Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a device for surely washing vegetables and the like in a container with water ejected from the bottom of a container provided in a kitchen sink.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, washing vegetables such as vegetables has been carried out by storing vegetables in a washing basket, fully opening the faucet from above, and washing away dirt such as vegetables with abundant water volume vigorously. .

In addition, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-66066,
A method has also been proposed in which a fountain hole is provided at the bottom of a water tank and vegetables are washed with water ejected from the fountain hole.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, regarding the method of washing by flushing water over the vegetables stored in the basket, there is a problem in saving water because the amount of water used for the washed vegetables is too large. .

Also, in this method, only washing with jet water is required,
So-called accumulated water is not washed at all, so dirt that adheres to the area where water vigorously hits, pesticides, etc. can be easily washed away, but dirt that adheres to areas where water does not hit much,
There are drawbacks such as pesticides that cannot be washed off easily.

Further, in this method, water is vigorously flushed from the top of the vegetables, so there is a problem that the surroundings of the kitchen sink get wet due to splashing water.

On the other hand, in the method disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-66066, vegetables and the like are washed with water ejected from a fountain hole provided at the bottom of a water tank. There is only one outlet for the spouted water in the upper part of the water tank, and the water overflows into the water tank. Therefore, the cleaning effect due to the accumulated water can be expected, but on the other hand, the water filled in the water tank Since water is jetted from the holes, the jetting force of water is weakened, so that there is a drawback that the jetting effect of water cannot be expected to wash off vegetables and the like.

(Means for Solving Problems) In view of the above situation, the present invention provides a washing container for vegetables such as a tap water outlet provided on the bottom surface thereof and a sieve-like drainage nozzle provided on the side surface thereof. Place it in the kitchen sink,
On the other hand, on the side of the kitchen sink, there is a storage box for the above-mentioned container whose bottom surface is inclined toward the inside of the kitchen sink, and a caster box is provided at the bottom of the above container. When using the container, pull out the casters from the caster box. It proposes a sink washing device for vegetables and the like that guides the container in the storage cabinet to the center of the kitchen sink.

(Effect) That is, in the present invention, tap water is jetted from the bottom of the container arranged in the kitchen sink from the jet outlet, but this water is discharged from the sieve-shaped drainage nozzle provided on the side surface of the container in an appropriate amount. Therefore, an appropriate amount of water is always stored in the container, but the sink is not filled with water unlike the device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-66066. Therefore, in the device of the present invention, the jetting force of water is not weakened to the extent that there is a washing effect by the jetting force of water, and at the same time, since an appropriate amount of water is stored in the container, there is a washing effect by the stored water .

When not in use, the container is stored in a storage cabinet provided on the side surface of the kitchen sink when not in use, and the bottom surface of the storage cabinet is inclined toward the inner surface of the kitchen sink. Does not accumulate.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment, and the drawings show one embodiment of the present invention.
Is a kitchen sink, 2 is a vegetable sink container, 3 is a water faucet arranged above the kitchen sink 1, and 4 is a lid of a food waste container provided at the bottom of the kitchen sink 1.

A caster 5 accommodated in a caster box is provided at the bottom of the container 2, a sieve-shaped discharge nozzle 6 is provided at the side surface of the container 2, and a tap water spout 7 is provided at the center of the bottom of the container 2. It is provided.

On the other hand, on the side of kitchen sink 1
The storage case 8 is provided, and the bottom surface of the storage case 8 is a sloping surface that is gently inclined toward the inner surface side of the kitchen sink 1.

In the above configuration, at the time of washing vegetables with vegetables, the container 2 in the storage 8 is pulled out from the caster box and guided to the center of the kitchen sink 1 by the casters 5, and the vegetables to be washed are stored in the container 2. Tap water is spouted from the spout 7 Since an appropriate amount of water spouted from the bottom into the container 2 is discharged from the sieve-shaped discharge nozzle 6, an appropriate amount of water accumulates in the container 2 and The accumulated water cleans the dirt and pesticides on the vegetables.

Moreover, since an appropriate amount of the water stored in the container 2 is discharged from the sieve-shaped discharge nozzle 6, therefore, the jet output of the water jetted from the jet port 7 is different due to the water stored in the container 2. It cannot be weakened as much.

Therefore, in the present invention, the vegetables are flushed by the effect of washing with the stored water and the washing effect of jetting water.

Further, in this invention, the container 2 after use is the kitchen sink 1
Since it is stored in the storage 8 provided on the side surface of the kitchen sink 1, it does not interfere with the use of the kitchen sink 1.

Further, since the bottom surface of the storage case 8 is a sloping surface that is gently inclined toward the inner surface side of the kitchen sink 1, the water in the container 2 does not collect in the storage case 8.

(Effects of the Invention) In summary, according to the present invention, vegetables are contained in a container having a sieve-shaped discharge nozzle on its side surface arranged in a kitchen sink and having a tap outlet on its bottom surface. ,
By spouting water from the bottom, vegetables can be collected and washed from both sides of washing water and jetting of water, so that vegetables can be surely washed.

Further, according to the present invention, since the vegetables are washed with the water spouting from the bottom surface, there is no concern that the surroundings of the kitchen sink get wet due to the splashing water unlike the conventional method of washing the vegetables by pouring water vigorously.

Furthermore, in this invention, the vegetable sink container is stored in the storage formed on the side surface of the kitchen sink and is used by pulling it out when necessary. You can save the trouble of taking it out.

The present invention is effective not only for washing vegetables by flushing, but also for washing rice by sharpening, chilling boiled somen noodles, and the like.
