Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular relates to a sink that is easy to install. Background Art

[0002] A sink used for washing hands and vegetables is a common household appliance. This type of sink is also called a basin.

[0003] Basins are divided into above-the-counter basins, mid-counter basins and under-the-counter basins. Figure 8 When in use, it is easy for sewage to flow out onto the countertop and cannot flow back into the sink, causing sewage to accumulate on the countertop. The undercounter basin is a basin that is glued to the bottom of the countertop (as shown in the figure). Fig.10 As shown), although the under-counter basin can allow sewage to flow back, the under-counter basin needs to be glued between the bottom of the countertop and the edge of the basin. The adhesive layer formed after the glue is cured is easy to hide dirt and breed bacteria. In addition, the under-counter basin is easy to fall off after long-term use due to the failure of the glue. Therefore, some under-counter basins need to be equipped with auxiliary brackets during design (such as the invention patent with application number 202323395887.2).

[0004] The Taichung basin perfectly solves the above two problems. The Taichung basin opens a sinking groove on the inner edge of the countertop and then embeds the edge of the basin into the sinking groove, so that the top surface of the basin edge is flush with or lower than the top surface of the countertop, so that sewage can flow back into the sink.

[0005] However, the installation surface of the basin edge of the existing countertop basin is parallel to the basin edge. When installing, a sinking groove parallel to the basin edge needs to be opened on the countertop, so that the basin edge of the countertop basin is installed in the sinking groove. The construction of the sinking groove is complicated, and a flat groove needs to be cut on the top of the inner circle of the countertop. If the construction accuracy is poor, it is easy to have a gap between the countertop and the basin edge (such as Fig. 9 Not only does it affect the overall appearance, but the gap between the countertop and the edge of the basin is also prone to accumulate sewage and breed bacteria. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the technical problems that when installing the existing undermount basin, the sink trough is complicated to set up and there is a gap between the surface and the basin edge after installation, the present invention aims to provide a sink that is easy to install.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0008] A sink that is easy to install includes a sink body, the top of the sink body is provided with a basin edge, the basin edge is installed on a table top, an obtuse angle a is formed between the installation surface of the basin edge and the outer side wall of the sink body; an inclined surface is provided on the inner circle edge of the table top that contacts the basin edge, and the inclined surface of the inner circle edge of the table top forms an acute angle b with the vertical direction; the top surface of the basin edge is lower than the top surface of the table top.

[0009] As an option, the basin rim is in the form of a folding plate, the first plate body of the folding plate basin rim is connected to the sink body, and has an obtuse angle a with the side wall of the sink body; the second plate body of the folding plate basin rim is parallel to the top surface of the countertop; a first filling piece is arranged between the folding plate basin rim and the inclined surface of the inner circle edge of the countertop.

[0010] Optionally, the cross section of the first filling piece is trapezoidal, and the upper bottom surface of the first filling piece fits the bottom surface of the first plate body of the basin edge; the lower bottom surface of the first filling piece is installed on the inclined surface of the inner circle edge of the table top.

[0011] Optionally, the first filling piece is adhered to the inclined surface of the inner edge of the table top by glue.

[0012] Optionally, the basin rim is a straight plate, and the basin rim is perpendicular to the side wall of the sink body; a second filling piece is provided on the bottom surface of the basin rim, the second filling piece has a wedge-shaped surface, and the wedge-shaped surface of the second filling piece fits with the inclined surface of the inner circle edge of the countertop; the second filling piece and the countertop are glued together.

[0013] As an option, the obtuse angle a is 120°, 135° or 150°.

[0014] Optionally, the acute angle b is 30°, 45° or 60°.

[0015] Optionally, reinforcing ribs are provided between the bottom wall and the side walls of the water tank body.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] The present invention provides a sink that is easy to install. The installation surface of the basin edge is tilted and the inner edge of the tabletop is provided with a bevel, so that the installation surface of the basin edge can be directly attached to the bevel of the inner edge of the tabletop. To provide the bevel on the inner edge of the tabletop, it is only necessary to cut the top corner of the inner edge of the tabletop at a certain angle, which is simpler than the construction of a sink. Therefore, the installation of the entire sink is more convenient and quicker. At the same time, there will be no gap between the bevel on the tabletop and the basin edge for the accumulation of sewage. The sewage can always flow back into the sink, which is not easy to breed bacteria. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3The sink shown is easy to install, comprising a sink body 1, a basin edge 2 is provided on the top of the sink body 1, the basin edge 2 is installed on the countertop 4, an obtuse angle a is formed between the installation surface of the basin edge 2 and the outer wall of the sink body 1; an inclined surface is provided on the inner edge of the countertop 4 that contacts the basin edge 2, and an acute angle b is formed between the inclined surface of the inner edge of the countertop 4 and the vertical direction; the top surface of the basin edge 2 is lower than the top surface of the countertop 4. By setting the installation surface of the basin edge 2 at an inclination and setting the inclined surface on the inner edge of the countertop 4 at the same time, the inclined installation surface of the basin edge 2 can be directly attached to the inclined surface of the inner edge of the countertop 4. To provide a bevel on the inner edge of the countertop 4, it is only necessary to cut the top corner of the inner edge of the countertop 4 along a certain angle, which is simpler than the construction of a sink. Therefore, the installation of the entire sink is also more convenient and quicker. At the same time, the bevel provided on the countertop 4 will not cause a gap between the countertop 4 and the basin edge 2 for the accumulation of sewage. The sewage can always flow back into the sink, which is not easy to breed bacteria.

[0032] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the basin edge 2 is a straight plate type, and the connection portion between the basin edge 2 and the vertical side wall of the sink body 1 has an obtuse angle, which is preferably 120°, 135° or 150°.

[0033] In this embodiment, the sum of the obtuse angle a and the acute angle b is 180°.

[0034] Correspondingly, the degree of the acute angle b is preferably 60°, 45° or 30°.

[0035] In this embodiment, the basin edge 2 can be integrally formed with the sink body 1, and the forming method is simpler.

[0036] Specifically, the basin edge 2 can be formed by stamping the top surface of the sink body 1; or it can be integrally formed by mold casting.

[0037] In other embodiments, the basin rim 2 is formed separately from the sink body 1. After the basin rim 2 is formed, the basin rim 2 is welded to the sink body 1 (only when the basin rim 2 and the sink body 1 are both made of weldable metal materials).

[0038] In this embodiment, the top surface of the basin edge 2 is slightly lower than the top surface of the table top 4 so that sewage can flow back.

[0039] Preferably, the height difference between the top surface of the basin edge 2 and the top surface of the table top 4 is the same as the thickness of the basin edge 2 .

[0040] Optionally, reinforcing ribs may be provided between the bottom wall and the side walls of the water tank body 1 to prevent the water tank body 1 from being deformed.

[0041] Embodiment 2:

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that the basin edge 2 is in a folding plate type, the first plate body of the folding plate type basin edge 2 is connected to the sink body 1, and the obtuse angle a is the angle between the first plate body and the side wall of the sink body 1; the second plate body of the folding plate type basin edge 2 is parallel to the top surface of the table top 4; a first filling piece 5 is arranged between the folding plate type basin edge 2 and the inclined surface of the inner circle edge of the table top 4.

[0043] In this embodiment, a cavity is formed below the basin edge 2, and the first filling piece 5 is used to fill the cavity.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cross section of the first filling piece 5 is trapezoidal, and the upper bottom surface of the first filling piece 5 is in contact with the bottom surface of the first plate of the basin edge 2; the lower bottom surface of the first filling piece 5 is installed on the inclined surface of the inner edge of the table top 4. The first filling piece 5 and the inclined surface of the inner edge of the table top 4 are glued together. After the glue is cured, an adhesive layer 6 is formed.

[0045] In this embodiment, the molding method of the first filling piece 5 can be determined according to the material of the basin edge 2 .

[0046] For example, when the sink body 1 and the basin rim 2 are both made of stainless steel, the first filling piece 5 is also made of stainless steel. The first filling piece 5 and the basin rim 2 are formed separately. After the basin rim 2 is welded to the sink body 1, the first filling piece 5 is directly placed in the cavity of the basin rim 2 and can also be spot welded and fixed as needed.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first filling piece 5 does not need to fill the entire cavity formed by the basin edge 2 , and the first filling piece 5 only needs to support the basin edge 2 in multiple directions.

[0048] For example, when the sink body is square, the center positions of the cavities in four directions of the basin edge 2 need to be filled with first filling pieces 5 to form support for the basin edge 2 .

[0049] Embodiment three:

[0050] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and any of the above embodiments is that the basin edge 2 is a straight plate, and the basin edge 2 is perpendicular to the side wall of the sink body 1; a second filling piece 7 is provided on the bottom surface of the basin edge 2, and the second filling piece 7 has a wedge-shaped surface, and the wedge-shaped surface of the second filling piece 7 is fitted with the inclined surface of the inner circle edge of the countertop 4; the second filling piece 7 and the countertop 4 are glued together.
