Description

Sink with washing machine {SINK COMPRISING WASHING MACHINE}

The present invention relates to a sink installed in a kitchen space, and more particularly, to a washing machine and a dehydration boiling stroke provided with a small washing machine provided to enable easy washing and washing of dishcloths mainly used in the kitchen and at the same time in the sink It relates to a sink having a washing machine provided to dehydrate the food waste generated.

In general, a washing machine installed in a home is provided to automatically perform washing, rinsing, and dehydration strokes according to an already entered program. Some of these conventional washing machines include a washing machine having a heater therein so that laundry can be boiled and washed. . In addition, such a washing machine is usually installed in a bathroom of a home in order to facilitate drainage and water supply, and is provided to have a rather large capacity so that a user can wash laundry collected at a time for one time. The conventional washing machine used has the following problems.

First of all, the conventional washing machine as described above has a rather large capacity so that a large amount of laundry can be washed at a time. This results in a waste of electrical energy.

In addition, small laundry such as handkerchief and underwear or dishcloth used in the kitchen space should be boiled and washed frequently in consideration of hygiene, and when such laundry is boiled using a conventional washing machine, a large amount of washing water is heated through the heater. Since it should be, a problem arises in that a lot of energy is consumed.

In particular, the dish towels used in the kitchen space is used to boil dirty soil several times a day as it is often wiped, and in order to boil these dish towels, the user has to move from the kitchen to the bathroom in which the washing machine is installed. there was.

In addition, in the sink installed in the kitchen space of the conventional home, food waste is generated in the process of washing dishes, etc. Since such food waste contains a large amount of water, it is usually dehydrated. In order to effectively dehydrate the need to install a separate dehydrator around the sink occurs.

The present invention is to solve such a problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine having a boil function in the sink of the kitchen, it is easy to wash clothes and small laundry that needs to be boiled without washing water and energy It is to provide a sink equipped with a washing machine that can be boiled to wash and to enable the dehydration of food waste without installing a separate dehydrator for dehydrating food waste in the kitchen space.
