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] 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. This means that the solution can only be implemented when a sink dishwasher is installed simultaneously. Furthermore, the sink dishwasher itself, due to its bottom return and drainage components, suffers from severe volume limitations in height, still resulting in a limitation on the sink's volume.

[0004] Therefore, the current integrated cleaning structure of water tanks and automatic cleaning machines needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cleaning device that does not affect the independent usable volume of the water tank and can provide an automatic cleaning function, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A cleaning device includes a water tank and a food washing tank detachably disposed in the water tank. It also includes a flow channel module for supplying water and / or air to the food washing tank and an electrical module for providing medium transport power to the flow channel module. The flow channel module and the electrical module are connected at adjacent side edges of the water tank to form a mounting body. The mounting body is close to the outer wall of the water tank and is installed at a corner of the water tank.

[0007] Existing methods of combining food washing tanks with sinks or sink dishwashers result in the food washing tank occupying the sink's usable space. This utility model provides a food washing tank that can be combined with or separated from the sink. When combined with the sink, it is an electric washing tank; when separated from the sink, it reverts to an independent large sink, thus meeting the different cleaning needs of users.

[0008] By adopting the above structure, the flow channel module and the electrical module are arranged in an interconnected L-shaped structure and installed at the corner of the water tank. This not only facilitates assembly but also makes full use of the narrow space on the outside of the water tank and at the corner, which helps to improve space utilization.

[0009] Preferably, both the flow channel module and the electrical module have a flat structure. The flow channel module is arranged close to the left or right side wall of the water tank, and the electrical module is arranged close to the rear side wall of the water tank. This structure further reduces the overall volume of the water supply and air supply structures, and maximizes the utilization of the narrow space surrounding the water tank, based on the installation characteristics of the water tank of this invention, thereby providing conditions for installing other functional devices in the space beneath the water tank.

[0010] Preferably, the medium flow channel of the flow channel module extends laterally along the outer wall of the water tank. A first guide section, extending perpendicularly from the end of the medium flow channel towards the side wall of the electrical module, is provided near the first edge of the flow channel module. Correspondingly, a second guide section, detachably insertable into the first guide section, is provided near the second edge of the flow channel module. This structure enables a corner connection between the flow channel module and the electrical module, facilitating assembly and disassembly while adapting to the installation space at the corner of the water tank.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the water tank is provided with a support edge extending outward from its open edge, and the insertion points of the first and second flow guide sections are arranged in the space below the corner of the support edge. Placing the insertion points of the second flow guide sections at the corner of the support edge further improves the utilization rate of the narrow space in the outer part of the water tank.

[0012] Preferably, the width of the rear support edge of the water tank is greater than the width of the left or right support edge, and the rear support edge of the water tank forms an operating surface for installing a faucet and / or for controlling whether the electrical module is operating. This structure can help to further improve the space utilization rate of the rear support edge of the water tank.

[0013] Preferably, the first guide section is inserted into the second guide section, and a sealing structure capable of compression or elastic fit is provided between the first guide section and the second guide section. This sealing structure can be a rib structure directly formed on the outer periphery of the first guide section, or a sealing ring fitted around the outer periphery of the first guide section, to prevent water leakage at the junction of the two sections.

[0014] Preferably, the side wall of the food washing tank is provided with an air inlet and a water outlet near the bottom. The flow channel module is provided with an air inlet pipe that can communicate with the air inlet, a water inlet pipe that can communicate with the water outlet, and a drain pipe. The side wall of the tank has a notch for the air inlet and water outlet to communicate with the corresponding pipes. This structure facilitates the connection of the flow channels for air intake, water intake, and drainage.

[0015] Preferably, the air inlet pipe has an inverted bowl-shaped, V-shaped, or U-shaped structure, the water inlet pipe is located below the air inlet pipe and also has an inverted bowl-shaped, V-shaped, or U-shaped structure, and the drain pipe is located below the water inlet pipe. 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 inlet structure, or entering the water inlet pipe and affecting its front water inlet structure.

[0016] Preferably, the electrical module includes a fan, a micro-nano bubble water generator, and a drain pump. The fan's inlet is located within the electrical module, and its outlet is connected to an air intake pipe. The micro-nano bubble water generator's inlet is connected to a water source, and its outlet is connected to a water inlet pipe. The drain pump's inlet is connected to a drain pipe, and its outlet is connected to a sewer pipe. The fan provides power for air intake, the micro-nano bubble water generator provides micro-nano bubble water as washing water to improve cleaning effectiveness, and the drain pump provides powerful drainage to ensure no residual water.

[0017] Preferably, the fan is installed upside down in the electrical module, i.e., the air inlet faces upwards. Correspondingly, the top wall of the electrical module has an air outlet arranged in accordance with the air inlet. The outlet of the drain pump is located at its top and connected to a suspended drain pipe, the outlet end of which is connected to a drain pipe. The fan is installed upside down to prevent water backflow from damaging the fan. The front end of the micro-nano bubble water generator is connected to a water inlet valve. The outlet of the drain pump is located at its top and connected to a suspended drain pipe to prevent backflow of drainage.

[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 sink. When the food washing tank is needed, it is placed in the sink, and the water and air intake of the food washing tank is realized through the cooperation of the flow channel module and the electrical module to achieve cleaning. When the food washing tank is not needed, it can be removed from the sink, so that the sink has a large volume of cleaning space to meet user needs. In addition, the main structure composed of the flow channel module and the electrical module is installed at the corner of the sink, which not only facilitates assembly, but also makes full use of the narrow space on the outside of the sink and at the corner, which helps to improve space utilization. Unlike existing sink dishwashers, it does not occupy the space at the bottom of the sink, leaving space under the sink for installing other items. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The medium flow channel of the aforementioned flow channel module 10 extends laterally along the outer wall of the water tank 1. A first guide section 01, extending perpendicularly to the end of the medium flow channel and towards the side wall of the electrical module 20, is provided near the first edge of the flow channel module 10. Correspondingly, a second guide section 02, detachably insertable with the first guide section 01, is provided near the second edge of the electrical module 20. This structure enables a corner connection between the flow channel module 10 and the electrical module 20, facilitating assembly and disassembly while adapting to the corner installation space of the water tank 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, the top of the water tank 1 is provided with a support edge 15 extending outward from its open edge.

The water inlet pipe 102 is located below the air inlet pipe 101 and also has an inverted bowl-shaped, V-shaped, or U-shaped structure. The drain pipe 103 is located below the water inlet pipe 102. The drain pipe 103 can be arranged with its height gradually decreasing in the drainage direction. The input end of the air inlet pipe 101, the input end of the water inlet pipe 102, and the discharge end of the drain pipe 103 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The output end of the air inlet pipe 101 is connected to the air inlet 21, and the output end of the water inlet pipe 102 intersects with the input end of the drain pipe 103 and is connected to the water outlet 22. 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 backflow water from entering the air inlet pipe 101 and affecting its front air inlet structure, or entering the water inlet pipe 102 and affecting its front water inlet structure.

[0032] The electrical module 20 in this embodiment includes a fan 201, a micro-nano bubble water generator 202, and a drain pump 203.
