The invention relates to a sink mounting type dish washer, and more particularly, relates to a sink mounting type dish washer which may be conveniently attachable to a conventional sink.
A dish washer has been disclosed recently that includes a water container and an ultrasonic vibrator mounted at the bottom of the water container. According to this dish washer utilizing the ultrasonic vibrator, table dishes may be washed by the water vibrated by the ultrasonic vibrator. This washer has the advantage that washing efficiency may be enhanced more than the conventional water jet type dish washer. However, this washer requires special installing space and it brings about in-convenience in use.
In order to solve this problem, a sink incorporated with a dish washer has been disclosed recently. This sink includes an ultrasonic vibrator attached at the bottom of a sink and a water pipe attached at one side of the sink. This sink is mainly applied for a new house because it has the advantage that it dose not require special space for installing a dish washer.
However, in order to apply this sink for the house which has a conventional sink, the conventional sink should be removed and replaced with a new sink. Accordingly, the sink incorporated with a dish washer may increase the cost because a consumer should buy a new sink and should replace the conventional sink. And, the above sink brings about unnecessary waste of resource because the conventional sink which is still usable should be removed.
The invention is created to solve the above described problems and so the object of the invention is to provide a sink mounting type dish washer which may be easily attachable to a conventional sink and may save the cost because a consumer need not buy a new dish washer or need not remove the conventional sink and which may make the kitchen more spacious.
According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a sink mounting type dish washer comprising:
a drain body 15 mounted at the bottom of a water container 10;
a cap 20 which is provided at the upper portion of the drain body 12 and opens and closes the drain body 12;
an outer body 30 which is detachably combined at the periphery of the drain body 12 and in which a first coil 25 is embedded;
a core 40 which is sealingly embedded in the cap 20 and to the periphery of which a second coil 35 is winded;
an ultrasonic vibrator 45 which is provided at the upper portion of the cap 20 and is connected to the second coil 35 in the cap 20 and is operated by the induction current generated at the second coil 35;
and a controller 60 which is connected to the first coil 25 and supplies electric power to the first coil 25 by the signal inputted from a separate control panel 50;
and wherein washing function may be provided to the conventional sink because the outer body 30 having the first coil 25 may be inserted into the drain body 15 and the conventional cap may be replaced with the cap 20 having the core 40 to the periphery of which the second coil 35 is winded.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a sink mounting type dish washer further comprising:
RF modules 65, 70 which are respectively provided on the controller 60 and the control panel 20;
and wherein the control panel 20 may be arbitrarily located because a signal may be wirelessly transmitted from the control panel 20 to the controller 60.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will be described in detail below by referring to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to the drawings, the sink mounting type dish washer includes a outer body 30 which is detachably combined at the periphery of the drain body 12 and in which a first coil 25 is embedded, a core 40 which is sealingly embedded in the cap 20 and to the periphery of which a second coil 35 is winded, an ultrasonic vibrator 45 which is provided at the upper portion of the cap 20 and is connected to the second coil 35.
According to the invention, if electric current is supplied to the first coil 25, induction current is generated at the second coil 35 and the ultrasonic vibrator 45 is operated so that table dishes in the water container 10 may be washed.
Referring to
A core 40 is embedded in the cap 20, and a second coil 35 is winded to the periphery of the core 40. For providing the mounting space for the core 40, the cap 20 is downwardly extended in a predetermined length. And, for insulating the core 40, the inner space of the cap 20 is designed sealingly. The core 40 is made of Mg or Ni in order to have high magnetic permeability, and the second coil 35 is winded at the periphery of the core 40 so that induction current may be generated when a current is supplied to the first coil 25. The second coil 35 is connected to an ultrasonic vibrator 45 mounted at the upper side of the cap 20 and operates the ultrasonic vibrator 45. Referring to the embodiment of
In a way, as shown in
The sink mounting type dish washer of the invention may be attached to a conventional sink by a simple work that the user simply inserts the outer body 30 having a first coil 25 into the periphery of the drain body 15 and may replace the conventional cap with the cap 20 having a second coil 35 and an ultrasonic vibrator 45. Accordingly, the invention has the advantage that may save the cost and make the space of the kitchen more spacious because a user need not buy a new dish washer or need not replace the conventional sink. And, the invention has the advantage that waste of resource may be prevented because the conventional sink may be used.
Obviously, various modifications and variations of the invention are possible without departing from the principles of the invention. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claim, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.
According to the above-described invention, the invention has the advantage that it may be easily attachable to a conventional sink and may save the cost because a consumer need not buy a new dish washer or need not replace the conventional sink with a new sink. And, the invention has the advantage that it may make the kitchen more spacious.
