This utility model relates to a cleaning device, including a water tank and a detachable food cleaning tank installed in the water tank. A first opening is provided on the side wall of the food cleaning tank. A media conveying module is provided outside the water tank and can be detachably connected to the first opening of the food cleaning tank. The media conveying module includes an inlet pipe and a drain pipe. The first end of the inlet pipe intersects with the first end of the drain pipe and connects to the first opening. The inlet pipe is partially raised, and the drain pipe is located below the inlet pipe. The inlet and drain pipes, detachably connected to the first opening, allow the food cleaning tank to have independent water intake and drainage, making it convenient to use. During the washing process, the water level in the food cleaning tank is high and prone to fluctuation. The partially raised inlet pipe ensures that water entering the media conveying module during washing can only overflow into the drain pipe and cannot flow back up along the inlet pipe. This protects the water inlet structure located at the front end of the inlet pipe without the need for a control valve, reducing production costs.

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 independently washing fruits and vegetables, the spray nozzles of the fruit and vegetable washer actually use the same spray arm structure as the sink dishwasher. To avoid clogging this spray arm structure, the fruit and vegetable sink cannot independently fill and drain water, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cleaning device that can independently drain water and is easy to use, 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 detachable food washing tank disposed in the water tank. The food washing tank has a first opening on its side wall. A medium conveying module is disposed outside the water tank and can be detachably connected to the first opening of the food washing tank. The medium conveying module is provided with an inlet pipe and a drain pipe. The first end of the inlet pipe and the first end of the drain pipe intersect and are connected to the first opening. The inlet pipe is partially suspended, and the drain pipe is located below the inlet pipe.

[0007] This invention features a first opening for both inlet and outlet drainage on the side of the food washing tank, simplifying the overall structure and facilitating manufacturing. An inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, detachably connected to this first opening, are installed outside the tank, allowing the food washing tank to independently receive and drain water, making it convenient to use. Since the water level in the food washing tank is high and prone to fluctuation during washing, placing the inlet pipe above the outlet pipe and partially elevating it ensures that water entering the media conveying module during washing can only overflow into the outlet pipe and cannot flow back up the inlet pipe. This protects the inlet structure located at the front end of the inlet pipe without the need for a control valve, reducing production costs.

[0008] Preferably, the partial elevation of the water inlet pipe forms a first elevation structure, wherein, when the food washing tank is in use, the inner bottom wall of the first elevation structure is higher than the water level in the food washing tank. This structure further ensures that water in the food washing tank will not backflow to the front end of the water inlet pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the water inlet pipe is formed into an inverted V-shaped structure or a U-shaped structure.

[0010] Preferably, the second end of the water inlet pipe is positioned higher than its first end, and the second end of the water inlet pipe is connected to a water inlet valve. The water inlet valve allows for the metered supply of water to the food washing tank.

[0011] Preferably, the second end of the water inlet pipe is also connected to a micro-nano bubble generator located downstream of the water inlet valve, which is used to generate micro-nano bubble water. This structure provides micro-nano bubble water to the food washing tank, thereby improving the washing effect.

[0012] Preferably, the water inlet valve and the micro / nano bubble generator are located on the rear side wall of the water tank. This structure makes full use of the narrow space on the rear side wall of the water tank, improving space utilization.

[0013] Preferably, the drain pipe extends laterally close to the outer wall of the water tank and gradually slopes downwards along the water flow direction. This structure shortens the drainage path and facilitates the discharge of accumulated water, ensuring no residual water in the pipe.

[0014] Preferably, a drain pump connected to the second end of a drain pipe is provided on the rear side wall of the water tank. The outlet of the drain pump is arranged upwards and connected to a suspended drain pipe. This suspended drain pipe is located above the water level in the food washing tank. The drain pump facilitates strong drainage, ensuring no residual water in the food washing tank, and the suspended drain pipe helps maintain a stable water level in the food washing tank during washing.

[0015] Preferably, the side wall of the food washing tank has a second opening, and the medium conveying module is provided with an air inlet pipe that is detachably connected to the second opening for bubbling the food washing tank. This structure creates turbulence in the food washing tank, improving the cleaning effect.

[0016] Preferably, the rear wall of the water tank is equipped with a fan connected to the inlet of an air inlet pipe. The air inlet pipe is located above the drain pipe and is partially raised to form a second raised structure, which is positioned above the water level in the food washing tank. This structure prevents water from the food washing tank from flowing back into the air inlet pipe and damaging the fan.

[0017] In this invention, the aforementioned water inlet valve, micro-nano bubble generator, drain pump, and fan can be integrated into a mounting box, which is installed on the rear side wall of the water tank for easy assembly and full utilization of space.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model sets a first opening for both inlet and outlet drainage on the side of the food washing tank, which simplifies the overall structure and facilitates manufacturing; an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe that can be detachably connected to the first opening are set outside the tank, so that the food washing tank can independently receive and drain water, making it convenient to use; since the water level in the food washing tank is high and easily fluctuates during the washing process, setting the inlet pipe above the outlet pipe and partially raising it ensures that the water entering the medium conveying module during the washing process can only overflow into the outlet pipe and cannot flow back along the inlet pipe, thereby protecting the water inlet structure located at the front end of the inlet pipe without setting a control valve, reducing production costs.

[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1-4As shown, the cleaning device in this embodiment includes a water tank 1 and a food washing tank 2 detachably installed in the water tank 1. A wastewater outlet 13 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 1. A first opening 21 is provided on the side wall of the food washing tank 2. A medium conveying module 3 is provided outside the water tank 1 and can be detachably connected to the first opening 21 of the food washing tank 2. The medium conveying module 3 is provided with an inlet pipe 31 and a drain pipe 32. The first end of the inlet pipe 31 and the first end of the drain pipe 32 intersect and are connected to the first opening 21. The inlet pipe 31 is partially suspended, and the drain pipe 32 is located below the inlet pipe 31.

[0025] In this embodiment, a first opening 21 for both inlet and outlet drainage is provided on the side of the food washing tank 2, which simplifies the overall structure and facilitates manufacturing. An inlet pipe 31 and an outlet pipe 32 that can be detachably connected to the first opening 21 are provided outside the water tank 1, so that the food washing tank 2 can independently receive and drain water, making it convenient to use. Since the water level in the food washing tank 2 is high and easily fluctuates during the washing process, the inlet pipe 31 is placed above the outlet pipe 32 and partially raised, so that the water entering the medium conveying module 3 during the washing process can only overflow into the outlet pipe 32 and cannot flow back along the inlet pipe 31. This protects the water inlet structure located at the front end of the inlet pipe 31 without the need for a control valve, reducing production costs.

[0026] The partial elevation of the water inlet pipe 31 forms a first elevation structure 311. When the food washing tank 2 is in use, the inner bottom wall of the first elevation structure 311 is higher than the water level in the food washing tank 2. This structure can further ensure that the water in the food washing tank 2 will not backflow to the front end of the water inlet pipe 31.

[0027] The water inlet pipe 31 is shaped into an inverted V-shape or U-shape.

[0028] The second end of the water inlet pipe 31 is positioned higher than its first end, and the second end of the water inlet pipe 31 is connected to the water inlet valve 01. The water inlet valve 01 enables the metered water supply to the food washing tank 2.

[0029] The second end of the water inlet pipe 31 is also connected to a micro-nano bubble generator 02 located downstream of the water inlet valve 01, which is used to generate micro-nano bubble water. With this structure, micro-nano bubble water can be provided to the food washing tank 2 to improve the washing effect.

[0030] The water inlet valve 01 and the micro / nano bubble generator 02 are located on the rear wall of the water tank 1. This structure can make full use of the narrow space on the rear wall of the water tank 1, thus improving space utilization.

[0031] The drain pipe 32 extends laterally close to the outer wall of the water tank 1 and gradually slopes downwards along the direction of water flow. This structure shortens the drainage path and facilitates the discharge of accumulated water, ensuring no residual water in the pipe.

[0032] A drain pump 03 is installed on the rear wall of the sink 1, connected to the second end of the drain pipe 32. The outlet of the drain pump 03 is arranged upward and connected to a suspended drain pipe 031. The suspended drain pipe 031 is located above the water level in the food washing tank 2. The drain pump 03 facilitates strong drainage, ensuring that there is no residual water in the food washing tank 2. The suspended drain pipe 031 helps maintain a stable water level in the food washing tank 2 during washing.

[0033] The food washing tank 2 has a second opening 22 on its side wall. The medium conveying module 3 is equipped with an air inlet pipe 33 that is detachably connected to the second opening 22 for bubbling the food washing tank 2. This structure is used to bubble the food washing tank 2, creating turbulence and improving the cleaning effect.

[0034] A fan 04 is installed on the rear wall of the water tank 1, which is connected to the inlet of the air inlet pipe 33. The air inlet pipe 33 is located above the drain pipe 32 and is partially raised to form a second raised structure 331. This second raised structure 331 is located above the water level of the food washing tank 2. This structure is adopted to prevent water in the food washing tank 2 from flowing back through the air inlet pipe 33 and damaging the fan 04.

[0035] In this embodiment, the aforementioned water inlet valve 01, micro-nano bubble generator 02, drain pump 03, and fan 04 can be integrated into a mounting box 05. The mounting box 05 is installed on the rear side wall of the water tank 1 to facilitate assembly and make full use of space.

[0036] In this embodiment, a first opening 21 for both inlet and outlet drainage is provided on the side of the food washing tank 2, which simplifies the overall structure and facilitates manufacturing. An inlet pipe 31 and an outlet pipe 32 that can be detachably connected to the first opening 21 are provided outside the water tank 1, so that the food washing tank 2 can independently receive and drain water, making it convenient to use. Since the water level in the food washing tank 2 is high and easily fluctuates during the washing process, the inlet pipe 31 is placed above the outlet pipe 32 and partially raised, so that the water entering the medium conveying module 3 during the washing process can only overflow into the outlet pipe 32 and cannot flow back along the inlet pipe 31. This protects the water inlet structure located at the front end of the inlet pipe 31 without the need for a control valve, reducing production costs.

[0037] In this embodiment, the food washing tank 2 is detachably installed in the water tank 1. When the food washing tank 2 is needed, it is placed in the water tank 1, and water, air and water are introduced into the food washing tank 2 through the interface to achieve cleaning. When the food washing tank 2 is not needed, it can be removed from the water tank 1, so that the water tank 1 has a large volume of cleaning space to meet the user's needs.
