Poor welding may cause the bracket 3' to fall off, or cause leaks due to burn-through; 2. If the positioning accuracy of the welded bracket 3' is not high, it will lead to difficulties in installing the frame 2', and the distance error between the frame 2' and the bottom of the tank 1' will be large; 3. The assembly is cumbersome, involving the positioning of multiple brackets 3': welding, frame 2' installation, screw tightening, and other steps are required; 4. During the handling process, the bracket 3' is easily damaged by bumps and deformation, affecting the installation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The first technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a water tank that is easy to install, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0005] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sink-type dishwasher that utilizes the above-mentioned sink, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the first technical problem mentioned above is as follows: a water tank, including a tank body and a surrounding frame, the top of the tank body being open, characterized in that the bottom of the tank body is located in the surrounding frame, a support member is provided inside the surrounding frame, the lower peripheral wall of the tank body partially protrudes outward to form a convex part, the top of the surrounding frame extends upward to form a support arm and a buckle block located at the top of the support arm, the support arm can be deflected outward under force, and the support arm maintains the buckle block pressing against the top wall surface of the convex part under the action of restoring force, and in this state, the support member abuts against the bottom wall of the tank body.

[0007] Preferably, each side wall of the trough is provided with multiple protrusions that are connected in sequence to form ribs, and there are multiple support arms that are spaced apart in sequence. Correspondingly, there are multiple fasteners. The protrusions not only serve to connect with the frame, but also to strengthen the trough and increase its strength.

[0008] To facilitate the buckle's movement over the protrusion and abut against its top wall, the bottom wall of the protrusion slopes inward from top to bottom to form a first inclined surface. Correspondingly, the top wall of the buckle is at least partially a second inclined surface adapted to the first inclined surface. The cooperation between the first and second inclined surfaces serves as a guide and avoidance mechanism, facilitating the buckle's movement over the protrusion.

[0009] In the above solution, the structure is simple. The support member is a vertically extending column, or the support member is a vertically arranged spring or sheet. The elastic structure makes the support member and the base in elastic contact, and will not cause damage to the components due to hard contact.

[0010] Preferably, the groove includes a vertically extending annular body and a base with an open top, the annular body and the base being connected together by a flanged interlocking mechanism, and the protrusion being provided on the annular body. This structural form of the groove makes it easy to form the protrusion by pressing the annular body.

[0011] Preferably, the protrusion is spaced from the bottom edge of the annular body, so that the frame is positioned at a higher height around the outside of the tank, increasing the area covered by the frame, reducing heat loss from the tank, and also blocking the sound of the water flowing at the bottom, thus reducing noise.

[0012] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the second technical problem mentioned above is: a sink-type dishwasher, characterized in that it includes the above-mentioned sink, and the sink body is further provided with a spray arm.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model forms a protrusion on the trough and a support arm and a buckle on the frame. The buckle can press against the top wall of the protrusion to prevent the trough from moving upward. The support can support the bottom of the trough to prevent the trough from moving downward. The buckle and the support cooperate to limit the trough in the vertical direction.

[0014] The assembly method of this utility model is simple. Just install the groove downward on the frame until the bottom of the groove abuts against the support. In this state, the buckle will automatically press against the top wall of the protrusion to fix the groove in the vertical direction. There will also be no problems such as overflow or inaccurate welding position caused by welding. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] In the description of this utility model patent, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an adhesive connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model patent based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the preferred embodiment of the water tank includes a tank body 1 and a frame 2. The top of the tank body 1 is open, and the bottom of the tank body 1 is located in the frame 2. A support member 21 is provided inside the frame 2. The lower peripheral wall of the tank body 1 partially protrudes outward to form a protrusion 11. The top of the frame 2 extends upward to form a support arm 22 and a buckle 23 located at the top of the support arm 22. The support arm 22 can deflect outward under force, and under its own restoring force, the support arm 22 keeps the buckle 23 pressed against the top wall surface of the protrusion 11. Figure 3As shown, in this state, the support member 21 abuts against the bottom wall of the tank 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, the support member 21 is a vertically extending column, which has a simple structure. Of course, the support member 21 can also be a vertically arranged spring or sheet, and the elastic structure allows the support member 21 to have elastic contact with the bottom of the groove 1, so as not to cause damage to the components due to hard contact.

[0027] To facilitate the fastener 23 passing over the protrusion 11 and pressing against the top wall surface of the protrusion 11, the bottom wall surface of the protrusion 11 slopes inward from top to bottom to form a first inclined surface 111 (inward refers to the direction towards the interior of the groove 1). Correspondingly, the top wall surface of the fastener 23 is at least partially adapted to the first inclined surface 111 as a second inclined surface 231. The cooperation of the first inclined surface 111 and the second inclined surface 231 serves to guide and avoid obstacles, facilitating the fastener 23 to pass over the protrusion 11.

[0028] As can be seen from the above, the buckle 23 can press against the top wall of the protrusion 11 to prevent the groove 1 from moving upward, and the support member 21 can support the bottom of the groove 1 to prevent the groove 1 from moving downward. The buckle 23 and the support member 21 cooperate to limit the groove 1 in the vertical direction.

[0029] In this embodiment, each side wall of the tank 1 is provided with multiple protrusions 11, which are connected in sequence to form ribs extending in the horizontal direction. There are multiple support arms 22, which are arranged at intervals in sequence. Correspondingly, there are multiple fasteners 23. The protrusions 11 not only serve to connect with the frame 2, but also serve to strengthen the tank 1 and increase its strength. At the same time, multiple support arms 22 are required. The structure formed by the multiple support arms 22 can wrap around the tank 1, reduce heat loss, and also block the sound of water flowing at the bottom of the tank 1, thus achieving a noise reduction effect.

[0030] In this embodiment, the tank 1 includes a vertically extending annular body 12 and a base 13 with an open top. The annular body 12 and the base 13 are connected together by a flanged interlocking mechanism, and a protrusion 11 is provided on the annular body 12. This structural form of the tank 1 makes it easy to form the protrusion 11 by pressing the annular body 12. The flanged interlocking method of the annular body 12 and the base 13 can adopt the connection method of the vertical cylinder and the bottom of the tank as disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. CN202221382130.2 (Publication No. CN217679451U), entitled "A Water Tank and Cleaning Machine".

[0031] The protrusion 11 is spaced from the bottom edge of the annular body 12, so that the frame 2 is positioned at a relatively high height around the outside of the tank 1, increasing the coverage area of ​​the frame 2, reducing heat loss from the tank 1, and also blocking the sound of the water flowing at the bottom, thus reducing noise. In this embodiment, both the tank 1 and the frame 2 have square cross-sections to prevent relative rotation between them in the circumferential direction.

[0032] The sink in this embodiment can be used in a sink-type dishwasher. The sink 1 is also equipped with a spray arm, which can adopt an existing structure.

[0033] In one embodiment, the sink in this embodiment can be controlled by a voice module, which is equipped with a controller, a voice receiving module, and a voice parsing module. The voice receiving module receives user commands, and the voice parsing module parses the commands. Based on the parsed commands, the controller controls the sink to perform corresponding operations, thereby realizing intelligent control of the sink and improving the user experience.

[0034] In another embodiment, the sink-type dishwasher of this embodiment can be controlled by a voice module, which is equipped with a controller, a voice receiving module, and a voice parsing module. The voice receiving module receives user commands, and the voice parsing module parses the commands. Based on the parsed commands, the controller controls the sink-type dishwasher to perform corresponding operations, thereby realizing intelligent control of the sink-type dishwasher and improving the user experience.
