Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sink technology, and in particular to a countertop sink and its manufacturing process. Background Technology

[0002] A sink is an essential hardware product for holding water for household cleaning. In existing countertop sinks, since the countertop is generally made of sturdy materials such as marble or slab, the production process requires cutting a rectangular hole in the slab, then customizing a sink to fit the hole, and finally installing it on the marble or slab countertop. Cutting marble or slab is difficult and cannot be completely cut, requiring significant labor and cost. Furthermore, the size of the sink is limited by the rectangular hole, making it impossible to change the size. Replacing the sink requires replacing the entire countertop, which does not meet the user's needs for changing sink sizes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a countertop sink that can be assembled by joining the left and right sides of the sink with the left and right countertops. When replacing the sink, the countertop does not need to be replaced. The invention also provides a manufacturing process for the countertop sink that eliminates the need to cut the countertop, thus saving labor and costs.

[0004] A manufacturing process for a countertop sink, with the following specific steps:

[0005] Step 1: Measure the thickness and shape of the sides of the left and right tabletops;

[0006] Step 2: Derive the thickness and shape of the left side of the sink from the data on the left side of the countertop, and derive the thickness and shape of the right side of the sink from the data on the right side of the countertop.

[0007] Step 3: Input the corresponding data derived in Step 2 into the flanging machine, and use the flanging machine to stamp the left and right sides of the water tank into shape;

[0008] Step 4: Fix the left side to the left countertop and the right side to the right countertop. The sink, along with the left and right countertops, forms a countertop sink.

[0009] Preferably, in step one, the sides of the left and right countertops need to be sanded before measurement to ensure that the sides of the left and right countertops are flat, so that the sink can fit into the left and right countertops.

[0010] Preferably, in step four, the connection between the left side and the left countertop, and the connection between the right side and the right countertop, needs to be waterproofed to prevent water from overflowing from the sink and seeping into the connection, which could cause mold growth and affect the appearance.

[0011] A countertop sink includes a left countertop, a right countertop, and a sink. The sink has a left side and a right side. The left side is folded to correspond to the thickness and shape of the left countertop, and the right side is folded to correspond to the thickness and shape of the right countertop. The left side is fixedly connected to the left countertop, and the right side is fixedly connected to the right countertop. The sink, the left countertop, and the right countertop are used as a whole.

[0012] Preferably, the left and right sides are fixedly connected to the left and right countertops with sealant, which can ensure that the left side is firmly connected to the left countertop and the right side is firmly connected to the right countertop.

[0013] Preferably, a faucet mounting hole is provided on the rear side of the sink, and a drain hole is provided at the bottom of the sink. The faucet can be installed on the sink through the faucet mounting hole for easy use by the user, and the water in the sink can be drained through the drain hole after use.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0015] This invention eliminates the need to cut a sturdy countertop. Instead, it features a sink, a left countertop, and a right countertop. The left and right countertops are independent sturdy surfaces that do not require cutting. The left and right sides of the sink are treated with a flanging process to ensure that the left side and right side have the same thickness and shape as the left countertop and the right side has the same thickness and shape as the right countertop. The left side and right side are then fixedly connected to the left and right countertops, respectively, thus combining the sink, left countertop, and right countertop to form a countertop sink. The left and right countertops do not require cutting, saving considerable labor and costs. Furthermore, the flanging process ensures that the left and right sides of the sink have the same thickness as the left and right countertops, avoiding the problem of uneven thickness between the sink and the countertop, which could lead to an imperfect fit and affect the user's aesthetics.

[0016] Furthermore, to ensure a smooth connection, the left and right countertops only restrict the width of the sink to be flush with the countertop; there is no limit to the length of the sink. If the user needs to replace the sink with a smaller or larger one, they only need to remove the original sink, fold up the left and right edges of the new sink, and then install the new sink between the left and right countertops to complete the sink replacement. No new countertop needs to be replaced, making it convenient to use and reducing the cost of replacing the sink.

[0017] Therefore, this invention provides a countertop sink, which is manufactured separately. The left side of the sink is aligned with the thickness and shape of the left countertop through a flanging process, and the right side is aligned with the thickness and shape of the right countertop through a flanging process. The left and right sides of the sink are then joined together with the left and right countertops to form a countertop sink. When replacing the sink, it is not necessary to replace the countertop as well. This invention also provides a manufacturing process for the countertop sink that eliminates the need to cut the countertop, saving labor and costs. Attached Figure Description

[0027] A manufacturing process for a countertop sink, with the following specific steps:

[0028] Step 1: Measure the thickness and shape of the sides of the left tabletop 1 and the right tabletop 2;

[0029] Step 2: Derive the thickness and shape of the left side 4 of the sink 3 from the data of the left side of the countertop 1, and derive the thickness and shape of the right side 5 of the sink 3 from the data of the right side of the countertop 2.

[0030] Step 3: Input the corresponding data derived in Step 2 into the flanging machine, and use the flanging machine to stamp the left side 4 and right side 5 of the water tank 3 into shape;

[0031] Step 4: Fix the left side 4 to the left countertop 1 and the right side 5 to the right countertop 2. The sink 3, the left countertop 1, and the right countertop 2 together form a countertop sink.

[0032] In step one, before measurement, the sides of the left countertop 1 and the right countertop 2 need to be sanded to ensure that the sides of the left countertop 1 and the right countertop 2 are flat, so that the sink 3 can fit into the left countertop 1 and the right countertop 2.

[0033] In step four, the connection between the left side 4 and the left countertop 1, and the connection between the right side 5 and the right countertop 2, needs to be waterproofed to prevent water from overflowing from the sink 3 and seeping into the connection, which could cause mold growth and affect the appearance.

[0034] A countertop sink includes a left countertop 1, a right countertop 2, and a sink 3. The sink 3 has a left side 4 and a right side 5. The left side 4 is flanged to correspond to the thickness and shape of the left countertop 1, and the right side 5 is flanged to correspond to the thickness and shape of the right countertop 2. The left side 4 is fixedly connected to the left countertop 1, and the right side 5 is fixedly connected to the right countertop 2. The sink 3, the left countertop 1, and the right countertop 2 are used as a whole.

[0035] The left side 4 and the right side 5 are fixedly connected to the left countertop 1 and the right countertop 2 with sealant, which can ensure that the left side 4 and the left countertop 1 are firmly connected, and the right side 5 and the right countertop 2 are firmly connected.

[0036] The back side 6 of the sink 3 has a faucet mounting hole 7 and a drain hole 8 at the bottom of the sink 3. The faucet can be installed on the sink 3 through the faucet mounting hole 7 for easy use by the user. The water in the sink 3 after use can be drained through the drain hole 8.

[0037] The use and working method of this invention are as follows:

[0038] Measure the thickness and shape of the sides of the left countertop 1 and the right countertop 2, deduce the thickness and shape of the left side 4 and the right side 5 of the sink 3, input the derived data into the flanging machine, and perform flanging process on the left side 4 and the right side 5 of the sink 3. The thickness and shape of the left side 4 are the same as those of the left countertop 1, and the thickness and shape of the right side 5 are the same as those of the right countertop 2. The left side 4 is fixedly connected to the left countertop 1, and the right side 5 is fixedly connected to the right countertop 2. The sink 3, together with the left countertop 1 and the right countertop 2, forms a countertop sink. Install the faucet in the faucet mounting hole 7, and let the water from the faucet flow into the sink 3 for use. The sink 3 is provided with a drain hole 8, and the water flows out from the drain hole 8 after use.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0040] This invention eliminates the need to cut a sturdy countertop. Instead, it features a sink 3, a left countertop 1, and a right countertop 2. The left and right countertops 1 and 2 are independent sturdy countertops that do not require cutting. The left side 4 and right side 5 of the sink 3 are processed using a flanging technique to ensure that the left side 4 has the same thickness and shape as the left countertop 1, and the right side 5 has the same thickness and shape as the right countertop 2. The left side 4 and left countertop 1 are then fixedly connected, and the right side 5 and right countertop 2 are also fixedly connected. This allows the sink 3, left countertop 1, and right countertop 2 to form a countertop sink. The left and right countertops 1 and 2 do not require cutting, saving considerable labor and costs. Furthermore, the flanging technique ensures that the left and right sides 4 and 5 of the sink 3 have the same thickness as the left and right countertops 1 and 2, avoiding the problem of the sink 3 and the countertop having different thicknesses, resulting in an imperfect fit and affecting the user's aesthetics.

[0041] Furthermore, to ensure a smooth connection, the left countertop 1 and right countertop 2 only restrict the width of the sink 3 to be flush with the countertop; there is no limit to the length of the sink 3. If the user needs to replace the sink 3 with a smaller or larger one, they only need to remove the original sink 3, fold over the left side 4 and right side 5 of the new sink 3, and then install the new sink 3 between the left countertop 1 and right countertop 2 to complete the replacement of the sink 3. There is no need to replace the countertop, making it convenient to use and reducing the cost of replacing the sink 3.

[0042] Therefore, the present invention provides a countertop sink, wherein the sink 3 is manufactured separately. The left side 4 of the sink 3 is aligned with the thickness and shape of the left countertop 1 through a flanging process, and the right side 5 is aligned with the thickness and shape of the right countertop 2 through a flanging process. The left side 4 and right side 5 of the sink 3 are spliced ​​together with the left countertop 1 and the right countertop 2 to form a countertop sink. When the sink 3 is replaced, the countertop does not need to be replaced at the same time. The present invention also provides a manufacturing process for the countertop sink that does not require cutting the countertop, thus saving labor and costs.

[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments should not be considered as limitations on the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims. For those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
