Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of integrated cleaning technology, specifically to an integrated cleaning device. 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] In addition, after the food is washed and processed, especially after fish and meat are processed, the existing independent fruit and vegetable washing tank is prone to leaving odors. This not only seriously affects the user experience, but also makes it easy for bacteria to grow, causing secondary pollution to the food that is processed later. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated cleaning device that can disinfect food washing tanks to avoid bacterial growth and secondary pollution, 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] An integrated cleaning device includes a dishwasher, a sink, and a food washing tank detachably disposed in the sink. The outer wall of the sink is provided with an air supply structure for supplying air to the food washing tank and can be connected to or disconnected from the food washing tank. The bottom of the food washing tank is provided with an aeration structure connected to the air supply structure. The dishwasher is provided with a drying component for drying its inner cavity, and the drying component is connected to the air supply structure through an air supply pipe.

[0007] With the above structure, when food needs to be processed, the food washing tank is moved in the water tank to a state connected with the air supply structure. The food is placed in the food washing tank and washed by bubbling through the air supply structure. After washing, the drying component can be used to provide heated gas to the aeration structure of the food washing tank, thereby performing high-temperature sterilization on the internal channels and the entire inner cavity of the food washing tank to avoid bacterial growth and secondary pollution.

[0008] Preferably, the drying assembly includes a heating assembly located on the first side of the dishwasher and a breather located on the second side of the dishwasher. The heating assembly is used to input dry hot air into the dishwasher, and the breather is used to output hot steam from the dishwasher. One inlet of the heating assembly and one outlet of the breather are respectively connected to the air supply structure. With the above structure, the heating assembly can selectively provide dry hot steam to sterilize the food washing tank, or the high-temperature steam discharged from the breather can be used to perform high-temperature wet treatment on the food washing tank to meet different processing needs.

[0009] Preferably, the heating assembly includes a first fan, a heating element, a first air duct, and a first three-way valve. The first port of the first three-way valve is an air inlet connecting the fan and the heating element, the second port is connected to the inner cavity of the dishwasher through the first air duct, and the third port is connected to the air supply structure through the first air duct. This structure facilitates the use of the heating assembly to provide dry, hot air to the food washing tank for disinfection or drying.

[0010] Preferably, the inlet of the respirator is connected to the air outlet on the side wall of the dishwasher, and the outlet of the respirator is connected to a second three-way valve. The first port of the second three-way valve is connected to the outlet of the respirator, the second port forms a free air outlet, and the third port is connected to the air supply structure through a second air guide tube. This structure facilitates the supply of high-temperature humid steam to the food washing tank using the respirator for disinfection or self-cleaning.

[0011] Preferably, the air supply structure is equipped with a switching valve that can switch between ambient temperature air, heated air, and hot steam for the aeration structure. This switching valve can be a four-way valve. With this structure, ambient temperature air can be blown into the food washing tank during normal bubbling cleaning. When high-temperature sterilization is required, dry hot air or a mixture of dry hot air and high-temperature steam can be blown in. When drying the food washing tank is required, dry hot air can be blown in, allowing selection of the appropriate medium as needed.

[0012] Preferably, the sidewall of the food washing tank has an air inlet and a water outlet arranged side by side near the bottom. The outer sidewall of the tank is equipped with a supply system integrating an air supply structure. This supply system has an air inlet pipe connected to the air inlet, a water inlet pipe connected to the water outlet, and a drain pipe. The water inlet and drain share a single water outlet, which simplifies the structure and facilitates production. Separating the openings for air circulation and water flow allows for independent water and air supply to the food washing tank.

[0013] Preferably, the air inlet pipe has an inverted bowl-shaped, V-shaped, U-shaped, or L-shaped structure, the water inlet pipe is located below the air inlet pipe and also has an inverted bowl-shaped, V-shaped, U-shaped, or L-shaped structure, and the drain pipe is located below the water inlet pipe and extends laterally downwards along the water flow direction. The input end of the air inlet pipe, the input end of the water inlet pipe, and the discharge end of the drain pipe are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The output end of the air inlet pipe is connected to the air inlet, and the output end of the water inlet pipe intersects with the input end of the drain pipe and is connected to the water outlet. During food washing, due to the turbulent water flow in the tank, a small amount of backflow may occur. The above structure is adopted to prevent backflowing water from entering the air inlet pipe and affecting its front air intake structure, or entering the water inlet pipe and affecting its front water intake structure.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model sets up a food washing tank in a large-volume water tank, which can automatically wash food. The food washing tank can be slidably installed in the water tank. When food needs to be processed, the food washing tank is moved in the water tank to be connected to the air supply structure. The food is placed in the food washing tank, and it is washed by bubbling through the air supply structure. After washing, heated gas can be provided to the aeration structure of the food washing tank through the drying component, thereby performing high-temperature sterilization on the internal channels and the entire inner cavity of the food washing tank to avoid bacterial growth and secondary pollution. When only large-volume items need to be washed in the water tank, the food washing tank can be removed from the water tank, so that the water tank has a large washing space to meet the user's needs.
