Abstract

This document presents an innovative modular and portable kitchen device consisting of a manual dishwashing sink integrated with a tabletop electric cooktop. The system is specifically designed for use in limited or non-traditional kitchen environments. The manual sink includes two separate tanks: a clean water tank and a wastewater tank. The clean water is stored in a dedicated container located beneath the sink and is delivered to the faucet through a small electric water pump, providing sufficient pressure for manual washing of dishes, fruits, and vegetables. Wastewater drainage is performed purely by gravity, without the use of any pump, through a drain valve located at the bottom of the wastewater tank. The modular design allows the sink and electric cooktop to be easily connected or separated as needed. The unit is equipped with lockable wheels for safe mobility and includes a storage compartment beneath the sink and cooktop for kitchen utensils. This invention is particularly suitable for student dormitories, small apartments, workplaces without kitchen facilities, elderly users, and individuals with limited mobility.
