sidewall of the water tank, which not only protects the electrical components and circuit boards, but also makes full use of the narrow space of the rear sidewall of the water tank, improving space utilization.

[0016] Preferably, the media interface is located on the left / right side wall of the food washing tank, and correspondingly, an interface is provided on the side wall of the tank for connecting the media interface to a media delivery module outside the tank. This structure facilitates the connection and communication of media.

[0017] In this invention, the media delivery module includes a water inlet pipe for supplying water to the food washing tank, a drain pipe for draining water from the food washing tank, and an air inlet pipe for supplying air to the food washing tank. The water inlet pipe, drain pipe, and air inlet pipe are all located on the left / right side walls of the tank, and each pipe connects to an electrical component located on the rear side wall of the tank at a corner. The electrical component includes a water inlet valve connected to the water inlet pipe, a drain pump connected to the drain pipe, and a fan connected to the air inlet pipe. This structure fully utilizes the narrow space of the left, right, and rear side walls of the tank, unlike existing sink dishwashers that occupy space at the bottom of the tank, leaving space underneath for installing other items and improving space utilization.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model detachably installs the food washing tank in the water tank. When the food washing tank needs to be used as an automatic washing tank, the position of the food washing tank is moved until its medium interface is aligned with the connection port of the medium conveying module outside the water tank. At this time, the second sensor on the food washing tank senses the first sensor on the water tank and feeds the signal back to the control system. Only then can the control system start the washing program of the food washing tank to avoid the problem of the washing program being accidentally started. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the cleaning device of this embodiment includes a water tank 1 and a food washing tank 2 detachably disposed in the water tank 1. A wastewater outlet 13 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 1. A medium interface 21 is provided on the side wall of the food washing tank 2. It also includes a medium conveying module 3 disposed on the outer wall of the water tank 1 and detachably connected to the medium interface 21. The water tank 1 is provided with a first sensor 01 and the food washing tank 2 is provided with a second sensor 02. When the food washing tank 2 moves to a state where its medium interface 21 can dock with the medium conveying module 3, the first sensor 01 and the second sensor 02 sense each other.

[0027] In this embodiment, the food washing tank 2 is detachably installed in the water tank 1. When the food washing tank 2 needs to be used as an automatic washing tank, the position of the food washing tank 2 is moved until its medium interface 21 is aligned with the connection port of the external medium conveying module 3 of the water tank 1. At this time, the second sensor 02 on the food washing tank 2 senses the first sensor 01 on the water tank 1 and feeds the signal back to the control system. Only then can the control system start the washing program of the food washing tank 2 to avoid the problem of the washing program being accidentally started.

[0028] Existing methods of combining food washing tanks with sinks or sink dishwashers result in the food washing tank occupying space within the sink. This embodiment provides a food washing tank 2 that can be combined with or separated from the sink 1. When combined with the sink 1, it becomes an electric washing tank; when separated, it reverts to an independent large sink 1, meeting different user cleaning needs. Specifically, when the food washing tank 2 is needed, it is placed in the sink 1, and water and air are introduced into the food washing tank 2 via the media delivery module 3 for cleaning. When the food washing tank 2 is not needed, it can be removed from the sink 1, giving the sink 1 a large cleaning space to meet user needs.

[0029] The food washing tank 2 includes a tank body 22 and a door body 23, and a second sensor 02 is disposed on the tank body 22 or the door body 23. The second sensor 02 can be disposed on the tank body 22 or the door body 23 as needed to meet more requirements.

[0030] The first sensor 01 is disposed on the outer wall of the sink 1, and the second sensor 02 is preferably disposed on the outer wall of the tank body 22. When the food washing tank 2 is moved to a state where its medium interface 21 can dock with the medium delivery module 3, the first sensor 01 and the second sensor 02 correspond to each other inside and outside the side wall of the sink 1. In this embodiment, the second sensor 02 is preferably disposed on the tank body 22 because if it is disposed on the door 23, it is easy to be accidentally triggered by the user. By disposing of it on the tank body 22, the side wall of the tank body 22 is hidden inside the sink 1, which can avoid the problem of accidental triggering.

[0031] The inner wall of the water tank 1 is provided with a support rail 11 extending along its length. Correspondingly, the food washing tank 2 is provided with a support edge 24 that can be placed on the support rail 11 and determines whether the medium interface 21 is connected to the medium delivery module 3. Placing the food washing tank 2 in the water tank 1 by means of the support edge 24 and the support rail 11 not only facilitates the vertical and horizontal positioning of the food washing tank 2, making it easy to move and place, but also improves the reliability of the medium interface 21 when connected to the medium delivery module 3 by the limiting of the support edge 24 and the support rail 11, thus preventing medium leakage.

[0032] The second sensor 02 on the outer wall of the tank 22 is arranged near the upper edge of the support 24, and correspondingly, the first sensor 01 on the outer wall of the water tank 1 is arranged near the upper edge of the support rail 11. Arranging the sensors close to the support positions of the food washing tank 2 and the water tank 1 helps to improve installation stability and thus improve sensing accuracy.

[0033] The first sensing element 01 is a reed switch, and the second sensing element 02 is a magnet that matches the reed switch. This structure is stable and reliable.

[0034] For ease of installation, a slot 221 is provided on the rear side wall of the slot 22, and the magnet is embedded in the slot 221.

[0035] The rear wall of the water tank 1 is provided with a mounting box 4 for installing the electrical components and circuit board 30 of the media conveying module 3. A first sensing element 01 is constrained on the inner wall of the mounting box 4 near the water tank 1, and the first sensing element 01 is electrically connected to the electrical components and circuit board 30. The mounting box 4 can integrate the electrical components and circuit board 30 into the rear wall of the water tank 1, which not only protects the electrical components and circuit board 30, but also makes full use of the narrow space of the rear wall of the water tank 1, thus improving space utilization.

[0036] The medium interface 21 is located on the right side wall of the food washing tank 2. Correspondingly, an interface 12 is provided on the side wall of the tank 1 for the medium interface 21 to connect with the medium conveying module 3 outside the tank 1. This structure facilitates the connection and communication of the medium.

[0037] In this embodiment, the medium delivery module 3 includes a water inlet pipe 301 for supplying water to the food washing tank 2, a drain pipe 302 for draining water from the food washing tank 2, and an air inlet pipe 303 for supplying air to the food washing tank 2. The water inlet pipe 301, drain pipe 302, and air inlet pipe 303 are all located on the right side wall of the tank 1, and each pipe is connected to an electrical component located on the rear side wall of the tank 1 at a corner. The electrical component includes a water inlet valve 100 connected to the water inlet pipe 301, a drain pump 200 connected to the drain pipe 302, and a fan 300 connected to the air inlet pipe 303. This structure fully utilizes the narrow space of the right and rear side walls of the tank 1, unlike existing dishwashers that occupy space at the bottom of the tank 1, leaving space below the tank 1 for installing other items and improving space utilization.

[0038] In this embodiment, the food washing tank 2 is detachably installed in the water tank 1. When the food washing tank 2 needs to be used as an automatic washing tank, the position of the food washing tank 2 is moved until its medium interface 21 is aligned with the connection port of the external medium conveying module 3 of the water tank 1. At this time, the second sensor 02 on the food washing tank 2 senses the first sensor 01 on the water tank 1 and feeds the signal back to the control system. Only then can the control system start the washing program of the food washing tank 2 to avoid the problem of the washing program being accidentally started.
