With the continuous integration of technology and craftsmanship, traditional kitchen sinks are gradually evolving towards multifunctionality and automation. Among them, the "smart kitchen sink," as a new concept, is gaining increasing attention from the market and consumers.
But what exactly is it? What functions does it include? And how can it enhance the kitchen experience? The following article will provide a professional and in-depth analysis of the "smart kitchen sink," focusing on its definition, core functions, material structure, control methods, installation methods, practical benefits, and maintenance requirements.
What is a smart kitchen sink?
A smart kitchen sink is an innovative device that integrates a smart control module, cleaning and purification functions, and an automatic interactive system, based on a conventional kitchen sink. It transforms traditional "manual operation" into "sensory touch/automatic response," not only facilitating daily cleaning tasks but also leveraging technology to enhance health and convenience.
Higold's Smart Purifying Sink is a prime example, featuring features such as a two-in-one sink and purification function, a smart touch interface, a tabletop-controlled drainage system, and nano-hydrophobic anti-fouling technology. These technologies embody the fundamental concept of the smart kitchen sink: integrating cleaning and purification logic, saving space and steps, and reducing manual intervention.
Smart Kitchen Sink: Features and Design Components
1. Smart Purification Module
The smart kitchen sink features a built-in purification system that uses physical water decomposition and UV light to generate hydroxyl radicals, deeply removing pesticide residues, microorganisms, and pathogens from surfaces like fruits, vegetables, and tableware. This additive-free, deep-cleaning technology can remove over 90% of common pesticide residues while preserving the nutrients in the ingredients.
2. Nano-manufactured Hydrophobic and Anti-fouling Surface
Utilizing nano-manufactured sink technology, the surface achieves hydrophobic (lotus leaf-like) and oleophobic properties, allowing oil and water droplets to roll off automatically, eliminating the need for frequent cleaning and wiping, keeping countertops clean.
3. Tabletop-Controlled Drainage System
The smart kitchen sink allows for one-touch drainage at the touch of a button, eliminating the need to bend over. The button mechanically controls the water flow pattern, enabling multiple drainage levels to be switched, offering simplicity and efficiency.
4. Touch/Remote Control Interaction
The sink's integrated touch panel (black crystal panel) allows for one-touch purification, eliminating the need to touch the water or dirt, enhancing hygiene standards. Select models support Wi-Fi remote app control and voice interaction, such as the "HiGold Smart Home" system; the AI voice wake-up function enables hands-free activation.
5. Dual-Sink Design and Space Integration
Smart kitchen sinks are often designed with two basins: a large one for daily washing and a small one for purifying fruits and vegetables, achieving integrated functionality. Dual basins save space and facilitate operation, while the size, thickness, and material all meet kitchen design standards.
Smart Kitchen Sink: Material and Craftsmanship Standards
1. Main Material Selection
Smart kitchen sinks are constructed from 304 stainless steel, meeting food-grade standards. They are rust-resistant, durable, and structurally stable, ensuring longevity and safety.
2. Processing Details
• Nano-craftsmanship: Ensures overall water and oil repellency, making them easy to clean.
• PVD black finish (select models): Anti-oxidation, aesthetically pleasing, and durable. • Hand-molded design: Improves load-bearing capacity and sealing, reducing the risk of water seepage at seams.
Smart Kitchen Sink Installation and Operation Details
1. Installation Method
Smart kitchen sinks are compatible with both above-counter and under-counter installations. The cutouts are based on the required dimensions (e.g., 800×460 mm for a top plate and 820×480×355 mm for a sink). Space for the drainage and purification system within the cabinet and control power connection are required.
2. Operational Categories
• Daily Cleaning Mode: Manually control the water flow for basic cleaning.
• Automatic Purification Mode: One-touch activation of the purification process, utilizing UV and hydroxyl radicals for deep treatment, followed by automatic drainage upon completion.
• Remote/Voice Control (select models): Supports app control and voice commands, further reducing manual contact.
Values and Benefits of Smart Kitchen Sinks
1. Health Protection and Improved Cleaning Power
Smart kitchen sinks utilize deep purification functions to effectively reduce surface residue on food and tableware, ensuring healthier and cleaner meals for families.
2. Convenient Operation and Reduced Load
The tabletop drain button and touch display panel significantly enhance ease of use, making it particularly suitable for elderly users and those with limited mobility, reducing physical strain.
3. Visual and Space Optimization
The dual-function design, integrated styling, and premium materials complement modern kitchen styling, enhancing overall aesthetics and integrating more functionality within a limited space.
4. Environmental Protection and Energy Saving
The intelligent purification system requires no chemical additives and utilizes a physical + photocatalytic approach. The system also consumes a low power (e.g., 200–300 W), reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.
Maintenance and Precautions
1. Regular Cleaning and Protection
Despite its self-cleaning properties, it is recommended to regularly wipe the touch panel and surfaces with a soft cloth to prevent scratches and dust accumulation that may affect system response.
2. Filter and System Inspection
The purification module may contain a reaction-accelerating structure or UV light source. Regularly inspect the power cord and system to ensure purification efficiency.
3. Leak Prevention and Drainage Maintenance
The drainage system must be kept unobstructed, and the tabletop buttons or valves must operate smoothly. Any obstructions should be addressed promptly or contact after-sales service.
Smart Kitchen Sink Summary
The "smart kitchen sink" is an innovative kitchen product that combines a traditional cleaning platform with a modern intelligent purification system. It incorporates the following key features:
• Deep purification: Physical decomposition and UV treatment eliminate residues
• Hydrophobic and stain-resistant surface: Nano-treatment reduces cleaning burden
• Smart touch and remote control: Supports intuitive operation, remote control, and voice interaction
• Space-saving dual-sink design
• High-end materials and craftsmanship ensure durability
In summary, smart kitchen sinks bring a new level of modern convenience to the kitchen by integrating cleanliness, safety, hygiene, and aesthetics.
