Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of stainless steel kitchen countertop technology, and in particular to a modular kitchen countertop and its installation method. Background Technology

[0002] Stainless steel kitchen countertops are characterized by corrosion resistance, high strength, and long service life, making them one of the mainstream countertop types in modern kitchen renovations. When installing this type of countertop, it is typically mounted on top of base cabinets, with the side closest to the wall flush against the wall to ensure basic functionality.

[0003] However, traditional stainless steel kitchen countertops, limited by their structural design, require sealant to be used at the joint with the wall to achieve a waterproof seal. But the kitchen environment is humid and oily, and the sealant, exposed to this condition for extended periods, is prone to mold, aging, and peeling, leading to a gradual loss of sealing performance. This can cause water seepage at the joint, damaging the wall surface and eroding the cabinet structure, thus affecting the overall lifespan of the kitchen. Secondly, the wall surface adjacent to the countertop can only be tiled, limiting the wall's decorative style and preventing personalized design based on user needs. Furthermore, traditional stainless steel kitchen countertops and cabinets often use a rigid connection with screws. During assembly, the cabinet top is difficult to adjust to a precise level, and the tightening of the screws can cause deformation. Simultaneously, the rigid connection creates a single, rigid unit, directly transmitting impacts from daily use to the cabinet, easily causing resonance and resulting in significant noise, severely impacting the user experience.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, "first" and "second" are only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 9As shown, the present invention provides a modular kitchen countertop, including a countertop body 1, a back panel 2, a storage strip 3, a decorative strip 4, a base cabinet 5, and a connecting component 7; the countertop body 1 includes a countertop 11, two end panels 12, a sink 13, and a mounting groove 14; the countertop 11 is an integrally formed structure, and the countertop 11 includes a front backsplash 111, a countertop surface 112, and a rear backsplash 113 connected in sequence; the two end panels 12 are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the countertop 11, and the side of the end panel 12 closest to the rear backsplash 113 is set against the wall; the sink 13 and the mounting groove 14 are respectively fixed to the countertop surface 112; the mounting groove 14 is used to install a stove; The back panel 2 is located on top of the rear baffle strip 113; the storage strip 3 is located on top of the back panel 2; the back of the storage strip 3 forms a reserved gap 31 with the wall; the surfaces of the back panel 2, the storage strip 3 and the rear baffle strip 113 are coplanar; the decorative strip 4 is located above the storage strip 3, and the bottom of the decorative strip 4 and the top of the storage strip 3 form an installation gap 41; the base cabinet 5 is used to support the countertop body 1, and a sealing strip 6 is provided between the base cabinet 5 and the countertop body 1; the connecting assembly 7 includes several suction cups 71 and shock absorbers 72 located on the base cabinet 5; the top of the shock absorber 72 abuts against the bottom of the countertop body 1; the suction cups 71 adsorb and fix the countertop body 1.

[0022] During the assembly phase, the base cabinet 5 is first fixed according to the preset layout. A sealing strip 6 is then attached to the top of the base cabinet 5. Next, suction cups 71 and shock absorbers 72 are installed on the base cabinet 5. Finally, the integrated countertop body 1 is installed on top of the base cabinet 5. At this point, the top of the shock absorber 72 on the base cabinet 5 abuts against the bottom of the countertop body 1, forming a flexible support. Simultaneously, the suction cups 71 use negative pressure to adhere and fix the countertop body 1, working in conjunction with the sealing strip 6 to achieve a sealed buffer between the base cabinet 5 and the countertop body 1. On one hand, the above installation structure can accommodate slight horizontal errors on the top surface of the base cabinet 5, avoiding deformation of the base cabinet 5 caused by traditional rigid fastening forces. On the other hand, the connection structure of the shock absorber 72 and suction cups 71 achieves a flexible connection between the countertop body 1 and the base cabinet 5. Combined with the filling effect of the sealing strip 6, the contact area between the bottom of the countertop body 1 and the top of the base cabinet 5 is increased, effectively buffering the impact and vibration generated during daily cooking operations, reducing resonance between the countertop 11 and the base cabinet 5, and significantly reducing noise during use.

[0023] The countertop body 11 is integrally formed by bending a sheet metal. It is welded and fixedly connected to the two end panels 12, the sink 13, and the mounting groove 14 to form an integrated countertop body 1 structure. The front backsplash 111 and the rear backsplash 113 of the countertop 11 directly prevent water from seeping outward from the countertop surface 112, respectively preventing water leakage towards the human body and the wall. Furthermore, the rear backsplash 113 and the back panel 2 work together to directly cover the wall, so that water and oil stains generated during washing and cooking will only adhere to the surface of the rear backsplash 113 and the back panel 2, eliminating the need for additional sealing treatment between the countertop body 1 and the wall, thus structurally preventing water leakage at the junction of the kitchen countertop and the wall. At the same time, the back panel 2 can be customized according to the customer's individual needs, such as changing the back panel 2 to different materials, colors, or textures to adapt to diverse styles such as modern, minimalist, and industrial, satisfying consumers' diverse pursuit of aesthetics in the kitchen space. A pre-reserved gap 31 is formed between the storage strip 3 and the wall, and an installation gap 41 is formed between the storage strip 3 and the decorative strip 4. The top of the storage strip 3 is used to hang the storage basket 8. The hook of the storage basket 8 can be hung on the top of the storage strip 3 through the installation gap 41, and the horizontal placement position of the storage basket 8 can be adjusted arbitrarily along the length of the storage strip 3 without the need for additional fixing structures or hanging tools, so that the kitchen countertop also has a storage function, which can be used to store kitchen utensils such as knives, pot lids, and cookware. The top of the storage strip 3 is provided with a third flange 34, and the hook of the storage basket 8 has an n-shaped structure, which can be stably hung on the third flange 34 of the storage strip 3. The structure of the storage basket 8 is not within the protection scope of this invention, so its specific structure is not limited. In addition, the surfaces of the backsplash 113, the back panel 2, and the storage strip 3 are designed to be coplanar, which can avoid misalignment and the generation of obvious gaps, effectively reduce kitchen hygiene dead corners, and make daily cleaning and maintenance easier.

[0024] In the above, such as Figure 4 As shown, the countertop 112 has a first through hole 1121 and a second through hole 1122. The top of the sink 13 is fixed to the first through hole 1121 by welding, and the top of the mounting groove 14 is fixed to the second through hole 1122 by welding. The stove is installed in the mounting groove 14 to achieve embedded installation of the stove, so that the installation height of the stove and the sink 13 are consistent, and the cooking and sink 13 operation heights are unified, thus optimizing the ergonomic user experience.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 4 The mounting groove 14 is provided with a number of upwardly extending protrusions 141. Each protrusion 141 corresponds to a burner 9 of the stove, so that the installation height of the burner 9 of the stove is higher than the bottom of the mounting groove 14, thus preventing water from accumulating in the mounting groove 14 from seeping out through the connection gap between the burner 9 of the stove and the mounting groove 14.

[0026] Preferably, see Figure 2 , 4The bottom of the mounting groove 14 is provided with an inclined second slope 142, and a number of protrusions 141 are provided on the second slope 142. The second slope 142 is inclined toward one of the corners of the mounting groove 14, and a drain hole 143 is provided at the inclined end of the second slope 142, so that water stains and soup can be directed to the corners of the mounting groove 14 to avoid spreading and flowing in the groove, thereby improving the drainage efficiency.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 4 , 5 The front baffle strip 111 includes an inclined first slope 1111, and the first slope 1111 has a third through hole 1112 corresponding to the position of the mounting groove 14. The third through hole 1112 is used to install the knob 91 of the stove. By installing the knob 91 of the stove on the first slope 1111, the installation area of ​​the knob 91 is far away from the countertop surface 112. Compared with the traditional stove knob 91 being installed on the flat area of ​​the kitchen countertop, the risk of water leakage at the installation location of the knob 91 can be eliminated. Furthermore, because the first slope 1111 is oriented towards the human body, the operation of the knob 91 conforms to daily cooking habits, effectively improving the convenience of operation.

[0028] Preferably, the inclination angle of the first inclined surface 1111 is 35°~55°. This angle setting fits the optimal viewing angle and hand force angle of human operation, making the knob 91 easier to operate and further improving the convenience of operation.

[0029] Preferably, see Figure 5 The front baffle 111 also includes a connecting strip 1113, which is connected to the countertop 112 and is inclined to facilitate cleaning of water and oil stains at the connection between the front baffle 111 and the countertop 112, and to prevent water from accumulating at the corner. Specifically, the connecting strip 1113 of the front baffle 111 is directly connected to the first inclined surface 1111 to form a triangular cross-sectional shape, which prevents water from accumulating at the top of the front baffle 111.

[0030] Preferably, the rear baffle strip 113 and the countertop surface 112 are connected by a rounded corner, which facilitates the cleaning of water and oil stains at the connection between the rear baffle strip 113 and the countertop surface 112, and prevents water from accumulating at the corner.

[0031] Preferably, see Figure 4 A reinforcing plate 17 is attached to the back of the tabletop 112 to improve the structural strength of the tabletop body 1. The reinforcing plate 17 can be made of aluminum honeycomb panel, wood board, foam board or HVAC board. In this embodiment, aluminum honeycomb panel is preferred because it is lightweight, structurally stable, and has strong resistance to compression and deformation, which can effectively enhance the overall load-bearing capacity of the tabletop body 1.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 5 The decorative strip 4 has a cover plate 42 on its back, which extends downward and is located behind the storage strip 3. The decorative strip 4 can be integrally formed by bending a sheet, with its bottom edge bent to form the cover plate 42, and the other three sides bent inward to improve its structural strength. During assembly, the decorative strip 4 is fixed to the wall and located above the storage strip 3. There is an installation gap 41 between the bottom of the decorative strip 4 and the top of the storage strip 3, which facilitates the hanging and removal of the storage basket 8. In addition, the decorative strip 4 can cover the reserved gap 31 to prevent dust from falling into the gap between the modular kitchen countertop and the wall through the reserved gap 31. The back panel 2 is set against the wall to cover the wall, so as to prevent users from directly seeing the wall from the installation gap 41, and further improve the overall aesthetics of the junction between the kitchen countertop and the wall.

[0033] In this embodiment, the back panel 2 is made of sintered stone, which is sintered at high temperature and has high hardness, scratch resistance, and stain resistance. In addition, the sintered stone material itself has rich natural textures and a variety of color options, allowing customers to choose suitable styles according to their individual needs, thus overcoming the decorative limitations of traditional wall tiling.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 5 The back panel 2 has a first mounting strip 21 and a second mounting strip 22 fixedly arranged in parallel on its back side, with the second mounting strip 22 located above the first mounting strip 21. The rear baffle 113 has several first inserts 15 arranged along its length at its top. The first mounting strip 21 has first insertion holes 23 corresponding to the first inserts 15, which are inserted into each other to achieve quick positioning and fixed connection between the rear baffle 113 and the back panel 2. The storage strip 3 has several second inserts 32 arranged along its length at its bottom. The second mounting strip 22 has second insertion holes 24 corresponding to the second inserts 32, which are inserted into each other to achieve fixed connection between the back panel 2 and the storage strip 3. Through the above arrangement, a stable assembly relationship is formed between the rear baffle 113, the back panel 2, and the decorative strip 4, ensuring that the surfaces of the three remain coplanar and avoiding obvious gaps due to misalignment, thus reducing hard-to-clean areas.

[0035] Specifically, the rear baffle strip 113 has a first flange 1131 at the top, the first insert 15 has an L-shaped structure, and multiple first inserts 15 are evenly distributed along the bottom of the first flange 1131, and the bottom of the first insert 15 is fixed to the first flange 1131 by welding.

[0036] Specifically, the storage strip 3 has a second flange 33 at the bottom, the second insert 32 has a “7” shaped structure, multiple second inserts 32 are evenly distributed along the bottom of the second flange 33, and the top is fixed to the second flange 33 by welding.

[0037] It should be noted that, for reference Figure 5 The back of the back panel 2, the back of the storage strip 3, and the back of the decorative strip 4 are all fixedly connected to the wall via a snap-fit ​​mounting assembly 10. The fixed connection method between the back panel 2 and the wall is described as follows: The mounting assembly 10 includes several first hanging blocks 101 fixed to the wall and several second hanging blocks 102 corresponding to and cooperating with the first hanging blocks 101. Multiple second hanging blocks 102 are respectively installed on the back of the back panel 2. The fixed connection between the back panel 2 and the wall is achieved by the second hanging blocks 102 and the first hanging blocks 101 hanging together. The fixed connections between the storage strip 3 and the wall, and between the decorative strip 4 and the wall, are all achieved using the same snap-fit ​​mounting assembly 10. The mounting assembly 10 is not within the scope of protection of this invention, and its specific structure is not limited.

[0038] Through the above-mentioned configuration, a stable and reliable assembly relationship is formed between the rear backsplash 113, the back panel 2, and the decorative strip 4, significantly improving the overall structural stability of the kitchen countertop. Meanwhile, each component adopts a modular design, and the back panel 2 supports personalized customization and convenient replacement, flexibly adapting to different decoration styles and usage needs, thus enhancing the product's practicality and market adaptability.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 2 , 6 The cabinet 5 comprises several cabinets 51 assembled sequentially. Each cabinet 51 is equipped with two suction cups 71 and two shock-absorbing blocks 72. The two suction cups 71 and the two shock-absorbing blocks 72 are respectively located at the four corners of the cabinet 51. The two suction cups 71 and the two shock-absorbing blocks 72 are diagonally distributed, so that the adsorption and fixing force of the suction cups 71 and the flexible support force of the shock-absorbing blocks 72 form a balanced diagonal force system on the cabinet 51. In two adjacent cabinets 51, one suction cup 71 of the preceding cabinet 51 and one suction cup 71 of the following cabinet 51 are diagonally distributed, and one shock-absorbing block 72 of the preceding cabinet 51 and one shock-absorbing block 72 of the following cabinet 51 are diagonally distributed, realizing the overall force coordination after the multiple cabinets 51 are assembled.

[0040] In this embodiment, the suction cup 71 can be an industrial-grade hand pump suction cup 71. During operation, a vacuum adsorption can be quickly established by pressing the piston on the top of the suction cup 71. The multiple diagonally distributed suction cups 71 work together to adsorb and fix the countertop body 1 onto the base cabinet 5, ensuring that the bottom of the countertop body 1 is in close contact with the shock-absorbing block 72, effectively buffering the impact force during daily use. At the same time, the negative pressure adsorption is a non-destructive fixing method. When disassembling, only pressing the pressure relief valve or pulling up the suction cup 71 pad is needed to release the negative pressure, easily separating the countertop body 1 from the base cabinet 5, which is convenient for later maintenance or component replacement and conforms to the modular design concept.

[0041] Specifically, see Figure 3 , 7 The back of the tabletop 112 is welded with reinforcing strips 18. Each reinforcing strip 18 is arranged directly above the splice seam of two adjacent cabinets 51. Both ends of the reinforcing strip 18 are provided with two symmetrically arranged connecting plane parts 181. The four connecting plane parts 181 are respectively attached to two suction cups 71 and two shock absorbers 72 to form a precise force transmission node.

[0042] Further, see Figure 8 The cabinet 51 is provided with a first mounting base 52. Specifically, the first mounting base 52 is fixed to two adjacent side walls of the cabinet 51 to ensure its installation stability. The suction cup 71 has a movable plate 73 at its bottom. At least two guide posts 731 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the movable plate 73. The guide posts 731 are vertically slidably connected to the first mounting base 52 to provide stable vertical sliding guidance for the suction cup 71 and prevent the suction cup 71 from shifting during the suction process. An adjusting nut 732 is screwed to the end of each guide post 731. A spring 74 is fitted on the 31. The two ends of the spring 74 abut against the adjusting nut 732 and the first mounting base 52, respectively. By changing the relative position of the adjusting nut 732 and the guide post 731, the compression of the spring 74 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the vertical height of the movable plate 73 and the suction cup 71. This ensures that the suction cup 71 can fit tightly against the connecting plane 181 at the bottom of the table body 1. Even if there is a slight horizontal error on the top surface of the cabinet 5, it can be compensated and adapted by the preload of the spring 74, ensuring the reliability of the adsorption and fixation.

[0043] In addition, by setting spring 74, a flexible connection between the countertop body 1 and the base cabinet 5 is achieved, which avoids deformation of the base cabinet 5 due to uneven force or vibration, and extends the service life of the overall structure.

[0044] In this embodiment, the shock absorber 72 can be a component with excellent elastic buffering performance, such as an airbag shock absorber or a rubber elastic shock absorber. Multiple shock absorbers 72 can form a flexible support buffer layer between the countertop body 1 and the base cabinet 5. On the one hand, it can efficiently absorb the impact force generated by daily cooking operations (such as cutting vegetables and placing heavy objects) and avoid structural vibration caused by rigid transmission. On the other hand, it can weaken the resonance effect between the countertop 11 and the base cabinet 5 and significantly reduce the noise during use.

[0045] Further, see Figure 9The cabinet 51 is provided with a second mounting base 53, which is fixed to two adjacent side walls of the cabinet 51 to ensure its installation stability. The bottom of the shock absorber 72 is provided with an adjusting plate 75, which is vertically slidably connected to the second mounting base 53. The adjusting plate 75 has a threaded hole 751, and a first adjusting screw 76 is rotatably connected to the second mounting base 53, threadedly engaging with the threaded hole 751. A second adjusting screw 77 is screwed onto the second mounting base 53, with its end abutting against the bottom of the adjusting plate 75. During adjustment, the first adjusting screw 76 is rotated first, utilizing the transmission effect of the threaded engagement to drive the adjusting plate 75 and the top shock absorber 72 to slide vertically along the second mounting base 53, thereby adjusting the installation height of the shock absorber 72. Then, the second adjusting screw 77 is screwed on until its end abuts against the bottom of the adjusting plate 75 to lock the installation height of the shock absorber 72. Since each shock absorber 72 corresponds to an independent second mounting base 53 and adjustment structure, the installation height of a single shock absorber 72 can be operated independently without being affected by the adjustment status of other shock absorbers 72, until the top surfaces of all shock absorbers 72 are adjusted to the same preset horizontal plane, effectively compensating for the unevenness problem caused by splicing, installation or processing errors on the top of the cabinet 5.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 2 , 3 6. Positioning pins 16 are fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the tabletop body 1; the base cabinet 5 is provided with positioning blocks 54 corresponding to the positioning pins 16 one by one, and positioning holes 541 are opened on the positioning blocks 54, and the positioning pins 16 are inserted into the positioning holes 541. During the assembly process of the tabletop body 1 and the base cabinet 5, this insertion structure can form a reliable circumferential constraint on the tabletop body 1, which can effectively limit the horizontal displacement of the tabletop body 1 caused by vibration and collision during use. At the same time, in conjunction with the adsorption fixation of the suction cup 71 in the connecting component 7 and the flexible support of the shock absorption block 72, the installation stability of the tabletop body 1 is further improved, avoiding problems such as displacement and loosening after long-term use.

[0047] See Figure 1 , 2 10. The present invention also provides an installation method for a modular kitchen countertop, the installation method being applied to the modular kitchen countertop, the installation method comprising: S01. Fix the base cabinet 5 to the ground according to the preset kitchen layout, and adjust the top of the base cabinet 5 to a horizontal state.

[0048] In this embodiment, several cabinets 51 are assembled on-site according to the preset kitchen layout to form a base cabinet 5, which is then fixed on the ground. At the same time, a laser level is used to level the top of each cabinet 51 so that the top of the base cabinet 5 is adjusted to a horizontal state.

[0049] S02. Attach the sealing strip 6 to the top of the base cabinet 5.

[0050] In this embodiment, the sealing strip 6 is preferably made of an aging-resistant and high-temperature-resistant elastic material and is adhered to the top edge of the base cabinet 5 with adhesive. In practical applications, it is difficult to adjust the top of the base cabinet 5 to a perfectly level surface. By attaching the sealing strip 6, the tiny gap between the top of the base cabinet 5 and the countertop body 1 can be effectively filled, increasing the contact area between the two. Furthermore, the elastic deformation capability of the sealing strip 6 can adapt to minor local unevenness and absorb minor vibrations during installation and use, thereby improving overall sealing and noise reduction. Compared to the existing method of sealing with adhesive, this structure avoids the problem of adhesive aging and cracking after long-term use. Moreover, when maintaining or replacing the kitchen countertop, there is no need to deal with difficult-to-remove adhesive, greatly reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0051] S03. Fix several suction cups 71 and several shock absorbers 72 to the base cabinet 5 according to the preset installation positions.

[0052] In this embodiment, two suction cups 71 and two shock-absorbing blocks 72 are installed at the four corners of each cabinet 51 of the base cabinet 5. In a single cabinet 51, the two suction cups 71 and the two shock-absorbing blocks 72 are diagonally distributed. After adjacent cabinets 51 are spliced ​​together, the suction cups 71 of the front cabinet 51 and the suction cups 71 of the rear cabinet 51 are distributed diagonally across the cabinet 51, and the shock-absorbing blocks 72 of the front cabinet 51 and the shock-absorbing blocks 72 of the rear cabinet 51 are also distributed diagonally across the cabinet 51. This diagonal distribution layout can evenly distribute the force on the countertop body 1 to all parts of the base cabinet 5, avoiding unstable support caused by local force concentration. After installation, adjust the installation height of each shock absorber 72 to ensure that the top of all shock absorbers 72 is on the same horizontal plane. This effectively improves the fit and contact area between the shock absorber 72 and the bottom of the tabletop body 1, ensuring that the shock absorber 72 provides uniform and stable flexible support to the tabletop body 1.

[0053] S04. Install the countertop body 1 onto the top of the base cabinet 5, so that the bottom of the countertop body 1 abuts against the top of the shock-absorbing block 72, and at the same time, use the suction cup 71 to attach and fix the countertop body 1.

[0054] In this embodiment, after the tabletop body 1 is positioned, each connecting plane 181 on the reinforcing strip 18 at the bottom of the tabletop body 1 corresponds to each shock-absorbing block 72 and suction cup 71. Operating the suction cup 71 expels the air between the suction cup 71 and the corresponding connecting plane 181. The negative pressure suction of the suction cup 71 directly locks the installation position of the tabletop body 1, preventing horizontal displacement. The shock-absorbing block 72 provides upward elastic support to the bottom of the tabletop body 1, while the suction cup 71 provides downward suction pull. The two work together to form a stable clamping state with bidirectional force. Combined with the elastic buffering effect of the spring 74 at the bottom of the suction cup 71, flexible support and limiting of the tabletop body 1 are achieved, effectively buffering the impact force generated during daily operation, weakening vibration transmission, and achieving good vibration reduction and noise reduction effects.

[0055] To further ensure the installation stability of the countertop body 1, please refer to... Figure 2 , 6 Four positioning blocks 54 are installed on the cabinet bodies 51 at both ends of the base cabinet 5, so that the positioning blocks 54 correspond to the positioning pins 16. The positioning pins 16 are inserted into the positioning holes 541 of the positioning blocks 54 to achieve circumferential positioning between the countertop body 1 and the base cabinet 5, effectively limiting the horizontal displacement of the countertop body 1 during use. Combined with the adsorption and fixation of the suction cup 71 and the flexible support of the shock-absorbing block 72, multiple stable positioning is formed, further improving the overall stability and structural reliability of the countertop body 1 installation.

[0056] Furthermore, the positioning block 54 has a "7"-shaped structure, with a mounting hole 542 on one side and a positioning hole 541 on the other side. Both the mounting hole 542 and the positioning hole 541 are oblong holes and perpendicular to each other. During installation, the four positioning blocks 54 are respectively installed on four different inner surfaces of the base cabinet 5. The positioning blocks 54 are installed on the inner surfaces of the corresponding cabinet bodies 51 using at least two screws. The horizontal installation position of each positioning block 54 can be adjusted along the length direction of the mounting hole 542. At the same time, the positioning pin 16 at the bottom of the countertop body 1 is inserted into the positioning hole 541 of the corresponding positioning block 54. The structural design of the positioning hole 541 and the mounting hole 542 being perpendicular to each other along their length directions can flexibly compensate for positional deviations during installation, ensuring that the positioning pin 16 can be accurately inserted into the positioning hole 541, effectively avoiding installation errors. At the same time, because the mounting surfaces of each positioning block 54 are different, it can form circumferential limits on the countertop body 1 from multiple directions, effectively restricting the horizontal movement of the countertop body 1.

[0057] Preferably, a rubber sleeve 161 is provided around the outer periphery of the positioning pin 16. The rubber sleeve 161 can buffer the collision and friction between the positioning pin 16 and the positioning hole 541, and avoid abnormal noise caused by hard contact.

[0058] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the base cabinet 5 is composed of five cabinets 51. The cabinets 51 at the first and last ends can be equipped with a suction cup 71 and a shock-absorbing block 72 at each of the two corners. The other two corners of the cabinet 51 are used to set up positioning blocks 54 to achieve circumferential positioning. The three middle cabinets 51 are equipped with suction cups 71 and shock-absorbing blocks 72 at each of the four corners to ensure that the base cabinet 5 exerts a balanced force on the countertop body 1.

[0059] S05. Install the back plate 2 and the storage strip 3 sequentially from bottom to top on the top of the rear water baffle 113, and set the surfaces of the rear water baffle 113, the back plate 2 and the storage strip 3 to be coplanar.

[0060] In this embodiment, the countertop body 1 is arranged against the wall, and the back panel 2 is fixedly installed on the wall by a snap-fit ​​mounting assembly 10. During installation, the first insert 15 at the top of the rear baffle 113 is inserted into the first insertion hole 23 corresponding to the first mounting strip 21 at the bottom of the back panel 2, so as to achieve quick positioning and position locking between the bottom of the back panel 2 and the rear baffle 113. The storage strip 3 is also fixed to the wall by a snap-fit ​​mounting assembly 10. At the same time, the second insert 32 at the bottom of the storage strip 3 is inserted into the second insertion hole 24 corresponding to the second mounting strip 22 at the top of the back panel 2, so as to complete the positioning and locking between the top of the back panel 2 and the bottom of the storage strip 3. The design of the three surfaces being coplanar can completely avoid obvious gaps caused by component misalignment, greatly reduce hygiene dead corners, and reduce the difficulty of daily cleaning; at the same time, the plug-in cooperation between the plug and the socket, combined with the wall fixing function of the hanging component 10, makes the back water-blocking strip 113, back panel 2 and storage strip 3 form a stable overall assembly structure, which can improve the appearance of the kitchen countertop and its integrity. In addition, the back panel 2 adopts a disassembly structure, which is convenient for later replacement and meets the personalized decoration needs of users.

[0061] S06. Install the decorative strip 4 above the storage strip 3, so that a preset installation gap 41 is formed between the bottom of the decorative strip 4 and the top of the storage strip 3.

[0062] In this embodiment, the decorative strip 4 is fixedly installed on the wall using a snap-on hanging assembly 10. During installation, it is ensured that it is parallel to the storage strip 3 below, and the installation gap 41 between the two is uniform. As described above, due to the reserved gap 31 between the storage strip 3 and the wall, the storage basket 8 can be hung on top of the storage strip 3. The decorative strip 4 not only conceals the reserved gap 31 between the storage strip 3 and the wall, but also provides ample space for hanging and removing the storage basket 8 through the installation gap 41. Simultaneously, the cover plate 42 of the decorative strip 4 can shield the wall, preventing users from directly seeing the wall from the installation gap 41, further enhancing the overall aesthetics of the junction between the kitchen countertop and the wall.

[0063] It is understood that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or modifications to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, and all such substitutions or modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
