Description

Multifunctional kitchen sink

The present invention relates to a multifunctional kitchen sink, and more particularly, to a multifunctional kitchen sink capable of washing the water contained in the accompaniment by the injection of water.

Kitchen sinks are kitchen utensils for cooking food and washing utensils. The kitchen sink is composed of a cabinet for storing various kitchen utensils and a sink installed at the top of the cabinet. The sink consists of a basin that can receive water and a drain that is connected to the bottom of the basin to drain the water.

Kitchen sinks are disclosed in many patent documents, such as US Pat. Nos. 5,976,363, 6,508,368, 6,560,791, and the like. The kitchen sink of these patent documents has only a basic function of supplying and washing water through a water tap in the state of accommodating food and tableware.

Meanwhile, around the kitchen sink, dishwashers disclosed in US Pat. Nos. 7,931,155 and 7,231,929 are provided. The dishwasher puts the dishes in a basket and places them in a wash chamber, and then washes them by spraying water on the dishes through a nozzle or a spray pipe.

By the way, the kitchen sink as described above is very troublesome and inconvenient to wash the dishes while supplying water through the water hydrant in the head. In addition, when kitchen utensils such as a dishwasher or the like are installed around the kitchen sink, the kitchen space becomes narrow and the moving line is lengthened to increase the fatigue of the user. In particular, there is a place where the dishwasher can not be installed due to the small kitchen space. Dishwashers are relatively expensive, but take a lot of time to wash the dishes, dried foods or bowls (Bowl) and the like has a disadvantage that does not clean.

The present invention is to solve various problems of the conventional kitchen sink as described above. It is an object of the present invention to provide a multifunctional kitchen sink which can be washed by spraying water in a state in which washings are accommodated. In addition, to provide a multifunctional kitchen sink that can be used simply and efficiently by sterilizing the washing, processing of food waste, refrigeration.

Features of the present invention for achieving the above object, the cabinet; A sink installed at an upper portion of the cabinet and having a water outlet connected to a drain pipe at a bottom thereof; A plurality of first injection pipes installed in the interior of the accommodating body and equipped with a plurality of nozzles for spraying water on an outer circumferential surface thereof; A water supply device connected to the plurality of first injection pipes for supplying water; It is a multifunctional kitchen sink with a cover installed on top of the head to open and close the head.

In addition, a plurality of second injection pipes connected to the water supply device are further installed inside the cover, and a plurality of nozzles for injecting water toward the head are mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the plurality of second injection pipes. The first and second injection pipes are installed to rotate on each of the head and the cover.

Multifunctional kitchen sink according to the present invention can clean the various washings, such as dishes, vegetables, fruits by spraying water through the nozzles in the state closed by the cover. Therefore, there is no need to install a dishwasher around the kitchen sink, which can effectively utilize the kitchen space. In addition, the multi-functional kitchen sink according to the present invention has a practical and useful effect that can be used simply and efficiently by sterilizing the washing water, processing of food waste, refrigeration.

Evaporators, compressors, and expansion valves are well known and will not be described. The main condensation pipe 102 cools the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant vapor supplied from the condenser to release heat to the high heat source and condenses the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant liquid. The main condensation pipe 102 is wrapped by a heat insulating material 104.

Multifunctional kitchen sink according to the present invention, the controller 44 and the control panel for controlling the operation of the pump 44, the vortex generator 84, the ultrasonic vibrator 86, the ultraviolet lamp 88, the refrigerating device 100 ( 112). The controller 110 is installed inside the cabinet 10. The control panel 112 is installed at the front of the sink 20 for the user's operation.

The multifunctional kitchen sink according to the present invention includes a refrigerator 120 installed at one side of the cabinet 10. The refrigerating compartment 122 of the refrigerator 120 is configured to be opened and closed by a cover 124. The sub condensation pipe 126 is disposed around the refrigerator 120 to cool the refrigerator 120. The sub condensation pipe 126 branches off from the main condensation pipe 102. The sub condensation pipe 126 is wrapped by the heat insulating material 128.

Now, the operation of the multifunctional kitchen sink according to the present invention having such a configuration will be described.

Referring to FIG. 3, the user opens the cover 50, stores the washing water 2, for example, the dishes in the accommodating 22, and then closes the cover 50 again. Water supplied by the operation of the pump 44 is supplied to the

bores

32 and 62 of the first and

second injection pipes

30 and 60 through the first and second

water supply pipes

42 and 70. Water is sprayed into the wash 2 through the

nozzles

34, 64. Since the first and

second spray pipes

30 and 60 are rotated by the support of the first and

second bearings

36 and 66, water is sprayed through the

nozzles

34 and 64 in various directions to wash the water 2. Will improve the cleaning efficiency. Water supplied by the operation of the pump 44 is supplied to the bottom nozzles 80 through the third water supply pipe 82. The bottom nozzles 80 cleanly wash the washing 2 by spraying water under the washing 2. On the other hand, the food waste generated after washing of the washings 2, such as tableware, is supplied to the food waste processor 90 through the drain pipe 24.
