Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of kitchen cleaning devices, and in particular to a cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of cleaning technology, cleaning equipment integrating fruit and vegetable cleaning modules into water tanks has gradually emerged to achieve automated cleaning of fruits and vegetables. Currently, existing cleaning equipment typically employs two independent power systems to balance water circulation during the cleaning process and smooth wastewater discharge after cleaning. Specifically, a circulation pump drives the water to circulate within the cleaning chamber, while a wastewater pump independently handles the wastewater discharge after cleaning. However, this dual power system setup not only results in a larger overall size and more complex piping layout, increasing manufacturing costs and the risk of leaks, but also makes switching between functions cumbersome, affecting ease of use and failing to fully meet user needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a cleaning device that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A cleaning apparatus, the cleaning apparatus comprising:

[0006] sink;

[0007] A flow channel assembly is installed on the outside of the water tank, and the flow channel assembly is provided with a circulation port and a drain port;

[0008] A cleaning module is detachably installed inside the water tank. The cleaning module encloses a cleaning chamber and is provided with a drain pipe and a circulating water outlet respectively connected to the cleaning chamber. The drain pipe is used to connect to the drain outlet, and the circulating water outlet is used to connect to the circulating water outlet.

[0009] A water circulation module is installed outside the water tank. The water circulation module includes a circulation pump, a multi-way valve, and a drain pipe. The circulation pump is connected to the drain outlet and the inlet of the multi-way valve, respectively. The first outlet of the multi-way valve is connected to the circulation port, and the second outlet of the multi-way valve is connected to the drain pipe.

[0010] The multi-way valve can switch between controlling the inlet and either the first outlet or the second outlet when it is in operation.

[0011] Understandably, by switching the connection between the inlet and the first or second outlet using a multi-way valve during operation, the cleaning device requires only one water circulation module, mainly composed of a circulation pump and a multi-way valve, to simultaneously drive the circulation of water within the cleaning chamber and control the discharge of wastewater after cleaning. This simplifies the overall structure and piping layout of the cleaning device, reducing manufacturing costs and potential leakage points. Furthermore, the automatic switching of the multi-way valve allows for rapid and automated transitions between circulation cleaning and drainage / drainage modes, requiring no human intervention and thus enhancing the ease of operation of the cleaning device.

[0012] In one embodiment, the circulating pump is integrated with the multi-way valve.

[0013] Understandably, by integrating the circulating pump and the multi-way valve into one unit, they can be manufactured as an independent modular component, thereby avoiding the need for separate pipeline connection operations for the circulating pump and the multi-way valve during on-site assembly. This simplifies on-site installation procedures and improves assembly efficiency.

[0014] In one embodiment, the cleaning module includes an inner tank and a bottom cover, the inner tank enclosing the cleaning chamber, and the circulating water outlet is disposed on the inner wall of the inner tank, and the drain pipe is disposed on the bottom cover;

[0015] The bottom cover is installed at the bottom of the inner liner, and the bottom cover and the inner liner enclose a water flow channel, which is set independently relative to the drain pipe; the water in the cleaning chamber flows through the drain outlet, the water flow channel, the circulation outlet and the circulation outlet in sequence before being returned to the cleaning chamber.

[0016] Understandably, the design of the inner tank and bottom cover allows the cleaning module to form a water flow channel for water circulation using its own structure. This ensures, on the one hand, that the water flow channel and drainage pipe remain independent during operation, simplifying the overall structure of the cleaning module and reducing manufacturing costs and assembly complexity. On the other hand, since the water flow channels are located between the inner tank and the bottom cover, they do not encroach on the internal space of the cleaning chamber, thus expanding the usable volume of the cleaning chamber and increasing the cleaning capacity that the cleaning module can handle in a single cycle.

[0017] In one embodiment, the number of circulating water outlets is set to at least two, with the two circulating water outlets respectively located at diagonal positions of the inner liner.

[0018] Understandably, by placing the two circulating water outlets diagonally across the inner liner, the water in the water flow channel enters the cleaning chamber in a diagonal manner, creating a circulating flow within the chamber. This simplifies the water flow channel's path arrangement, thus simplifying the overall structure of the cleaning module. Furthermore, the diagonal water outlets ensure a more even distribution of water within the cleaning chamber, providing a more thorough flow path and enhancing the rinsing effect on fruits and vegetables, thereby improving the thoroughness and uniformity of the cleaning process.

[0019] In one embodiment, the cleaning module further includes a slag basket, which is detachably installed inside the inner liner;

[0020] The water inlet of the slag basket is located below the cleaning chamber along the depth direction of the cleaning chamber, and the water in the cleaning chamber can flow through the slag basket and the bottom cover to the drain outlet.

[0021] Understandably, the above-mentioned slag basket structure not only collects the residue generated during the washing process, but also prevents the accumulation of residue from clogging the water flow channel, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of water.

[0022] In one embodiment, the cleaning module further includes a drain plate, which is placed inside the inner tank and is pressed and limited by the slag basket;

[0023] The slag basket is inserted into the inner liner and is engaged with the inner liner.

[0024] Understandably, the above structural design allows the slag basket to be used to press and limit the drain plate, preventing it from shifting during use, thus simplifying the assembly and fixing of the drain plate inside the inner liner.

[0025] In one embodiment, the cleaning module further includes a drain plate, which is placed inside the inner liner and connected and fixed to the slag basket.

[0026] Understandably, the aforementioned structural design eliminates the gaps between the drain board and the waste basket, physically preventing food residue and wastewater from accumulating and causing odors. This not only facilitates daily maintenance of the drain board and waste basket but also fundamentally improves the hygienic performance of the cleaning device.

[0027] In one embodiment, the cleaning module further includes a drain plate installed inside the inner tank;

[0028] The circulating water outlet is located above the drain plate along the depth direction of the cleaning chamber.

[0029] Understandably, through the above structural design, the cleaning module can control the water level in the cleaning chamber to create a differentiated rinsing effect on fruits and vegetables by controlling the water flow from the circulating outlet, thereby meeting the cleaning needs of different types of fruits and vegetables and ensuring the cleaning effect and adaptability of the cleaning module when cleaning fruits and vegetables.

[0030] In one embodiment, the flow channel assembly is further provided with an air inlet;

[0031] The inner liner and the bottom cover are enclosed to form an airflow channel, which is set independently relative to the water flow channel; and the gas introduced by the air inlet can be discharged to the cleaning chamber through the airflow channel.

[0032] Understandably, through the above structural design, when the cleaning module is working, bubbles move upward from the bottom of the tank to tumble and clean the fruits and vegetables, while water flows into the cleaning chamber from the inner wall to form a circulating flow. The two are spatially vertically distributed within the cleaning chamber, so that the impact force of the bubbles and the scouring force of the water flow act on the surface of the fruits and vegetables from different directions, which helps to further improve the thoroughness, uniformity, and efficiency of the cleaning.

[0033] In one embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a fan, the air outlet of which is connected to the air inlet on the flow channel assembly;

[0034] The water circulation module and the fan are both installed on the bottom of the water tank, and the flow channel assembly is installed on the wall of the water tank.

[0035] Understandably, by integrating the fan and water circulation module at the bottom of the water tank and placing the flow channel components on the inner wall of the water tank, the cleaning device can make full use of the installation space at the bottom of the water tank, achieving a compact layout of the overall structure. This allows the cleaning device to be integrated and modified based on the existing installation space of the water tank without occupying additional external space, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of modification and facilitating its widespread application.

[0036] Due to the application of the above solution, this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0037] The cleaning device claimed in this application uses a multi-way valve to switch between its inlet and either the first or second outlet during operation. This allows the cleaning device to achieve both the circulation of water within the cleaning chamber and the control of wastewater discharge after cleaning, requiring only one water circulation module mainly composed of a circulation pump and the multi-way valve. This simplifies the overall structure and piping layout of the cleaning device, reducing manufacturing costs and potential leakage points. Furthermore, the automatic switching of the multi-way valve enables rapid and automated transitions between circulation cleaning and drainage / drainage modes without human intervention, thus improving the ease of operation of the cleaning device.

[0056] Please see Figures 1 to 11 The cleaning device 100 provided in one embodiment of this application includes a water tank 10, a flow channel assembly 20, a cleaning module 30, and a water circulation module 40. The flow channel assembly 20 is installed outside the water tank 10 and has a circulation port 21 and a drain port 22. The cleaning module 30 is detachably installed inside the water tank 10 and forms a cleaning chamber 101. The cleaning module 30 has a drain pipe 301 and a circulation outlet 302 respectively communicating with the cleaning chamber 101. The drain pipe 301 is used to connect with the drain port 21. 2. A circulating outlet 302 is used to connect with a circulating port 21. A water circulation module 40 is installed outside the water tank 10. The water circulation module 40 includes a circulation pump 41, a multi-way valve 42, and a drain pipe 43. The circulation pump 41 is connected to the drain port 22 and the inlet 421 of the multi-way valve 42. The first outlet 422 of the multi-way valve 42 is connected to the circulating port 21, and the second outlet 423 of the multi-way valve 42 is connected to the drain pipe 43. When the multi-way valve 42 is working, it can switch the connection between the inlet 421 and the first outlet 422 or the second outlet 423.

[0057] Specifically, when the inlet 421 of the multi-way valve 42 is switched to connect with the first outlet 422, the circulation pump 41 draws water from the cleaning chamber 101 through the drain port 22. After flowing through the multi-way valve 42, the water is returned to the cleaning chamber 101 through the circulation port 21, thereby forming a circulating water flow inside the cleaning chamber 101 to achieve the circulating cleaning operation of the water. When the inlet 421 of the multi-way valve 42 is switched to connect with the second outlet 423, the circulation pump 41 also draws water from the cleaning chamber 101 through the drain port 22. After flowing through the multi-way valve 42, the water is guided to the drain pipe 43 for discharge, thereby realizing the drainage function of the cleaning chamber 101.

[0058] As can be seen from the above, the cleaning device 100 of this application switches the connection between its inlet 421 and the first outlet 422 or the second outlet 423 during operation via a multi-way valve 42. This allows the cleaning device 100 to simultaneously achieve the circulation of water within the cleaning chamber 101 and the discharge control of wastewater after cleaning, using only a water circulation module 40 mainly composed of a circulation pump 41 and a multi-way valve 42. This simplifies the overall structure and piping layout of the cleaning device 100, reducing manufacturing costs and potential leakage points. Furthermore, the automatic switching of the multi-way valve 42 enables automated and rapid switching between circulation cleaning and drainage / drainage modes, requiring no human intervention throughout the process, thus improving the ease of operation of the cleaning device 100.

[0059] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the flow channel assembly 20 is disposed on the wall of the water tank 10 along its length direction X, and the wall is provided with a through hole (not shown) so that the circulation port 21 and the drain port 22 on the flow channel assembly 20 can be connected and communicated with the cleaning module 30 through the through hole.

[0060] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 7In one embodiment, the cleaning module 30 includes an inner tank 31 and a bottom cover 32. The inner tank 31 encloses a cleaning chamber 101, and a circulating water outlet 302 is disposed on the inner wall of the inner tank 31. The bottom cover 32 is installed on the bottom of the inner tank 31, and the bottom cover 32 and the inner tank 31 enclose a water flow channel 303. A drain pipe 301 is disposed on the bottom cover 32 and is independently disposed relative to the drain pipe 301, and is connected to the circulating water outlet 302 and the first outlet 422 respectively, so that the cleaning module 30 can form a water flow channel for water circulation using its own structure. In this way, on the one hand, the water flow channel 303 and the drainage pipe 301 can be kept independent during the operation of the cleaning module 30, and the overall structure of the cleaning module 30 is simplified, which helps to reduce its manufacturing cost and assembly complexity; on the other hand, since the water flow channel 303 is located between the inner tank 31 and the bottom cover 32, it will not encroach on the internal space of the cleaning chamber 101, which helps to expand the usable volume of the cleaning chamber 101 and increase the cleaning capacity that the cleaning module 30 can carry in a single cleaning.

[0061] Please see Figure 3 , Figures 7 to 9 In one embodiment, the flow channel assembly 20 is further provided with an air inlet 23; wherein, an airflow channel 304 is formed between the inner liner 31 and the bottom cover 32, and the airflow channel 304 is independently set relative to the water flow channel 303. The gas introduced by the air inlet 23 can be discharged into the cleaning chamber 101 through the airflow channel 304. Furthermore, the bottom of the inner liner 31 is provided with aeration holes 311, which are connected to the airflow channel 304 and the cleaning chamber 101 respectively. When the cleaning module 30 is working, the bubbles move upward from the bottom of the tank to form a rolling cleaning of the fruits and vegetables, and the water flows from the inner liner wall into the cleaning chamber 101 to form a circulating flow. The two are spatially vertically distributed in the cleaning chamber 101, so that the impact force of the bubbles and the scouring force of the water flow act on the surface of the fruits and vegetables from different directions, which helps to further improve the thoroughness, uniformity and efficiency of cleaning.

[0062] Here, the bottom cover 32 is fixedly assembled to the inner liner 31 by welding, thereby achieving a sealed connection between the bottom cover 32 and the inner liner 31, thus ensuring that the airflow channel 304 and the water flow channel 303 formed between the bottom cover 32 and the inner liner 31 are independent of each other and do not communicate with each other.

[0063] Please see Figure 6In one embodiment, the number of circulating water outlets 302 is set to at least two, with the two circulating water outlets 302 respectively located at diagonal positions of the inner liner 31. The water flow channel 303 is located around the airflow channel 304, so that the water flowing in the outer water flow channel 303 enters the cleaning chamber 101 in a diagonal outlet manner, forming a circulating flow within the cleaning chamber 101. This simplifies the path arrangement of the water flow channel 303, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the cleaning module 30. Furthermore, the diagonal outlet method allows for a more uniform distribution of water flow within the cleaning chamber 101, with a more sufficient flow path, thus improving the rinsing effect on fruits and vegetables and enhancing the thoroughness and uniformity of the cleaning. Of course, this is not the only possibility. For those skilled in the art, the number of circulating water outlets 302 can also be set to one, three, or even more, and the circulating water outlets 302 can also be located on the wall of the inner liner 31; further details will not be elaborated here.

[0064] Here, the number of circulating outlets 302 is set to two. Of course, this is not the only option; those skilled in the art can also set the number of circulating outlets 302 to three, four, or even more, which will not be elaborated here.

[0065] Please see Figures 4 to 7 , Figure 9 In one embodiment, the bottom cover 32 is provided with a connector assembly 321, which is connected to the water flow channel 303 and the air flow channel 304 respectively. The connector assembly 321 can be simultaneously inserted into the air inlet 23, the circulation port 21, and the drain port 22 under the action of the inner liner 31. This allows the cleaning module 30 to be simultaneously connected to the flow channel assembly 20 via the connector assembly 321 when installed in the water tank 10, without the need for additional connection operations, thus facilitating the installation and use of the cleaning module 30 in the water tank 10. Here, the connector assembly 321 is integrally formed on the bottom cover 32.

[0066] Please see Figures 4 to 8 In one embodiment, the cleaning module 30 further includes a drain plate 33, which is detachably installed inside the inner liner 31. A circulating water outlet 302 is positioned above the drain plate 33 along the depth direction Z of the cleaning chamber 101. This allows the cleaning module 30 to elevate fruits and vegetables during cleaning by using the drain plate 33. By controlling the water level in the cleaning chamber 101, the water flow from the circulating water outlet 302 creates differentiated rinsing effects on the fruits and vegetables, meeting the cleaning needs of different types of fruits and vegetables. This ensures the cleaning effect and adaptability of the cleaning module 30 when cleaning fruits and vegetables. Here, the preset distance between the drain plate 33 and the circulating water outlet 302 can be set to 20mm-30mm.

[0067] Specifically, when the water level in the cleaning chamber 101 is lower than the circulating outlet 302, for example, when the water level is about 20mm above the drain plate 33, the jet from the circulating outlet 302 can generate a localized strong rinsing. Due to the lower water level, the rising distance of the air bubbles is shorter, which can also generate a strong bubble wash. In this mode, the cleaning module 30 is suitable for cleaning leafy vegetables and dirty fruits and vegetables such as peanuts. When the water level in the cleaning chamber 101 is above the circulating outlet 302, for example, when the water level is about 10mm above the circulating outlet 302, the jet from the circulating outlet 302 can generate a strong circulation effect, which works in conjunction with the bubble wash to achieve a highly efficient and uniform cleaning effect. In this mode, the cleaning module 30 is suitable for cleaning most fruits and vegetables. When the water level in the cleaning chamber 101 is high, the circulating outlet 302 jets water into the chamber and forms a circulation. In this mode, the cleaning module 30 is suitable for cleaning larger or leafy fruits and vegetables. It should be noted that when the cleaning module 30 is used to clean small, easily damaged fruits and vegetables such as strawberries, cherries, and mulberries, only bubble cleaning can be used to avoid water flow impact damaging the fruit and vegetable skin.

[0068] Please see Figure 8 In one embodiment, the drain plate 33 is provided with an air outlet 331, which is correspondingly arranged with the aeration hole 311. The projection of the air outlet 331 along the depth direction Z of the cleaning chamber 101 toward the corresponding aeration hole 311 can cover the aeration hole 311, so that the fruits and vegetables can be placed on the drain plate 33 with an elevated position, avoiding direct coverage or blockage of the aeration hole 311 at the bottom of the tank. This allows the gas supplied by the aeration hole 311 to flow smoothly to the fruits and vegetables through the aeration hole 311, ensuring the stable performance of the bubble cleaning effect and facilitating the draining and removal of the cleaned fruits and vegetables, thereby further improving the ease of use of the cleaning module 30.

[0069] Here, a baffle 312 is provided on the inner wall of the inner liner 31, and the drain plate 33 is placed flat on the baffle 312 to realize the detachable installation of the drain plate 33 inside the inner liner 31.

[0070] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the cleaning module 30 further includes a slag basket 34, which is connected to the cleaning chamber 101 and is independently set relative to the airflow channel 304 and the water flow channel 303. This allows the slag basket 34 to collect the residue generated during the cleaning process, preventing the accumulation of residue from causing blockage of the water flow channel 303, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of water.

[0071] In this embodiment, the waste basket 34 is inserted into the inner liner 31 and engages with it to press and limit the drain plate 33. This allows the waste basket 34 to press and limit the drain plate 33 against the baffle 312 of the inner liner 31, preventing the drain plate 33 from shifting during use and simplifying the assembly and fixation of the drain plate 33 within the inner liner 31. However, this is not the only possibility. For those skilled in the art, the relationship between the waste basket 34 and the drain plate 33 is not limited to the above description. The waste basket 34 can also be integrated with the drain plate 33, thereby completely eliminating the seams between the drain plate 33 and the waste basket 34, and physically preventing food residue and wastewater from remaining in the seams and causing odors. This not only facilitates daily maintenance of the drain plate 33 and the waste basket 34 but also fundamentally improves the hygienic performance of the cleaning device 100.

[0072] Please see Figure 10 In one embodiment, the slag basket 34 includes a frame 341 and a flip-top plate 342. The flip-top plate 342 is rotatably installed inside the opening 3411 of the frame 341 to open or cover the opening 3411 of the frame 341. By providing a flip-top plate 342 on its frame 341 to cover the opening 3411, the frame 341 after the flip-top plate 342 is flipped can be used as a handhold for the slag basket, making it convenient for users to remove the slag basket 34 from the inner liner 31 after cleaning, thereby improving the ease of disassembling the slag basket 34.

[0073] Here, a pivot 3412 is provided on the frame 341, which is eccentrically positioned relative to the frame 341. The flip cover 342 is engaged with the pivot 3412 and can rotate relative to the frame 341 around the pivot 3412 to open or close the opening 3411. Furthermore, a boss 3413 is provided on the frame 341. When the flip cover 342 is closed over the opening 3411, the boss 3413 abuts against and supports the flip cover 342 to ensure stability when the flip cover 342 is closed over the opening 3411. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the slag basket 34 has protrusions 3414 on both sides of the frame 341 along its length, and the slag basket 34 can be engaged with the inner liner 31 via the protrusions 3414.

[0074] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the cleaning module 30 further includes a housing 35, which is fitted over the inner liner 31 and the bottom cover 32, and a connector assembly 321 on the bottom cover 32 passes through the housing 35. In this way, the cleaning module 30 can form a closed integral structure, thereby improving the cleanliness and aesthetics of the cleaning module.

[0075] Please see Figure 11In one embodiment, the circulating pump 41 and the multi-way valve 42 are integrated into one unit, so that the circulating pump 41 and the multi-way valve 42 can be manufactured as an independent modular component. This avoids the need for separate pipeline connection operations for the circulating pump 41 and the multi-way valve 42 during on-site assembly, which helps to simplify on-site installation procedures and improve assembly efficiency.

[0076] Here, the multi-way valve 42 is configured as an electrically operated three-way regulating valve, and the multi-way valve 42 and the circulating pump 41 share the same valve body 401 to achieve integrated configuration between the multi-way valve 42 and the circulating pump 41. Of course, this is not the only option; those skilled in the art can also configure the multi-way valve 42 as a pneumatic three-way regulating valve, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0077] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the cleaning device 100 further includes a fan 50, the air outlet of the fan 50 being connected to the air inlet 23 on the flow channel assembly 20, so that when the cleaning device 100 is working, the fan 50 provides gas to the cleaning chamber 101 of the cleaning module 30 through the flow channel assembly 20 to realize the bubble cleaning operation of the cleaning module 30.

[0078] In this embodiment, the water circulation module 40 and the fan 50 are both installed on the bottom of the water tank 10, and the flow channel assembly 20 is installed on the wall of the water tank 10. This allows the cleaning device 100 to make full use of the installation space at the bottom of the water tank, achieving a compact layout of the overall structure.
