[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a kitchen sink with wastewater reuse, including a sink body 1, a filter 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the sink body 1, a filter screen (not shown) placed inside the filter 2, a switching pipe 3 fixedly installed at the bottom of the filter 2, a connecting rod 4 movably connected to the rear end of the sink body 1, a plug 5 slidably connected to the inner cavity of the switching pipe 3, an inclined pipe 6 fixedly installed at the rear end of the filter 2, a water tank 7 provided below the sink body 1, a wastewater outlet pipe 8 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the water tank 7, and a water pump 9 fixedly installed in the middle of the wastewater outlet pipe 8.

[0021] By pulling the connecting rod 4 upward, the plug 5 moves upward inside the switching pipe 3, thereby blocking the filter 2 at the top of the plug 5. At this time, the wastewater flowing down through the filter 2 cannot enter the switching pipe 3 for discharge, but instead enters the water storage tank 7 through the inclined pipe 6 for storage. When needed, the water pump 9 is started to pump the wastewater in the water storage tank 7 into the wastewater outlet pipe 8, which can be used directly, reducing the waste of water resources.

[0022] The right side of the plug 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 4. The bottom end of the plug 5 is provided with multiple water-permeable grooves. The outer diameter of the top of the plug 5 is equal to the inner diameter of the filter 2.

[0023] By fixing the plug 5 to the connecting rod 4, the plug 5 can be moved upward when the connecting rod 4 is pulled. The top part of the plug 5 blocks the filter 2, so that the water entering the filter 2 cannot enter the switching pipe 3.

[0024] The water tank 7 is fixedly equipped with an overflow pipe 10, which is U-shaped.

[0025] The bottom end of the switching pipe 3 and the bottom end of the overflow pipe 10 are directly connected to the drain pipe in the room. By setting the overflow pipe 10, since the water tank 7 is usually located inside the cabinet, the water level in the water tank 7 cannot be directly observed. When the water tank 7 is full, the excess water can be discharged directly through the overflow pipe 10.

[0026] The top of the switching tube 3 is fixedly installed with a connecting tube 11, the inner diameter of which is equal to the diameter of the bottom of the connecting rod 4, and a guide ring 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the switching tube 3.

[0027] After the connecting rod 4 moves upward, the bottom end of the connecting rod 4 is inserted into the connecting pipe 11. By setting the guide ring 12, the water will be guided by the guide ring 12 after entering the switching pipe 3 and will be discharged into the bottom end of the switching pipe 3, thus avoiding water residue in the switching pipe 3.

[0028] The end cap 5 is fixedly installed with a cleaning tube 13, the inner cavity of the cleaning tube 13 is slidably connected with a piston rod 14, the right end of the cleaning tube 13 is fixedly installed with a fixing block 15, the right end of the piston rod 14 is fixedly installed with a pull rod 17, and a locking buckle 16 is fastened between the fixing block 15 and the pull rod 17.

[0029] By removing the latch 16 from the pull rod 17 and the fixing block 15, and repeatedly pulling the piston rod 14, the blockage area can be suctioned, the gap of the blockage in the blockage area can be changed, and finally the filter 2 can be opened to achieve the effect of cleaning the blockage.

[0030] The cleaning tube 13 and the switching tube 3 are connected, and the front end of the piston rod 14 extends to the outside of the cleaning tube 13.

[0031] During the unclogging process, users do not need to come into direct contact with the water inside filter 2 to reduce user discomfort.

[0032] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0033] When in use, the back of the sink body 1 is connected to the faucet. Tap water enters the filter 2 through the faucet and can be used for washing vegetables and dishes. When the wastewater from washing vegetables and rinsing rice can be used, the connecting rod 4 is pulled up. At this time, the connecting rod 4 drives the plug 5 to move up. When the plug 5 moves up, it blocks the bottom of the filter 2. At this time, the wastewater cannot enter the switching pipe 3 and enters the water storage tank 7 through the inclined pipe 6 for storage. When the water storage tank 7 is full, the wastewater overflows through the overflow pipe 10 and is discharged into the sewer pipe.

[0034] When using wastewater, the water pump 9 can be turned on to pump the wastewater in the water tank 7 into the wastewater outlet pipe 8 and back into the filter 2 for use.

[0035] When using heavy oily wastewater, press down the connecting rod 4 so that the plug 5 enters the switching pipe 3 and no longer clogs the filter 2. Since the connection between the inclined pipe 6 and the switching pipe 3 is inclined upward, the wastewater will not enter the inclined pipe 6. At this time, the wastewater enters the switching pipe 3 and is directly discharged into the sewer pipe.

[0036] After prolonged use, the presence of heavy oil stains may cause blockage at the bottom of the switching pipe 3. In this case, pull the connecting rod 4 up to block the bottom of the filter 2, then remove the latch 16, and pull the piston rod 14 forward using the pull rod 17 to create a negative pressure between the bottom of the switching pipe 3 and the drain pipe, thereby changing the presence of the blockage. Then pull the connecting rod 4 down to open the filter 2 and flush the switching pipe 3 and the drain pipe to try to remove the blockage. If the blockage cannot be cleared, pull the piston rod 14 repeatedly to achieve the effect of clearing the blockage.
