Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a sink incorporating a disposer and a dishwasher.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, a disposer for crushing kitchen waste generated during a cooking operation and flowing the waste together with drainage has been installed so that a drain outlet of a sink serves as a kitchen waste input port of the disposer. Since kitchen waste can be poured into the disposer from the drain of the sink, the surroundings of the sink will not be stained during the work of loading the kitchen waste, and the dirt attached to the surface of the sink only needs to be poured into the disposer. It was kept hygienic. On the other hand, some dishwashers for cleaning dishes and cooking utensils are installed and installed in a storage room below a sink or a storage room below a cooking worktop, and put dishes in and out of the dishwasher. Since the door for the sink looks like the door of the storage room of the sink, the beauty of the sink was not impaired. When both the disposer and the dishwasher are installed, the wastewater from the dishwasher, which is normally discharged to the outside after being merged with the drainage from the sink, is introduced into the grinding chamber of the disposer so that it is crushed. there is one provided a dishwasher effluent connection ports to the chamber.

[0003]

Since the disposer is suspended from the drain of the sink, the disposer is installed in a storage room below the sink. If both a disposer and a dishwasher are installed, the sink must be installed in a storage room below the sink and the dishwasher is installed in another storage room beside the sink. There was a problem that the size was significantly reduced.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a dishwasher is housed and installed in a cabinet adjacent to a sink, and a disposer is installed below the cabinet. In addition, since a drain port is provided on the surface including the side wall of the sink to connect the kitchen waste input port of the disposer, a large storage space for the sink can be secured. May be provided with a drainage connection tube for introducing the waste water of the dishwasher to the grinding chamber of the disposer,
In conjunction with the drainage operation of the dishwasher, and a control means for performing the operation of the disposer, it is allowed to flow garbage comminuted in disposer with waste water of the dishwasher, also saves water. In addition, it becomes possible to discharge the leftovers adhered to the dishes washed by the dishwasher to the disposer, eliminating the trouble of cleaning the leftovers inside the dishwasher, and improving the usability of the dishwasher. Further, the dishwasher and the disposer may be arranged vertically and stored in a storage room below or on the side of the sink, and further, in the storage room below or on the side of the sink, the dishwasher, Even if the disposer is arranged and stored on the side, a large storage space for the sink can be secured.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of a sink according to the present invention. The sink 1 has a top plate 4 having a sink 2 and a faucet faucet 3, and a storage room 5 below the top plate 4. On the side of the sink 2, above the top plate 4, provided with a storage cabinet 6 that opens towards the sink 2, installing the dishwasher 7 in the storage cabinet 6.
A door 8 for putting dishes in and out of the dishwasher 7 is provided facing the sink 2. Below the dishwasher 7, a disposer 9 for crushing kitchen garbage is provided. Sink 2 in storage room 5
Since there is no equipment to be installed in the lower part of the box, it can be widely used as a storage space.

[0006] disposer 9 has a garbage inlet 11 in communication with the grinding chamber 10 and the grinding chamber 10 to crush garbage,
The lower part of the crushing chamber 10 communicates with the drain pipe 12. The kitchen waste inlet 11 is connected to a drain 13 provided in the sink 2.
The drain 13 may be provided so as to include the side wall 14 of the sink 2, which makes it easier to put garbage into the grinding chamber 10 located on the side of the sink 2, and confirms the inside of the grinding chamber 10 from the drain 13. Will be easier. The dishwasher 7 and the disposer 9 are connected by a drain connection pipe 15, and the wastewater from the dishwasher 7 can be introduced into the crushing chamber 10 of the disposer 9.

In such a configuration, when the garbage is to be crushed, the garbage is introduced from the drain 13 of the sink 2. Garbage accumulates in the crushing chamber 10 from the drain 13 through the kitchen refuse inlet 11. When the disposer 9 is operated while the faucet faucet 3 is opened and water is flowing, the garbage crushed in the crushing chamber 10 falls into the sink 2 and passes through the drain 13 and the garbage input port 11 to the crushing chamber 10. The water is discharged to the drain pipe 12 in a flowing state together with the inflowing water, and flows down the drain pipe 12. Wastewater containing kitchen waste is purified by a wastewater treatment facility (not shown) and then discharged to the sewer.

On the other hand, dishwasher 7 is provided with a water supply means (not shown), with water supplied from the water supply means, plates were washed and the washing water via the drainage connection tube 15, the grinding chamber 10 of the disposer 9 And flows down the drain pipe 12. Wastewater from the dishwasher will be purified by the wastewater treatment facility in the same manner as wastewater containing kitchen waste, and even if the waste left on the dishes washed by the dishwasher is discharged to the disposer, the wastewater will be purified. Since the water is discharged to the sewer afterwards, the environmental load on the discharge destination can be reduced. There is no need to clean up the leftovers inside the dishwasher, and the usability of the dishwasher is improved. It is to be noted that control means 16 for operating the disposer 9 in conjunction with the drainage operation of the dishwasher 7 may be provided, and the disposer 9 may be operated so as to operate in conjunction with the drainage operation of the dishwasher 7. 9 may be provided with a reservation unit 17 for reserving the operation. Since the drainage of the dishwasher 7 can be used as the water for flowing and flowing the garbage crushed by the disposer 9, it is necessary to open the faucet faucet 3 and run the water to operate the disposer 9. The water consumption of the sink can be reduced.

Next, another embodiment of the sink according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 shows a front view of another embodiment of the sink according to the present invention. Sink 22 in sink 21
